Short IEC cables

[Alistair]

After a bunch of short (30-60cm) IEC cables for a rack I'm putting together. Does anyone have any good links? The cheapest I've found them in Aus is about $10 each, but on some US sites they are at 79cents each! Obviously different plugs otherwise I'd have bought a stack of them. Just thought I'd do a quick check before I blew a few hundred on cables....

You can get IEC cables with no plug top from most electronics suppliers, cut them to your specific lengths then fit them with a plug top.

Beware of cheapo IEC cables....most of them are hanging on by 2 or 3 hair sized copper strands...

Thanks Nick. I was trying to avoid soldering as I've already done a few hundred connections in the past 48 hours, but I guess if you want it done right you've gotta do it yourself!

The plug tops have little screws that secure the cable... No soldering

Hi David,

Thanks for that. Looking for even shorter though- the back of the rack is more than messy enough. Thanks though!
