New Power Cable to consider--IeGO Power Cable
Here is a link to a new cable that is just coming into production. Cost is 65$ or 95$ depending on which plug you get with a 1.5 meter length, US plugs only.
Check it out.
IeGO Power Cable, now ready to ship!!! Check first post for info.
Review:
Impressions of the new IeGO PC by a board member
"What's more interesting is that the copper used is sourced from Furukawa (yes, that really expensive Furukawa), their 1020 Copper/Rose copper is rated at 4N purity. It is then alloyed with 0.1% of gold before it is made into wire (all the copper in the cabling have been alloyed with gold) and use OCC casting process with diamond drawing die to create it. The silver plated copper additionally receive between 120um to 240um of pure silver plating (plating thickness depends on wire gauge).
It is then cryo processed in liquid nitrogen for 22 hours @ -240C/-400F to relieve all internal stress, and then bundled up to make the wire you see above."

Those actually look like a very good value (aside from the slightly painful shipping cost). I didn't see it in the post, but do you happen to know what gauge the wires are?

Hello, the cable is rated to take 15Amps at either 110V or 240V (or anything that's below 240V), as for the exact gauge, I'll need to check with the manufacturer to know for sure.

Thanks Maniac, also check to see what the dielectric is if you can (ie: polyvinyl-chloride / polyethylene / teflon etc.)

Actually it is a mixture of different dielectrics.
The outer layer is high quality DuPont PVC, which is soft and easy to handle. the actual metal itself are insulated (some strand by strand) via a PVC jacket over each assembly, then some strands are insulated individually via teflon and voids in the braid are stuffed with cotten stuffings.
If you take a look at the dissected view, you can see some strands' insulation are white with a bit of translucent feel. That's teflon, and the white strands of fabric are cotten.

Here's some photos of the 8055CT connector and the whole cable. Better to show the copper and how flexible this cable is.
click on photos for the really big ones, the item is actually quite clean, but the darn flash on the camera is picking up every little speck of dust.
I've just taken these two photos and was about to use them for the auction page, but I guess I'm a bit worn out here and will leave that for later I guess.
Enjoy...

Hey maniac, is the cable available by the foot with no connectors? I'd be interested in picking up about 3 or 4m.

I'm sorry that we currently only have the pre-made ones, at the moment we are not setup to sell by cut-to-length method.

That's the IEC end.
For plug types:
Domestic AC power plugs and sockets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia have some in depth info, basically an american style two prong (unearthed) plug is type A, if you add an earth pin, it is now called type B.
