Temporary Cables

[JDBrown]

What type of cables do you use for temporary connections in an Electrical Room? I've got something specific in mind, but I don't know exactly what it is (helpful, right?). I've seen this cable run along the walls and floors of electrical rooms in the past, for temporary feeder connections during construction. It has very thick insulation, and is probably fairly flexible (although I haven't tried bending it to check). Any idea what this is? Some type of large SJ cord, maybe?

For anything of any size, I tend to go with Type G or Type W.

Or type SC.

TC is not as flexible as SJ, SO, etc... but it's tough. We use it for temp stuff often.

I concur, I have been involved in several temporary feeders installations and have had great experiences with SO(bologna cable) cables. Be sure to save the cables for future jobs!

Thanks for the input, guys. I'll take these options to the boss and see what he says.
