CGM Patented Safety
FOunded in 1985
-58°F Sub Zero Rated

Century Wire & Cable — patented CGM safety for professional contractors.

The signature engineering across the Century lineup is the patented Continuous Ground Monitoring (CGM) connector — a green-light indicator that ground continuity exists in the circuit, paired with an amber-lighted male plug indicating power flow. Add to that the -58°F Sub Zero® cold-weather jacket, the Pro Glo® high-visibility theft-deterrent yellow jacket, and the Pro Lock™ 80-lb pull-strength locking connector that won’t accidentally disconnect — and Century delivers safer, more durable cords for every condition Canadian contractors meet.

Century welding lead cord assemblies in multiple colors

Heavy-duty extension cords, temporary power distribution, welding leads, and generator transfer cords engineered for the professional jobsite. The signature Pro Lock™ locking connector and Pro Glo® high-visibility weatherproof jackets — both with patented Continuous Ground Monitoring — carried across Canada by Cantherm Distributors.

Century Pro Lock extension cord with patented locking CGM connector

Pro Lock™ Extension Cords

Pro Lock™ ends accidental disconnects on the jobsite. Each Pro Lock cord is 80-lb pull-strength molded with Century’s unique patented Pro Lock™ female connector. When a standard 15A-125V 3-conductor male plug is inserted, it won’t pull apart — preventing the inconvenient loss of power that derails work. To disconnect, simply pull down on the connector collar. Available in 10:3 and 12:3 gauges, in 50ft and 100ft lengths.
