Great price for a light-duty extension cord. You must select the correct length from the drop-down box to get accurate tech specs.
The 50ft is rated 13 amps, the 100ft is rated 10 amps. They both are the same gauge cable (16/3), so saying "buy two 50ft if you need 13 amps" is simply ignorant. The inherent resistance in copper cable increases with length, which is why 50 ft handles 13 amps and 100 ft only safely handles 10 amps. If you need 13 amps at 100 ft, get a heavier gauge cable (14/3).
