Our office building situation makes it impossible to use a permanent/standby generator. Installing a transfer switch for our portables is nearly as improbable/borderline impossible. These cords are a godsend!
During "severe" outage (think "hurricane"), we need to power the following:
UPS 1: mainframe computer, 6 monitors, telephone/internet channel bank/router
UPS 2: FAX/e-mail server, monitor, four modems
UPS 3/4: Dedicated security system.
Plus, two smaller UPS systems and computers and three "window-shaker" A/C units.
We use two portable generators. We have four of these cords. And believe it or not, we pull it off!
Admittedly, we shut some of the computers down at night, but a s a 24-hour emergency-type service, we ARE operating 24 hours a day. It would not be possible to run safely and effectively without these cords, given our set-up.
They are a GREAT investment, even if you DO have a transfer switch. You can use an "extra/spare" outlet to power temporary tools/radios/etc., a small fridge or your neighbor's TV. These cords are well worth the money spent.
