is this cord safe for outside use?

I believe so. The cord has a plastic outer cover and the end plugs are molded on, so as long as you keep the ends out of puddles, you should be ok. I'm using it outside myself

Ma'am, this cord was MADE for outside use. It's made to withstand being used just about anywhere.

I have used it outdoors without any problem. I would not leave it out in the weather. I keep mine coiled up in a box on the patio. I have not seen anything wrong with this. I will take in inside when it gets cold.

I believe so that is how I am using it. It's does say that it can handle moisture and sunlight also temps below -35. Mine is mostly used with my electric Tiller.

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

If this is going to be used outdoors you need to use outdoor rated cable. If not then no.

I don't think so, the cord doesn't appear to be one that would be safe exposed to wet. BUT... if the house is water-tight, you could use an extension cord made for outdoor use, plug pad into it and leave the pad cord inside the house.

Hi there - I'm not certain if it can be used outside. Since it does contain a plug-in heating pad inside the cushion, my concern would be that the electric cord would come into contact with water. Something to think about . . . I did see other pads in Amazon that are made for outdoor use. Why not take a look at those? Good luck!

The cord on mine doesn't look much different than any other J1772 connector I've used. I don't see any reason that you couldn't use it outdoors. If in doubt, you could maybe have some sort of plastic cover you hang over it to keep the rain off.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

I used this for connecting controllers within my Christmas display. So I did use them outdoors, but only for a month or so. I'm not sure about long-term exposure outdoors. I'm sure it would be fine within conduit or some area not exposed to UV.

I would not use this type of cable outside for a long run especially if exposed to elements. It's not rated for that.

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

I don't know if it is rated for outdoor use and used mine for indoor use. However it is double shielded meaning that each wire is enclosed in its own plastic coating and then both wires are then covered by another one together. I would say that it should be safe to use the wire outdoors.

The cord to the heating pad is heavy duty and is wrapped with wire to resist chewing. I doubt it would give any trouble in any weather short of flooding.

First off I do not know the conditions of the environment in which you intend on using your cord in. I would not recommend using the cord while its raining and I would not recommend using the cord if the cord is going to be submerged under any length of water. However if it had just stopped raining or if it's early in the morning dew on the ground it should be fine as long as the cord is in good condition and you're using good judgement. Extend the cord between the two points first and then plug it in. Make sure before you put the cord away that you unplug it from the source of electricity first.

Yes, it is water proof up until where you plug the cord into the box. I've used mine in the water at the beach with no problems.

Technically, no, the cord is not rated for outdoors & the metal power strip is not sealed to keep water out. Have said that, the last one I bought is in our motor home & we use it camping to power things at the campsite such a toaster oven, griddle, extra lights, radio, tv, etc. We just don't use it in wet conditions, I have outdoor cords for those occasions.

I would get outdoor grade cord. as far as exposing to the elements(rain orsnow) the connection should be elevated!

We only plug it in when we are out on the patio. I imagine the power cord is safe for outside use.
