If SO cables were used as permanent power sources, abrasion resistance wouldn’t matter. You’d install equipment once, pull the cable, and leave it there forever. Water resistance would be a great advantage, but abrasion concerns would be minimal. The truth is that SOW cable is often used as a temporary power source. It’s dragged over pavement to power a portable motor at a workshop. Pulled through the mud at every stop on a rock band’s tour schedule. And after all that abuse, it’s rounded up, jammed in the back of a storage unit, and expected to perform perfectly the next time.
SO cable takes a beating, and that’s why abrasion resistance is such a benefit. By virtue of a strong outer cover that protects the insulation, SO cable is heavy-duty and reliable. Thank goodness for that, because the last thing you want is for a hole to open up on the conductors. When exposed to the elements, the cable could pose a fire hazard.
Trust SO cable to retain its abrasion-resistance capability through even the toughest conditions, and then roll the flexible wire up and store it away for next time.
