I have a portable power generator that has a 60Amp NEMA 14-60 receptacle and I need to connect that to a transfer switch with a CS6364 type socket. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy such a cable? I'd love to have a 15-20 run, but can make do with a 10ft cable.
All I can find (and even that took some searching) is a 50Amp cable with 14-50 plug on one end and the desired CS6364 connection at the other.
Is there a supplier I have not come across yet, or is there an easy fix. The 14-60 plug has one u-shaped and 3 straight/flat terminals. The difference between the 14-50 and 14-60 is that the middle flat terminal is aligned with the other flat terminals for the 14-50, and it is turned 90 degrees for the 14-60
Thanks Bob - I have scoured several of those online but no luck yet. 14-50 (50Amp is relatively available but the 14-60 (60Amp ones) seem extremely rare.
If Northern Tool doesn't have it you will probably need to make one.
Good Luck
I was afraid of that.... seems crazy that they sell a generator but not a cable to actually use the generator... well, there are other outlets but none of them higher than 30Amps

One place you may try is a mobile home supply store. I have found them there. RV and mobile home parts suppliers do carry them around where I live and I thought of them because I was having the same difficulty finding what I needed at a regular electrical suppliers
If you can source the connectors, then all you need is a length of 4-gauge (or even 6-gauge if the run is short) cable shielded cable. I like to use 4-gauge or 2-gauge welder's cabling as it remains soft/flexible in cold weather.
