Do good power cords have to be stiff?


As far as I am concerned, stiff power cables are a pain in the butt. Wonder if anyone has found a great power cable that is very flexible?

     It’s amazing to me: they were able to configure two 9 AWG conductors, plus an 8 AWG ground, in a 3/8" diameter PC, that’s even more flexible than the typical, stock IEC cord.

Well if you want stiff, I've got two 6" wide Passion Masters by DCCA that will pass a ton of current for sale. No Viagra needed.😁

 

I see no issue with the Puritans as the actual amperage most of us would draw is pretty low and I think the one I have is pretty darned good. I am using Verastarrs presently and will experiment some more with the Puritan.

12G or 14G should suffice for most: 15A outlets have 14G single strand copper, whereas 20A outlets have 12G single strand copper providing power to the outlets. That’s your bottleneck: having 10G power cable feeding from a 14G wire shouldn’t do anymore that a 14G power cable.
