Greg.......Take a good look at the male and female cord connectors on my two meter Wireworld Silver Electra power cable. The reason I ask you to do so is because I once ordered a one meter Wireworld Silver Electra power cord, and wound up returning it. The female cord connector on the one meter power cable was just like the one in this photo, but the male cord connector was a Leviton, and the Silver Electra power cord was split and haphazardly stuffed through a round hole on the cord connector with a big crease in the cable at the point of entry into the male connector. I was not pleased at all to see this. It looked substandard, and jury rigged. It was immediately replace with a two meter power cord, which arrived terminated properly with the Wireworld branded male connector that was designed to accept the flat Silver Electra cable. This may have been some early production runs of one meter Silver Electra power cable, and hopefully this flaw, at least in my opinion, has been addressed. I cannot say for sure. At the time I was told that is how Wireworld terminates their one meter cables. It didn't make sense to me, since every other Wireworld power cable I saw in any of their literature was terminated using the Wireworld connectors as seen on my two meter cables.

What surprised me today was to notice the two 14" Wireworld power cables that hkval listed for sale were both terminated with the Leviton male cord connector on one end, and the Wireworld female cord connector on the other. Notice how the cable is crimped so that it could be stuffed through a round hole in the connector. Rectangle shaped cable doesn't fit in round holes worth a damn. That's why I am pointing this out to you in advance of your ordering one meter cables, and why I posted a copy of Howard's photo for you to view. You may wish to inquire about this before ordering one meter lengths. Then again, maybe that cord connector arrangement may not bother you, but it certainly did me. At Wireworld's price points I don't want any part of my cable to appear as thought it was just scabbed on. I want a clean finished product in every way. View this post as a heads up.
