The story
Clear Reflection Power brings current Cardas conductor technology to a classic design. Three 11.5 AWG Golden Ratio Litz conductors with PFA insulation form a twisted triad with PE air tubes, bound in PTFE tape and double shielded with tin-plated copper and magnet wire under a super-flexible TPR jacket.
It is terminated with Cardas E-5 connectors with silver/rhodium-plated solid copper contacts, and is the power cable we pair with Clear Reflection and Clear Cygnus systems. Cardas calls the combination a phenomenal value.
Measure from the wall outlet or power strip to the component's IEC inlet along the real path, and round up; a power cord should never hang under tension. Most components use a 15 A IEC C15 inlet. Choose the 20 A C19 end only for amplifiers and power strips with the larger 20 A socket. Cardas supplies a US NEMA 5-15 wall plug as standard; Schuko (EU) and other plugs are available to order.
