Power Oval 2 MKII Power Cable, 6ft

Description

When people design power cords they use massive cable to reduce the noise voltage on the cable. The noise voltage that occurs on the cable is related to L (inductance) and di/dt (the rate of change in the current). You can reduce L by using larger gauge wire but you don’t get much bang for your buck because it is a log function. What this means is that as you keep increasing the gauge of the wire you do not get much improvement for your effort. This is why you see people using very heavy and stiff wires in power cords. Analysis Plus use computer simulation to optimize the design of a power distribution system. What they discovered is that their patented hollow oval design provides a low L cable without having to use stiff and bulky cables.

These cables have a super low noise voltage to reduce the background noise to a minimum. This is extremely important during quiet passages, if you want to hear subtle details (this is very important for classical music fans and for other lovers of live music).The other thing people don’t realize about low frequency noise is that the thin aluminum shield found on many power cords does nothing to reduce this problem. The best way to reduce low frequency noise on cables is to reduce loop area. From computer simulation and measurements, the patented hollow oval cables does a great job at this. For higher frequencies the silver-plated copper braided shield does a great job. An open braid design works much like the window on your microwave oven. You can see through the window but the radiation stays where it belongs.

Terminated with WattGate connectors, this power cable is engineered to deliver your audio/video components the clean power they deserve. Can be terminated with 20 amp IEC instead of 15 amp.
