WTD: A bit of mains wire

[Covenant]

I have a silver plated plug and kettle connector but need a short length of decent shielded mains cable. Dont need anything fancy. 600mm-1m would do fine, scruffy is ok with me :)
Willing to pay postage and a bit extra.

A huge thank you to David Brook (Mains Cables R Us) for sending me a length of Supra Lo-Rad 2.5mm mains cable FOC.:D Not only that he sent an audio-tune up disc.:eyebrows:
What a great firm, many thanks. :cool:

I have used Supra Lo-Rad and IMO it is pretty good.

Is it right that the shielding (silver foil stuff) should be connected to earth at the mains plug end only?

[MCRU]

NO
The lo-rad has a semi-transparent earth which induces the faraday cage effect without connecting the foil.

Cheers David, I am glad I asked.

New cable now complete. So for anyone making a cable, check you have the right IEC plug for the cable. The thicker cables will not fit in the standard IEC, you need the Wattgate type. In my case I got an Isokinetic one.
It's much easier to just order a complete cable from Mains Cables R Us!
