40 Foot Cord
By Daniel O 
California
Review Posted 02/02/2023 
I really wish I would have sent this cord back, but i needed to run my generator.

The cord is so stiff that you can never stretch it out 40 feet! Cost to much for what you get, should have just made one myself.

Very sorry to hear you're having problems with your cord. Reliance has very good quality control on their products and we rarely see any issues. The Male end of this power cord is designed to be plugged into your generator, and the female end would connect to the inlet box on the home.

I'm thinking of buying Reliance 30amp/10circuit switch model# 31410CRK & a 40' power cord. Does power cord come in longer length? Will there be any power loss with 40'(or longer length) cord from 7000W portable generator to switch? Thank you

Looking at the Reliance Controls 30-Amp (4-Prong 40-Foot) Generator Power Cord and I see a lot of reviews here and other sites about the yellow 50' cord being substutied. How do I get the black made in the USA one?

I have an 8000 watt run/10,000 watt surge generator. Do I need a cable rated for 10,000 watts? I only see 7500 watts on your site.
