Furukawa power cables

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. 

The argument that huge profits can be made by knocking off the cables in China is exactly the same argument used by real companies to have their products made in China. Companies like Casio (Japanese), Tannoy (UK), Parasound (US) now have Made in China engraved on their products. If I were to sell knock of cables, I’d pick something like say, Nordost, Audioquest or Tara Labs, not one that sounds vaguely like it might be somewhat radioactive.

There are PS Audio AC-12 top of the line cords for $379 here. PS Audio sells them directly for $1200. Are they fake or not?

Assembling a product in china by an actual company e.g. apple, casio, tannoy is different from making  knock offs in someone's basement and selling them as an actual product. 

PS Audio cables on ebay are probably fake. Also, it appears some third party amazon sellers sell fakes as well. I've seen Analysis Plus Pro Oval Power Cable on amazon for 100 bucks. Is this a fake?
