Coleman Cable TRC GFCI Plug is a purpose-built 120V NEMA 5-15P plug designed for commercial, light industrial, and residential environments.
With a built-in ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), this yellow PVC coated plug provides immediate protection at the point of use. In settings where moisture, liquids, or humidity are a concern—workshops, job sites, garages—you can trust this plug to shut down power if an imbalance is detected, reducing the risk of electric shock for people and equipment.

Why this TRC GFCI plug stands out
- Concrete safety at the point of connection: integrated GFCI protection helps meet code requirements for many workplaces and damp locations without needing a separate outlet.
- Durable construction: PVC insulation resists cracking and flexes with daily use, making it suitable for rough environments.
- Easy recognition: the distinctive yellow jacket reduces mis-plugging and makes cables easier to locate on crowded jobsites or busy workshops.
- Versatile compatibility: designed to work with standard 120V circuits in homes, offices, or temporary power setups.
Ideal use scenarios
- Jobsite power hookups where moisture is a factor, such as outdoor maintenance, construction, or landscaping projects.
- Workshops and garages needing immediate GFCI protection for power tools and adapters.
- Event setups or temporary installations where quick, reliable GFCI protection is essential.
Tips for optimal use
- Match your equipment to a 15A circuit; avoid overloading the plug by plugging in high-draw tools simultaneously.
- Inspect the plug and cord for signs of wear before each use; replace if the PVC jacket shows cracks or the contacts appear corroded.
- Keep connections dry and off wet surfaces to maintain GFCI effectiveness and longevity.
How it works
The built-in GFCI monitors the current balance between the hot and neutral conductors. If the current leaving through the hot wire does not return through the neutral (as when a fault occurs), the GFCI trips in a fraction of a second, cutting power to reduce shock risk.
For professionals and DIY enthusiasts who demand dependable protection, the Coleman Cable TRC GFCI Plug delivers reliable 120V, 15A GFCI functionality in a rugged, highly visible yellow jacket—perfect for safer power on every job.
