Short power cables?

[JoeBannon]

Anyone know where I can get 1 and 2 foot power cables? My rack has gotten to be a mess and I want to clean it up a bit.

Make them!...Go to the hardware store and pick up some "stuff" and make your own. It's super easy...really .

Just go to Wal-Mart and get some cable ties. They got the one use plastic ones as well as the sticky resealable style. Save your money for something more important.

That's what I do now, but it's still a mess. BTW, most power cables are just a buck. I just need to find some short ones.

I bought a bunch of 3-prong replacement plugs at a hardware store, then trimmed the power cords to the length I wanted and, referring to a book on electrical wiring, made sure I hooked up the wires correctly in each plug (it helps to be paranoid about this). Now I have a rack that's not quite the mare's nest it used to be.

I should mention that each of my racks has a rack-mount power strip (Furman).

I saw someone selling these on eBay not too long ago. Maybe you'll want to check there.
