The first thing we have to do is clarify the question. A cable rating of 125 volts is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. So to answer the question yes, the 125 volt insulation rating on the cable can be used to supply a source of 120 volts to a 120 volt rated piece of equipment.

Can you plug in a 240 volt equipment into 110 volt electric socket?
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.
What happens when 240 volt equipment is plugged into a 120 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
When equipment is run at a lower voltage than it is designed for, it does not operate correctly. A light will glow dimly or not at all, a heater produces much less heat. Electronic equipment may not function at all.
Can you use armored cable to wire 277 volt lights?
Yes.
Can you use a 8 volt 200 mA adapter to power a 6 volt 200 mA device?
It might work if the device that you are plugging it into has its own voltage regulator, there is no way of knowing this. Personally I would not take the chance. When a manufacturer designs a piece of equipment it uses a specific voltage for the circuitry to operate on. Varying from this voltage is not a good idea and most likely it will void the warranty if the device becomes inoperable.
What do you mean by a 5 volt lamp?
lamp works on power of volt
What would 0.33 volts power?
Point three three or 1/3rd of a volt will power any piece of equipment that is designed to operate on that voltage. To put it into perspective 1 volt = .33 volts x 3.
What is the colour of a 110 volt power cable -?
YELLOW
Can you run 12 volt equipment on 24 volt power?
No! You would damage it beyond repair.
The power cable assembly connects to a power source?
208 volt, three phase
To run a 220 volt cable about 21 ft from breaker to garage will there be any loss of power?
Not enough to make any difference to any type of equipment that you want to run.
Can you plug in a 240 volt equipment into 110 volt electric socket?
No, it won't get enough power and won't work.
Can you use a 120 volt power bar with 240 volts power supply?
No, but check the specification on the power bar to see what its maximum voltage rating is. There will be a bit of cord end cutting to get the right configuration for 240 volt equipment.
What happends when you use a 6.0 volt adapter on 5.9 volt equipment?
You can expect it to burn out the piece of equipment it's attached to. Maybe not right away, but fast enough.
What is the harmonic factor in a power system?
Two factors reduce the power used by a piece of equipment compared to the volt-amps drawn from the supply: power factor and harmonic factor. Both factors increase the power transmission losses incurred in supplying a given amount of power.The power factor is less than 1 when voltage and current are out of phase with each other.When they are in phase the power equals the volt-amps except for a nonlinear load with a current that is not proportional to voltage. This generates harmonics in the current and the effect is that the power is less than the volt-amps, by an amount equal to the harmonic factor.
Will 120 volt equipment work on a 110 volt transformer?
Yes.
Can 110v circuit power 240v devices?
You need a step-up transformer, to go from 110 to 220-240 volts. Then a 110 volt supply can operate 240 volt equipment.
What happens when 220 volt equipment is plugged into a 110 volt source or if 110 120 volt equipment is plugged into a 60 volt source assuming all alternating current?
temporary it blows or KABOOOMM....
