Extending 50A Aluminum #6 oven wire

Hi guys,



We have to move a 50A oven outlet down by about 2-3 feet. Currently it would be sitting on the higher end of the counter and to the left of the oven. Is it code for the outlet to be about 7-8 inches above floor level?



I think we have to move it which is why I have done some research on what needs to be done. The current cable has this name printed on it:



"BICCGENERAL -P FLEXILOY (TM) -3 CORS 6 AWG AL 1 COR 6 AWG AL TYPE SE STYLE R TYPE XHHW-2 CORS 600 VOLTS (UL)"



The cable has 4 wires, one of which is exposed ground wire. All the cables appear to be stranded (about 6-8 strands per wire) and are insulated.



I can't find a similar cable so the plan was to use 6-3 NM-B copper wires and connect them using the Polaris IPL4-3 connector. I know the Polaris connector does not support fine stranded flexible cable, but this is not fine stranded.



We haven't selected a range yet, but I can't imagine it would need more than 50A.



Please let me know what you guys think.



Thanks!
