I think that is a valid question, and one that should be taken into account when someone buys any electrical product. Underwriters Laboratories provides certification for cables under 70 different categories according to their website.
UL: General Wire & Cable FAQ
Do these cables even meet NEC code?
With a ten times markup over cost (or more) cable manufacturers can certainly afford getting their products safety tested for crying out loud. I've googled up this info in ten minutes. Has anyone at Virtual Dynamics taken ten minutes out of their valuable time to insure the safety of their customers? It's one thing for a battery operated Cmoy amp. It's something entirely different for a power cable that stays plugged in to your wall socket 24/7.
See ya
