Damn. I hate it when that happens. I wonder if they still sell stuff in the UK with no plug on the mains wire?

Oh dear. Terrible thought. Monster makes power cords. I want my laaaaawwwwwwyerrrrrr......!

Update: I just ordered parts from TakeFive. I'll go with the design I've used before. I know it works well with the Woo. There's nothing like a known quantity.

Whilst looking around, I stumbled upon the Quail hospital grade cords. They look like an interesting option for "everything else". They're within a couple bucks of the Volexes. Their hospital grade plug strip looks interesting. It should have good contact pressure receptacles. Hmmm.

Quail is solid (fat, heavy, plugs stay put like crazy, everything to expect from hospital grade) but they do have a minimum order of ~$50. I like their outlet multipliers, if you needed any ideas for filler.

I like quail stuff too

I've got a 15 foot run to a crappy plug strip in my den. That thing just deserves to get replaced on principle. In hospital grade that's got to be at least $25 by itself, so I shouldn't have much problem with the minmum order.

If I fall short, I could a micro-group-buy with somebody who just needs one or two cords.

I like the quails. I use the ones that have bare wires on the IEC end and then just wire it up with a nice IEC connector after cutting to the exact length I need. The outlet plug stays put better than any esoteric cords I have tried, but that is a pretty limited sample.
