5.0 out of 5 stars What else, its an Orange Extension cord...., May 16, 2006

Does the job perfectly fine. Its 12 gauge so there's no amperage loss in 100ft length.

I use it with my Black and Decker 12 amp electric mower. Works great, everytime.

Some people have complained earlier that it doesn't fit their 2 pin plug on the female side of the cable. You should just make sure, if you plan to connect any 2 pin appliances, that the socket on the appliance has enough room to plug this in.

I've also connected this with 10amp machinery with additional 14gauge 50ft cable. That works too. I guess if you know what gauge of cable you need, you can't go wrong with this.

Some facts:
- 16 gauge is good for up 14 AMPS on 50 feet, up to 8 AMPS on 100 feet
- 14 gauge is good for up to 18 amps on 50 feet, up to 12 amps on 100ft, up to 6 amps on 200 feet
- 12 gauge is good for up to 18 AMPS on 100ft, up to 10 AMPS on 200 feet

Most appliances have amp or watt rating. If they have watt rating, divide that by 110 (assuming you are 110Volt country like US) and you get the amp. Example, if your appliance is 1200 watts, it's 1200watt / 110 volts = 10.9 AMPS.
