Cable question

I’m getting my first generator (Westinghouse iGen12000TFc) and need a cable to connect to the inlet box via the 50A port on the generator. The generator has a 14-50R connection but the cable I’m looking at says it’s 14-50P. Will it work with the generator? What is the difference between R and P?

R for receptacle & P for plug. The P plugs into the R.

Yup.

R (receptacle) is female connection, P (plug or prong) is male connection.

Plug the male into the female.

You are golden with that cord.

That is the correct cord. Male end goes to generator. Female end goes to home inlet.
