48 ft Suspended Socket, Commercial Grade String Light Cord (medium/E26 base)

Suspended-style sockets that drop from the cord make these commercial grade string light cords some of our most popular and best-looking options! Made from durable 14 gauge wire, these heavy-duty string light cords are easy to install and instantly transform your outdoor space! See below for complete product specifications (specifically 14AWG vs. 16AWG).

16AWG CORDS and all CASES ship in 3-5 business days.

*The key differences between the two cord options is the 14AWG cord allows you to run longer lengths, and it has a bit heavier duty wiring. The benefit to the 16AWG cord is it's robust enough for commercial use, but light enough for easy installation (about 1/2 the weight of the 14AWG wire). Both cords provide heavy-duty construction and weather resistant sockets.
