what makes a good extension cord

Here are some things to consider when choosing a cable.

Flexibility
More strands of smaller diameter copper make for a more flexible cable-one that is easier to handle and easier to coil.
Jacket Quality
A good SO or SJ rubber jacket gives the extension cord cable a durable cover without making it hard to coil.
Enough Outlets
Choose a cable with enough outlets to make sure you can power all the devices you want to use.
Consider a multioutlet cable
if you want to plug in devices all along its length.
Proper Cable Ends
Molded cable ends tend to be more durable as long as possible repairs are not likely to be necessary. Attached cable ends are a better choice for heavy gauge cables or cables that are exposed to the sort of use that will require eventual repair.
Lighted Outlets
Extension Cords/Cables which have outlets that are illuminated with integrated LEDs are great for low light environments.
