US connectors with 220/240v

Hi,
Can I use US sockets & plugs with Europe 220/240v ? This is with the understanding that the apparatus can accept 220/240v.

I have many cables with the US standard and before changing them to schuko maybe would be best to use as is juts adapt the power distributor; fit oen schuko to plug into mains at wall

Thanks
Tim

yes you can.

I am on assignment here in Singapore where British style 220V is the standard. many dealers here changed their outlet to US style 110V receptacle and use US style 110V power cords because US style plug has more "bite" and sounds better.

I did exactly that, I built a power distributor so I can continue to use my US power cords on 220V electronics.
