Answer:
Hey Greg thanks for your question. SJOOW is a type of flexible cord included in Table 400.4. The SJ is for Hard Usage, OO means the jacket and conductor insulation are oil resistant, and W means suitable for use in wet locations and sunlight resistant.
The marking letters are explained on pages 27 and 28 of the UL Wire and Cable Marking Guide.
