Furukawa power cables

"Curious as to why “made in Japan" cables ship predominately from China and Hong Kong?"

Possibly they are counterfeits. I know Furutech advises against purchasing “Furutech” labeled product that ships from China or Hong Kong.

Fukushima was the site of the nuclear disaster. Close. Very close. For the purposes of staying on topic I used to have a white power cord that was surplus from a commercial aircraft comm section. Sounded quite good. 

There are many fakes in eBay, especially from China.

Why would anybody fake an inexpensive cable? I.e., industrial cable.

Spoke to my dealer. He said those are probably fake if shipping from china. He also advised that there many fakes including PS audio power cables, shipped and sold by US sellers on eBay. Even relatively cheap cables 50-90$ would still bring a massive profit margin on cables that may cost less than a dollar to make in China.
