Pair this with the Conntek Inlet box for a perfect fit (http://amzn.to/1MUrPBN)

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Works great! I also purchased the Conntek ISI 80SS2-GYBX Temporary Generator Transfer Switch Power Inlet Box, 50 Amp (http://amzn.to/1MUrPBN) and would recommend that Power box as the cable fits perfectly. I've read some other reviewers who had issue with a different brand box not accepting the cable very easily. No need for any grease to get this cable to work with the Conntek box. It fits snugly but smoothly and is easy enough to lock into place without much trouble.

Hurricane proven

We are using this with a Duromax Dual Fuel generator to power our home after losing power from Hurricane Irma (5 days and counting at this point). This cable has been in constant use since our power went out and has not gotten hot or failed. The connections are very firm and did not loosen or fail at all during extremely heavy winds and driving rain. We would recommend this cable to anyone need to run a heavy load. We have it connected via a Reliance Controls Corporation PBN50 50-Amp NEMA 3R CS6375 Power Inlet Box for Generators Up to 12,500 Running Watts

be safe and prepared for your family

this cord is heavy duty and can handle any watts or voltage you may have in you home or shop or some kind of storage you may have, this cord works great with the generator of my choice duromax XP10000EH or the duromax XP12000EH both works really well just install a 50 amp breaker in your main breaker box hook up your wires to a transfer switch power inlet box 50 AMP and you are set. the set up will need is one of the duromax generator the power inlet box and this power cord don't forget you have to get a cord to run from your main breaker box to the inlet box make sure you mount this box outside your or in a garage will be find but make sure that the generator is outside your house not in the garage will the doors closed almost forgot these generators run off of gas and propane yes propane last twice as long as gas plus during a power outage most of the gas stores will have no power so you can't buy gas but propane last for years, one of those tanks that use for a fish fryer is fine or go by lowes and get a 100lb tank this is your best buy because this tank is yours all you have to do is to get a refill and bring it home. and by the way EBAY can send you a EMAIL when these generators go on sale I hope this help.

I live in Miami and lost power during Hurricane Irma. Luckily I was well prepared with a large generator and a 50 amp inlet that was installed at my house. I ran my portable generator for 6 days for about 23 hours per day and we were very comfortable. This cable never got warm as it has 6AWG conductors for the two hot legs and the neutral line. The ground conductor is 8 AWG and this ran perfectly in 100-degree heat. I was able to run my central A/C because of this 50 amp connection and I am so glad that I was prepared. This is a quality cable that I will recommend to anyone looking for an emergency generator connection for their portable generator!

Wife approved

It's a good cord. I put electricity in one end, it comes out the other. I use it to connect my 10kw generator to the house transfer switch. The plug ends are heavy duty, and the cord itself is a big fatty but flexible enough to be managed. Judging from the diameter of the cord vs. the wire my electrician used for the transfer switch, it's overkill for a 50A, 240V circuit, but my wife told me too thick is never a problem.

Works for Generator

Awesome, heavy duty cord. We've got a 50 amp reliance power inlet box wired to our panel with an interlock kit. And I've got the duromax dual fuel generator 13k/10.5k running that has the 50 amp plug. This is much better, and more cost effective than the Generac 10' ($127.00) or The Generac 20'($280) cord. It's the EXACT SAME THING, same heavy jacket rated for 12,500 watts. And exterior use. Generac is SO expensive, and their standby generators are out of this world, then the Install is $4k +. So after building an generator enclosure, treating my "portable Generator" as a true standby I've got less than 25% wrapped up in the project. About $1,800. After electrician, materials etc. Get yourself a dual fuel generator, and a couple 100# tanks LPG stores for years! One note, you'll have to get different 2 stage propane regulator. MB Sturgis I'd recommend.

Reasonable quality for the price

Wow, pretty sturdy cable. Seems to work great with my whole-house portable generator plugged into an outdoor 50A receptacle. I wish it was 6/4 instead of 6/3+8/1 (which is why I only gave it 4 stars), but I can live with that. I'm using it in conjunction with: Generator http://www.amazon.com/Generac-5735-GP17500E-Portable-Generator/dp/B001RCUOU6 Outdoor Receptical http://www.amazon.com/Reliance-Controls-PB50-Generator-Generators/dp/B000HRWGBW Panel Interlock http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CONE4MG (this depends on the brand/type of panel you have...I've got a SquareD model) An electrician wired this up to a 240V/50A breaker in my 200A main panel which energizes the entire house. Works in a testing env, but haven't had an outage yet to test for longer-term use. (knock on wood) Total cost for whole-house generator backup was about $3k (including the elecrician fees to deal with the panel). It's a manual switchover, but it's functional and meets code.
