Lighter weight power cord
I remember seeing a thread about 50A power cords being made with a lighter weight material, but I can’t seem to find it. Is there such a thing and is it safe.

Well we built our own with correct ends for 50 amp cable. The cable is 6/4 SOOW electrical cable. It is rubber insulated rather than PVC. Stays flexible even below freezing.
6/4 SOOW cable
There is no need to use SOOW cordage ! It is rated for 600V. SJOOW is rated for 300V. Also rubber insulated.
Depending on the length, you probably only needed 8/4.
My cord is from a temp power box. It's 6/3 & 8/1 for the ground. Mine is "SOW"
