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

I have come across a few when enquiring of the manufacturers of the PCs I was looking at. I ended up with vhaudio airsine because Chris was very credible in his statements about voltage ratings (and they are very nice cables too). Some said 'no way should you use our cables on 230V'.

I'm using VH Audio Airsine and Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha both with US 3-prong on 230V. I've also used MIT Oracle AC2 US 3-prong and they are in fact specifically rated for up to 240V operation iirc (it's marked on the red paper ring around the male lead).
