Very Good Cable
I really wanted cable that was UL and CSA approved, but after giving it a LOT of thought, I decided that my insistence on those approvals was 'overkill.' After coming to that conclusion, it made the choice of this 100' section of 8/3 SOOW an easy one. The cable soon arrived and I carefully inspected every aspect of it. It's very well made and the outside insulation composition and thickness are easily and beyond adequate to provide the safety I wanted. By the way, if you're making the 'typical' 100' generator extension cord, and you're going to go with 10/3 to save some money - I think you're making a mistake. Give your generator and appliances a break. Go 'up' to #8 gauge wire. What's the difference? A lot actually: when pulling 20 Amps, the 10/3 will lose 60% more Watts than the 8/3.

Good quality and works well. Wire coating and wires aren’t cheaply made.

Brand substitution
Brand was advertised as Carol, I got Southwire Royal. Maybe I missed some fine print...Anyhow should work fine for the application.

I ordered 8/3 and I got 8/5
The cable is heavy duty and shipping was fast. I ordered 25' of 8/3 but I got 8/5. I cut off the extra wires and built my cable. Works great.
