15' Garage Door Opener Extension Cord – 18 AWG 3-Wire Grounded – White

The 15' Garage Door Opener Extension Cord provides additional reach when the opener's factory power cord cannot reach the available ceiling or wall outlet.

Designed for garage door opener installations, this 18 AWG, 3-wire grounded extension cord features a low-profile design and white finish that blends cleanly with typical garage ceilings, rails, and opener installations.

Specifications

Extra Reach for Garage Door Opener Installations

Garage door opener power cords are relatively short because electrical outlets are normally installed near the opener.

However, existing garages do not always have the outlet exactly where the new operator needs to be positioned.

This 15' extension cord provides additional reach between the opener and an appropriately located electrical receptacle.

It can be particularly useful for:

• Replacement opener installations

• Garages with inconvenient outlet locations

• Wall-mount opener installations

• Retrofit projects

• Service work

• Temporary repositioning during installation

18 AWG 3-Wire Grounded Design

The cord uses an 18 AWG, three-conductor configuration with ground.

The grounded design maintains the equipment grounding connection between the opener and compatible grounded electrical receptacle.

Never remove or defeat the grounding connection to make the plug fit an incompatible outlet.

15-Foot Length

At 15 feet long, this cord provides substantially more flexibility than a short 3' extension without the excess cable of a much longer cord.

The extra reach can make it easier to route power neatly along the ceiling or wall when the receptacle is located away from the opener.

Flat, Low-Profile Cord

The flat-profile design is particularly useful for garage door opener installations where the cord may need to be routed neatly along a ceiling, wall, or structural surface.

The white finish also provides a cleaner appearance in most residential garages than a typical black or brightly colored utility extension cord.

Garage Door Opener Applications

This extension cord can be used with compatible residential garage door openers when the electrical requirements of the opener and installation permit extension-cord use.

Possible applications include compatible:

• LiftMaster garage door openers

• Chamberlain garage door openers

• Genie garage door openers

• Linear garage door openers

• Guardian garage door openers

• Marantec garage door openers

• Other compatible residential operators

Compatibility is based primarily on the electrical requirements of the equipment rather than the opener brand.

Important Installation Considerations

Before using an extension cord with a garage door opener, verify the opener manufacturer's electrical requirements and applicable electrical codes.

For a permanent installation, the preferred solution may be to have a properly grounded receptacle installed near the garage door opener.

Do not use an extension cord that is:

• Damaged

• Frayed

• Pinched

• Cut

• Missing its ground connection

• Underrated for the connected equipment

Keep the Cord Away From Moving Parts

Route the extension cord so that it cannot contact:

• Garage door sections

• Rollers

• Hinges

• Torsion springs

• Extension springs

• Lift cables

• Opener chain or belt

• Carriage or trolley

• Door arms

Secure the cord appropriately so it cannot fall into the path of the garage door or opener mechanism.
