Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ?

I would like to try a 2nd hand solid core power cord under 300$

What are my options?

I know following manufacturers:

Audioquest (Copper)
Cabledyne (Silver)
Nordost (Silver plated copper)

DIY is also an option for me.
(my devices draw 15 watts only (1 streamer, 2 mono blocks ))

A 22AWG neotech hook up wire is rated 600V and 5.4 Ampere. Its not rocketsience. I dont see why a 22 AWG wire should not be sufficient for 240V and 1 Ampere. I know its not rated, but as i am an expat who lives in 3rd world countries I dont have to worry...

"The Cabledyne synergy power cord doesn't."

Yes it does.  The site description again refers to the sheath which is not connected to earth ground.

I contacted the manufacturer who confirmed that it is a 3 wire design. He has clarified this on the site.

Has nothing to with the current. It has to do with the insulation breaking down under the 230V higher voltage.

Are electrical fires different in Austria than in the rest of the world?

I thought about DIY too - a CAT7 ethernet cable with 8 22AWG OFC solid core conductors, shielded. They are arranged in 4x 2 twisted pairs.
DON'T DO IT! You could burn your house down.

True, my bad

Thank you for the warning!
What makes the insulation withstand 230 Volt? the thickness?
For clarification: Austria is not a 3rd world country, and I dont live there currently.
