Let's talk power cords


Does a upgrade really make a difference over a stock cord?

There ARE solid core aftermarket power cords available commercially.
Yes- I'm sure there are. But they don't meet OSHA regulations.
Has anyone been able to explain why power cable would make a difference?
Yes. See the first page of this thread.

OSHA?
Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Between them and UL and also national electrical codes, essentially solid core power cords are illegal. So if one makes a fire, electrical hazard or any such, it won't be covered by homeowner's or renter's insurance.
