This unique adapter is specially designed to solve the problem where you cannot plug in to certain outlets due to their orientation. Perhaps you're trying to connect to an outdoor outlet that was installed upside-down so the cord from the plug gets in the way of the outlet's rain cover. By sending the cable straight out from the outlet, this adapter will let you plug in. Weather-resistant cable has molded NEMA 14-50 male and female connectors and electroplated terminals for corrosion resistance. Length is about 18 inches, made with 6 AWG pure copper conductors rated for up to 50 amps. Great for RVs and electric vehicles alike.
