Extremely flexible and durable construction Power cord is flexible and durable. Protected with a PVC coating that is flame retardant and heat resistant to serve as a protective layer against wear and tear, as well as against the weather.

Questions & Answers

What happens when the cord gets cold? Does it become stiff and difficult to coil?

With the kind of weather we had in Ayr, I never had any issues coiling it.

Do the female plugs on this power cord have the standard cs6364 locking connector? What is the maximum output of this power cord? Would it be possible to use it with a 12,000 watt generator?

This unit is licensed for 50 amps and should work well with a surge generator up to 12 kW. I am using it with a 9 kW surge generator that surges up to 11250 watts

It's interesting that some cords, like the Conntek, have a center conductor at the end of the twist lock. Why isn't it present here? Do you mean that spring load is just a spring?

Thanks Morris, I understand the purpose of the center hole on the Conntek to help secure the plastic cover, as it is not acting as Check with Conntek to be sure. We do not use this center hole because of the different design and assembly of the models. Hopefully this will help, but if you need further assistance please contact us at 800-799-7273 Three hundred thirty-four We can be reached on 04-04-2004 if you need a product specialist to assist you.

An auxiliary generator with a power transfer switch can provide 12000 Watt of backup power. Can we use this cable for a few days at a time to connect the generator to the inlet?

Yes, I agree. As long as you have all the connections and safety features on your generator and box, this shouldn't be an issue.

Selected User Reviews For Camco 55542 25-Feet 50 AMP Standard Male / 50 AMP Locking Electrical Adapter

The product is made with extra touch in craftsmanship making it stand out from the competition

4/5

My overall impression is that the cord is very well-constructed, and the handle located on the end that goes into the electrical connection at the pedestal makes it easier to plug in as it is not too small and not I appreciate the handle, especially for a plug and cord that are as heavy and large as a 50 AMP plug. Also, with the twist end attached to our trailer, the connection is snug and it goes well together, so I'm confident that no water gets inside the plug and shorts The cord was a bit stiff when it was first laid out, but after a few days in the sun, it softerened up a bit, which made it easier to work with. Nice touch are the fabric snaps that are included with the cord. Cords are neatly wound together and the handle makes them easier to carry since they are kept wound together. Camco is a company I have purchased several items from and so far I have been satisfied with the quality of the products. There's no doubt I'd recommend this cord to other people.

An issue with the threaded retention ring's short shot caused a quality issue

3/5

I did not receive any response from the I ordered this product with a defect on the threaded retaining ring and the maker has yet to respond about replacing it. The cord is heavy and flexible, and the plug fits well, but mine came with a defect on the retaining ring.

What you ordered was delivered exactly as you requested

5/5

Getting it delivered quickly and fitting perfectly is a pleasure. This cord is not overly stiff and I have never had a circuit trip over a 50 amp plug, but that used to happen a lot over a 30 amp plug. I expected a sturdy building to last me a long time. It should be noted that I work with heavy gauge electrical cables every day at work, so I am satisfied with my.

The power cable is 50 amps and fantastic

5/5

In addition to being flexible and lightweight, Camco 50 amp power cables provide far more power. In order to ease the locking process, it is suggested to lubricate a stainless steel fitting with silicone spray before plugging it into the camper.

This cable works very well and is less expensive than many other cables

5/5

It is very flexible and plugs directly into my GE inlet box. My box does not have a provision to engage the locking ring, however it is not necessary for me.

So far I have not used it to black out a room

5/5

It seems to be good quality though. It looks well constructed, but I'd like them to include a 15 or 30 degree male end so that it would fit more easily in the generator. Even straight would be fine with a home-engineered.

It has a solid cord and is easy to grip

5/5

I feel they are worth it despite being a bit more expensive compared to other grips I've seen, since they are very sturdy and have grips on ends.
