If you are constructing an extension cord make sure that the cap ends go on the right end of the extension cable. Match the wire cable end when looking at it, to the proper pin configuration of the plug. A non locking plug will be a 6-30P or a locking plug will be a L6-30P. On a 6-30P plug (cap), black wire to the left blade, white wire to the Y terminal and the green wire to the G terminal. On a L6-30P plug, black wire to the X terminal, white wire to the Y terminal and the ground wire to the G terminal.
Looking at the end of the cable it should be matched to this configuration. If it doesn't, look at the other end of the cable. No wires should cross when connecting to the blades on the plug, if they do you have the wrong end of the extension cable and the polarity will be wrong when plugged into a receptacle.

If you look close and it is a moulded plug on the end of the extension cord you will find that the side with the rib is also the same side as the wider blade on the plug. This corresponds to the wide blade hole in the receptacle which is also the neutral side of the receptacle.
