ossyrocks Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Every IEC mains cable I have is as stiff as a board, doesn't uncoil, and lies kinked and spiraling from the amp to the socket. Where can I get some nice slinky flexible ones from? First world problems! Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 And if anyone knows where I can get one there the pins fold in like this https://www.apple.com/sg/shop/product/MHJF3ZP/A/20w-usb-c-power-adapter please also chip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK Jale Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 The H07F cable Bigguy links to above is 3 x 2.5mm which sounds more than a touch hefty to me. I have a trailing mains cable in the same stuff but 3 x 1.5mm and while it's great for the job I'd want something more flexible in an IEC cable. Custom Lynx use H07F but in a 3 x 1mm and my guess is it'll be pretty good.

I've been looking (for time) for a flexible mains lead with angled head for the back of the QSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyb625 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 You could make one up yourself for not much money, although if I'm ever feeling lazy, I'll usually go to CPC. 1mm cable will do you for up to 10 amps (there may be a smaller fuse in the plug) Here's one: https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/pe01085/lead-uk-5a-to-iec-socket-c13-blk/dp/PL13278 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossyrocks Posted April 9, 2023 Author Share Posted April 9, 2023 There are some great suggestions here, thanks all. I went to custom-lynx and ended up ordering quite a bit of stuff! Damn internet shopping! Cheers, Rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Late to the party but i went to Kenable for the same reason. My 2 x PA cab mains leads were stiff as a local councillor, and i needed 6 metres x 2. The Kenable cables that turned up were fabulous and cheaper than Lynx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 They're not Chinese cables. It's Kenable's own production line, so spec is per Kenable's requirement. They're just built by the Chinese labour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
