The Voltec 16-00590 locking adapter uses a short 2 foot cord to link a 30 amp locking style plug to a 30 amp RV style female connector. It is designed for situations where you want a small amount of flexibility and strain relief between a locking outlet and a standard RV cord.
The short length is easy to store but long enough to reduce leverage on the outlet compared to rigid adapters.
Q: How is this different from a solid block adapter?A: The 2 foot flexible section provides strain relief and allows the cord to hang naturally instead of putting direct stress on the outlet.
Q: Can this be used outdoors full time?A: It is designed for portable outdoor use. As with any cord, inspect regularly and replace if the jacket or connectors show damage.
