What is the maximum ambient temperature the extension cord can be operated at? The "US Wire 59050" is rated for 105 Celsius.

The outside jacket is stamped 60 deg celsius. If you need 100 degrees celsius I'd purchase the extreme weather cord 99025. The ASIN number is B002HWRSAE.

If the cord is rated at 105c, that is the maximum temperature that the jacket and inner conductor compounds can be exposed to. I am not sure what you mean by what is the maximum temperature that the cord that be operated at? can you be more specific? what is your application?

As noted, the unit is rated to be operated 14 ̊ to 122 ̊F (-10 ̊ to 50 ̊C). The thermocouples (probes) would depend on the type you use. Those provided are type K, and rated for -40 ̊ to +900 ̊F (-40 ̊ to +480 ̊C).

If you are using the high gain antenna outdoors by running the USB cable back inside to a computer, I would assume it will handle reasonable temperatures down to say 0F IF you provide a weather proof enclosure. If you are running the antenna and computer outside, again assuming some kind of weather proof enclosure, I would expect it to operate at whatever temp your computer can stand. I suspect the major limitation is the temp effect on the battery of the computer. As with any electronic device, sudden large temp swings should be avoided. If you are just trying to get the maximum range from a remote WiFi signal I would suggest attaching the antenna to the inside of the glass of a window.

The critical temperature is around 150 F. Doesn't matter how you get there. I use a heat lamp.

I do not know the temp range as it is not calibrated. I have found that the mid-point is hot enough to both tin the tip and solder wires to delicate connectors. For the price, it is a good unit. The flat tip that comes with the unit is not ideal for soldering in tight spaces - I recommend that you order some conical tips if you are going to be working with circuit boards.

Yes, it is celsius. 300c is equal to 572f. Using it to switch 220v or 110v will not change the temperature range.

I have no idea what temperature it reaches. What i can tell you is that it has no trouble rapidly soldering even a bundle of several 12 gauge wires. This gun really rocks.

So far I have only had it plugged into the AC to 12v adapter in the house and it maintains a temperature that fluctuates between about -3 and -8 deg F easily. I would expect it would do as well plugged into a lighter receptacle in 80 degree temperatures. It might not get all the way to the -8 max cold in 90 degree temps in the direct sun but it would probably be able to maintain 0 at least. I will eventually be using mine in a motor home full time and I'm sure it will keep my pizzas frozen rock solid. :0)

A regular outlet that is seen in most American households is appropriate. Do not plug into an extension cord but directly into the wall. It comes with a cord for use in an American outlet...don't know which number that is. The temperature drops about 10 degrees, give or take a few degrees when pressing, and I can use it on top of plastic folding table.

I have found this heater to work as advertised. I have only used the heater plugged directly into the wall outlet. I would not hesitate to operate my heater with an extention cord with 14 to 12 guage copper wire.

The temperature of the cable is not controlled. It is a simple resistance heater, designed to work well at cooler temperatures. You need to turn it off when the weather gets warm to prevent it from over heating and being damaged. There are temperature controlled switches designed for these heater cables that turn them off above about 35or 40 degrees F. That is also why they should not touch each other, the cable may overheat at the point of contact.

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 apologize for taking so long, I just found the information. The operating temperature for this unit is -10 degrees C - +50 degrees C, or 14 F - 122 F.

I bought my heating cable at the beginning of last winter. I has worked fine for me. I used my heating cable inside of a building where it was not exposed to the weather other than low temperatures. I guess the lowest temp. to have been around -10 degrees.

My adaptor states '90 W Max'. I am still using it and have had no problems. Hope this helps!

I'm not exactly sure. I had it controlling a fan in a green house that was getting way too warm. However, once I got this wired up and working the green house never got over 100 F. On the low end, I'm not at all sure since I only used it in the summer. It's fairly sturdy in the construction and uses some old school tech. I'd be surprised if it would stop working at a high temperature unless it started to melt the plastic.

Yes... the specs say do not exceed 350F for the probe itself... the problem is that the probe is ok beyond that, but the rubber insulation on the wire melts above 400F as I found out the hard way. Since the probe is not detachable from the wire I do not exceed 350F with the new probe I had to buy.
