Garmaine Staff asked 2 years ago
I went into home depot to get an extension cord that was 5 foot 14 gauge. I couldn't find anything that small in that gauge and I asked the employee for his recommendation. He told me to just make my own and he proceeded to cut me 5 feet of 12 gauge wire and hands me a female and Male plug.
I've wired outlets and Ethernet before so I'm not too worried about it I just want to confirm some things before I do it so I don't blow the house up.
Green is ground, Black is hot, White is neutral.
Black goes to the gold contact and white to the silver contact. Green meeting green. Is this correct?
