    On the one hand, there are legitimate uses for double ended male cords. On the other, absolutely none of those legit uses invovle christmas lights

        generator hookup shouldn’t be one of those, as shouldn’t proper generator transfer switches have plugs designed so you don’t need a suicide cable?

          Yeah for sure, they do make generator sockets, which are a fully shrouded male plug meant to be used with a generator transfer switch.

          But still, people do hook up generators this way sometimes. Regardless def not many good uses for a suicide cable
