I want to use it for a 115V, 560W, 5.5 amps, 6000 btu window air conditioner in my shed. Is this the correct type of cord for outside use.

Not sure I can answer the question directly. I use mine for a 15 amp snow blower. I've had no problems with the 100' cord.

I am using this cord for my RV it is holding up very well in outdoor weather so i do not think you will have any problems with it

according to the package it's good for 115 volt @ 15 amp , so you should be fine .

Yes, I used it for my electric snowblower all winter in northern Minnesota.

Twelve AWG (Gauge) wire is rated at 20 amps. But there is length limits. The 100 feet plus whatever is in your house from the breaker box to the outlet that it's plugged into starts to get kind of long. Why risk it. Don't load it with more than 15 amps. Make sure the wire going to the outlet your plugging it into is also 12 AWG. If I may also add, if you are going to run an electric snow blower with this I would buy it soon. It's 12/7 and it could snow soon.

The Worx manual says (given 120V and 14.5 amps) that you should use a 12 gauge AWG cord at 50 ft. The manual says a 100 ft cord is "not recommended".

I use mine with an outdoor extension cord bought from Lowe's. I called K&H; & they said that's fine. I had no problems last winter--why would I? I think the heated pad only pulls about 20-25 watts? And the extension cord is rated for a weed-eater.

I would say that their would be no problem, but if this was mine, I would not use the 7,500 cord on that big of a generator. It might be ok, depending on the load, if the load is more than the 7,500 watts the cord would heat up real bad. if the load is smaller than 7,500 watts, then this cord is great. hope this helped

I use a 3 wire (grounded) 15 amp cord. Even on high, the watt draw is only about 130w, so the cord doesn't need to be extra heavy, just grounded

ran ours all last winter, it was hooked up to a outdoor power strip which was run off of a 100 ft heavy duty extension cord, so I think you would be fine using an outdoor heavy duty cord. I would recommend covering the connection to keep out moisture with a cord connector or even a plastic 2 liter bottle, just cut a slice in the side of it and stick the cord ends inside it.

That's what I used it for. It will go through the second season in the elements when I put it out shortly. The cord works fine so far.

you should be ok, but it is a single plug at the end, I bought a short same(as the extension cord) rated multi plug cord at homedepot. you can mostly find the extension here at http://amazon.com.I have a aircompresser hooked to this arrangement and use other power tools too.

Maybe. The cable is rated to 40+ amps with 3 separate 8 gauge wires inside so it is definitely overkill for such a low amp application. You could save a lot of money buying a cable with 12 gauge or even 14 or 16 gauge wire which is more than sufficient for 6.5 amps. The plug on this cable is designed for use on machines that need 208/220 volt power only. If you are unsure about anything you should consult an experienced electrician.

I do not know. First I would check "How many amps does your small a/c pull?" - then check with the manufacturer, Belkin for specs before trying that. Doing this could be tricky with a multiple outlet. Am not qualified to answer this question.

The power cord is 14 gauge(AWG), heavy duty. I have mine plugged into a 20amp circuit. It's setup to power 4 computers plus accessories. It should be adequate to run any devices designed to run on standard house current (15A, 125VAC).

I use two of these cords plugged together on a 7000 watt Toro generator with a 10500 watt surge. It runs at 85% capacity with my central air on with no problem.

Standard outlet is OK but I would not expose to the weather. Using it in a covered shed would be OK but not sure about rain. Also be sure to get the fan and exhaust hose. The heat generated will blow bulbs which are expensive without the exhaust fan cooling them down.

As a 50 foot cord it is pretty manageable. It is the medium duty, heavy gauge wire so it can certainly can get in a tussle if you let it. The heavy duty cords are the real bear. If you are running 15 amps or less this is the cord you want. Anything more than 15 amps you need the next size up. Less than 10 amps, you may want to step down and get the more flexible cord at a higher gauge.

Be careful about using in the garage as exhaust fumes can build up. I use the cord with the special 3 prong plug which is also sold by Amazon. This cord plugs into the special outlet on the side. That cord which is 25ft long ends with 3 110 female plugs. SEE: Coleman Cable 01912 25-Feet 10/3 Generator Power Cord with L5-30P Plug and 3-Outlets

Yes it is. The cable supplies the current to the house through a transfer box to your electrical circuit breaker/ or fuse box. If you over load one of the breakers in the box it will trip in the box. It is the amps not the wattage. I have a 6500 peak 5500 watt running generator that powers just about the whole house. A ten circuit transfer box. I have the gas furnace on line but not the air conditioner. I can live without air but not heat.
