Quality Shore Power Cable?

Question:

What do you think about this 50 AMP/125V shore power cable? I cut the end off to fit a smart plug but I cannot find any copper cable. Is this junk?

Answer:

Totally junk. Unfortunately many manufacturers of AC shoreside molded cable are fabricated with untinned wire. As such, their service life is shortened. I'd certainly recommend replacing the cable and getting a new one without the corrosion.
