They are blue with the white stripe and the clear blue plugs at the ends that allow you to see the inside connections.
I thought they were supposed to be 20A and I wasn't thinking Diamondback.
I am new at cables and trying to learn about the Shunyatas.
Are Venoms, Diamondbacks?
Why would they be 15A?
I was expecting 20A.
I don't see any mention of Diamondbacks or Venom 15A, on the Shunyata sight, that appear to be Venoms.
Thank you.

What you have is a Shunyata Venom 3 power cord. The Diamondback, which is a model that just preceded the Venom 3, had a clear jacket with a silver-colored shielding underneath.
This is a Shunyata Diamondback cord:
They both use the same clear molded plugs, so your cord's molded plug may have Diamondback printed on it, but if is blue with a white stripe it is a Venom cord.
If it is a 15 amp cord, the "slots" at component end will be vertical, if is 20 amp, the slots will be horizontal at the component end.
