I am wondering how anyone on this list can exist
without assort
colours/sizes of wire, and standard 'loose' cable around them. You
shouldn't have to cut up an IEC lead to get some wire...
No, but it might be the easiest and cheapest way to go about getting
a bare-leads power cord. I've got tons and tons of IEC cables; they
just keep accumulating. On the other hand, I have relatively few
high-quality (e.g. neoprene jacket) leaded power cables and I reserve
those for permanent installations.
But whacking the end off of an iEC cable for a jury rig? Sure,
without even a second thought. They're like wire coat hangers and
safety pins--they breed in the dark.
Cheers,
Chuck
