S.O. 50 amp cord
I frequently see reference to S.O.cord that is "lighter and more flexible"than regular 50 amp. What does S.O. stand for, what do I ask for and where do I buy it? Tried to find it online but I evidently did not use the secret words.

S.O. is a stranded wire very flexible heavily shielded oil resistant wire. Most RV dealerships carry it with one or both ends. If you're wiring inside a building I'm not sure about using it in that matter.
This is at Home Depot.com

If you remove the periods you will get the correct results when searching. It's SO (also SOW, SOO, SJW and a slew of other types). The letters are codes for the cable type and properties.

The letters mean something. SO is different than SOW and SOOW:
- S = Service cord
- J = Junior service cord
- O = Oil-resistant outside jacket
- OO = Oil-resistant both inside insulation and outside jacket
- W = Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) designation for weather and water resistance
- T = Thermoplastic
- E = Elastomer
Mostly, you will find SOOW as it meets all specs.
