Kimber Kable's new PowerKords use UL listed parts to "offer a higher level of safety and performance".
The new PK-14 ($150) and PK-10 series utilize a special copper optimized for 120 volt AC wall voltage, as well as a special conductor dielectric that eschews color doping to "permit an uninhibited flow of current and voltage". Terminated with Wattgate power connectors, the new Kimber PowerKords are said to be ultra quiet cables with unlimited dynamics, toe tapping rhythmic articulation and exceptional low-level resolution. The standard PK-14 and PK-10 are outfitted with the Wattgate 320 Economy IEC and the Marinco US wall plug. The GOLD versions ($350) are terminated with the WATTGATE Audio Grade 350 IEC and 330 US wall plug. Kimber Kable has also developed what they call a special SWR (standing wave ratio) correction technology to dampen standing wave reflections. When added to the new line of PowerKords in the form of a molded, metallic damping device attached in the middle of the cord where the first standing wave occurs, these Palladian designated models (ca. $1,000 depending on length) are claimed to offer unmatched clarity, silence and freedom from grain.

PowerSnakes by Shunyata Research has introduced its new Mojave ($550, seen right) and Python ($998) power cords that are said to be based on a new, patent-pending technology. The Python combines this technology with the firm's trademarked three-step silver/rhodium Venom connectors, the FeSi 1000 granular RFI/EMI coupling compound and hermetically-sealed tube construction. Two ultra-purity CDA-101 certified copper and one high purity silver conductor make up the internal wiring of the Python. The Mojave features the same basic geometry but substitutes the FeSi sleeve with a copper foil shield.
