Can this cable handle heat. I need a better cord for my Delonghi room oil heater?

I just used it for my bird bath heater so I was more concerned with using it outdoors. It was just fine. Sorry I can't help.

I don't think a cord can be too "powerful". I do believe it is UL rated. It sure is heavy. Do you need a 50' cord for a heater?

Toolman, that cord is best used for small lights, I use it for my lights in the back window of my Patrol car, it is good for things like that, it will heat up if used for cooking appliances the 5 amps can take it and will melt the wire after prolonged use. I hope this will be help full...

I would depend on what you are powering. If you are using more than 7500 watt then do not use this cord.

I guess it would depend on what you were using at the end of the extension cord. I wouldn't use it with anything that pulls a lot of watts(heaters, hair dryers, curling irons, etc.) Other than that I would think it'd be ok.

Yes , I think that would work just fine. My winch has never generated much heat at all. In fact my cable has some kinks and is starting to fray. I will replace with synthetic when the time comes.

not sure about that but mine broke after only a couple months . The cord was so hot that the house smelled like something was on fire. It worked well for order but looks cheap and did not last.

If it looks like the right size (2.25-inch prong), then it probably will. My old fry pan was a Presto, but it works just fine with the temperature control plug for my new DeLonghi. One is 1500w and the other is 1600w. There doesn't seems to be any difference in performance. I'm guessing this is a standard-size plug for fry pans.

The Heat Cable get noticeably warm, but not hot, should be just about right for reptiles that would be moving on and off of the cable. I am using mine in a non traditional way to keep a portion of my household well water pump from freezing during the night. I have mine setup on a timer so it only runs during the coldest part of the night.

The book says not to , but it has a short cord that makes it impractical not to use an extension . I used a short heavy duty air conditioner cord on mine and I'm sure it will be fine . You probably wouldn't want to use a cheap lamp cord type extension cord .

You can if it's a very heavy duty extension cord. The typical extension cords can handle the load of the heater and tend to over heat which could lead to a fire.

Basically, electrical cords are rated by the maximum wattage dissipation within the cord. Too technical? Too many watts can cause the cord to overheat. Watts are the product of volts x amps -- and since we normally deal with 120VAC lines, the rating is expressed as amps. This cord can handle 15 amps. Therefore, if your refigerator wattage (usually found on the refigerator or in the manual) is 1800 watts or less, then the extension cord would work just fine.Regards,

I would say that their would be no problem, but if this was mine, I would not use the 7,500 cord on that big of a generator. It might be ok, depending on the load, if the load is more than the 7,500 watts the cord would heat up real bad. if the load is smaller than 7,500 watts, then this cord is great. hope this helped

I don't know for sure because I am not using it to heat an entire room, but I think it might warm one up nicely. Especially if it is a smaller room. I suggest you visit the DeLonghi website. I love mine!

I use these hest cables but I have them connected to a thermostat so it doesnt get too hot and melt the plastic

I don't know...The cord and plug does not get warm after using this heater...

The only problem I see is that those cords are fine wire wrapped around itself. This unit works better with solid wire, but could probably do the other type cord. Just be careful and slow. Do not use to much pressure or the cord will break.
