Analysis Plus Power Oval Ten Power Cable - 10 Foot

Power Oval Ten Handles High Current and Delicate Signals Alike

A power cable carries the last few feet of AC from the wall into a component. It can't add power a component doesn't draw, but a poorly shielded one lets noise ride in on that current.

Analysis Plus builds Power Oval Ten from 10AWG, 600-volt CL2 UL-approved cable. The company calls it the best choice for high-current applications, while saying it performs equally well with low-current analog and digital equipment.

10AWG, 600-Volt, UL-Approved Cable

Analysis Plus specifies 10AWG conductors rated to 600 volts, built to CL2 UL-approved standards for in-wall and equipment-rack use. That gauge and voltage rating give Power Oval Ten the headroom for demanding amplifiers without over-building a cable meant for lighter-draw gear.

One Cable for High and Low Current Alike

Analysis Plus says Power Oval Ten is the best choice for high-current applications, and that it performs equally well with low-current analog and digital equipment, a versatility the company builds into the conductor and shield geometry rather than into separate product lines for each use.

The Connectors, Explained

Power Oval Ten terminates in WattGate 320 IEC and WattGate 5266 connectors, which plug into the inlet on your amplifier, DAC or other component, and a standard NEMA 5-15 three-prong plug for the US wall outlet at the wall end.

Who Is This Power Cable Best For?

• You want one cable that works equally well on high-current and low-current gear — Analysis Plus built Power Oval Ten for exactly that dual role
• You are feeding a power amplifier or another high-draw component — the 10AWG, 600-volt conductor is rated for that demand
• Your budget calls for WattGate connectors without the shield upgrade in Power Oval 2 — WattGate 320 and 5266 connectors are standard on Power Oval Ten
• You want a UL-approved, CL2-rated cable for a mixed system — that certification is built into the base construction
• You want the newer braided shield design Analysis Plus built into Power Oval 2 — Analysis Plus Power Oval 2 carries that upgraded shield

How Does It Connect to Your System?

Plug the WattGate end into the IEC inlet on the back of your amplifier, DAC or other component, and the male end into a wall outlet or power conditioner outlet.

Then power up the system as usual. Other and longer lengths available. Call for prices.

Pairs Well With

A power cable is one link in the chain from the wall to your gear. It usually joins these categories.

• Power Conditioners — filter the whole circuit; the cable feeds the last few feet after it
• Integrated Amplifiers — the high-current load most power cables are built to feed
• Stereo Amplifiers — another high-current destination for the heavier gauges in this range
• Digital-to-Analog Converters — a low-current source component that still benefits from clean, quiet AC

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does shielding matter on an AC cable?

Analysis Plus builds its power cables to keep radio-frequency and electromagnetic noise from riding in on the AC line and reaching sensitive circuits. A ground wire without that shielding can act like an antenna, pulling in exactly the noise a power cable is supposed to keep out.

Do power cables wear out?

Every metal conductor oxidizes over time; it is unavoidable chemistry, not a defect. What varies is the rate. Denser, better-shielded conductors with quality plating oxidize far more slowly, so a well-made cable performs the same way for years instead of drifting.

Will this affect my system's ground safety?

No change to your safety ground. Every cable in this line keeps the full three-conductor path, hot, neutral and ground, exactly as building code requires. What differs from a stock cord is conductor quality and shielding, not the wiring topology.

Is there a step up?

Analysis Plus Power Oval 2 is the next rung, and the top of the line we carry. It moves to a 10-gauge conductor with a new braided shield design and can be terminated with a 20-amp IEC connector.
