Know before you buy
This cable uses 10 AWG pure copper conductors, which are significantly thicker than standard cords. This allows for higher current delivery, ensuring your high-demand components like amplifiers receive stable, consistent power without restriction.
The PowerKord 10 Ascent is designed for high-demand audio and video equipment. You should check your device's power input to confirm whether it requires a standard 15A connection or a 20A (C19) connection, as we offer both configurations.
While both materials offer excellent conductivity and reliability, some listeners find Gold provides a slightly warmer, smoother presentation, while Rhodium is often perceived as offering more detail and a faster, tighter sound. Both are high-performance options within the Wattgate evolution series.
Yes, we offer standard lengths ranging from 1.0m to 2.0m, but you can also request custom lengths in 0.5m increments up to 10m to perfectly suit your system's layout.
Virgin dielectric materials are used to ensure the purity of the conductors is maintained over time. This prevents degradation and signal interference, ensuring the cable performs as reliably years down the road as it does on day one.
