Extension Cord, 240V, 12'

Extend Your Reach in the Grow Room With a 240V, 12-Foot Extension Cord

Power outlets in grow rooms and utility spaces are often placed inconveniently — requiring extension cords to reach ballasts, fans, pumps, and controllers positioned throughout the space. This 12-foot, 240V Hydrofarm extension cord provides additional reach without requiring new electrical work or permanent wiring changes.

The cord is rated at 15 amps and 3,600 watts maximum, sized for the power demands of grow lighting and environmental control equipment. The NEMA 6-15P/6-15R plug and receptacle configuration matches the 240V power outlets used by most high-wattage grow light ballasts. Heavy-duty molded outlets and 14-gauge wiring support continuous use in the grow room environment.

Key Features & Benefits

• 12-foot length — provides 12 feet of reach — suited for grow rooms where outlets are not conveniently located near the equipment.
• 240V rated — designed for 240V high-wattage grow lighting and equipment circuits.
• 3 outlets — three receptacles allow multiple devices to connect from a single extension point.
• 14-gauge cord — heavy-gauge wiring rated to carry 15 amps of continuous current safely.
• 3,600 watts maximum — rated for up to 3,600 watts of connected load across all three outlets.
• NEMA 6-15P/6-15R connectors — NEMA 6-15P male plug and 6-15R receptacle — standard 240V configuration for grow light ballasts and heavy equipment.

Who Should Use the Hydrofarm 12-Foot 240V Extension Cord

Growers who need to extend 240V power reach in their grow room — connecting ballasts, environmental controllers, fans, or pumps to 240V outlets that are not conveniently located near the equipment.

Extension Cord Safety in the Grow Room

Use extension cords only as a temporary or supplemental power solution — not as a permanent substitute for wiring. Keep cords away from standing water and do not run them under carpets, rugs, or any material that could trap heat during operation. Do not exceed the cord's rated amperage (15A) or wattage (3,600W). Indoor use only.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cord compatible with 240V grow light ballasts?

Yes — the NEMA 6-15P/6-15R configuration matches the 240V outlets and plugs used by most high-wattage grow light ballasts. Confirm your ballast plug matches the 6-15P/6-15R standard before use.

How many devices can I connect to the 3 outlets?

Up to 3 devices, provided the total combined load does not exceed 15 amps or 3,600 watts. Check the amperage draw of each connected device and ensure the total stays within the cord's rated capacity.

Can I use this cord in a humid grow room environment?

This cord is rated for indoor use. While grow rooms are often humid, avoid exposing the cord or its connections to direct water contact, pooling water, or condensation drip. Keep connections elevated and away from water sources.

Is there a 120V version of this cord available?

Yes — 120V versions are also available in 12-foot (BACDE12012) and 25-foot (BACDE12025) lengths.
