I found the black power cable underneath the bean-bag, in my bedroom, as it was effectively second hand, it was not packaged, or bagged. On the journey from my bedroom to the downstairs study, I ran the risk of damaging them, I was scared. Ask my mum about the stain removal troubles.
The cable itself when fully stretched out is 160cm, a good length.
When previously buying power cables, I found that sometimes the rubber boots at the end slipped around a bit, this lead to me being electrocuted a few times before I had the sense to remember not to touch live, bare wires. After looking at the new cable I thought I would have the same problem. However I was proved very wrong. The rubber boot at the end of the cable is much tighter and hardly moves at all, which gives it an advantage over Rawson's cable that I had before.
The ends of the cables are shape co-ordinated, rather like the shape sorter game I used to have when I was two years of age. You know the one, where you fit the square shape into the square hole, and the circle into the circle hole, etc. I found it easy then, and I was definitely laughing this time as I confidently wedged the right ends into the right holes. Aiiiiiiiiiiii!
Behind my computer is a jumble of wires, I hoped that by simply replacing one wire with another I would tidy it all up.
I was shocked to find out that it didn't make any difference! But I'm sure if i squint a little bit, and turn my head to the side, it is kind of different.
The routing of the cables was very easy but part of the cable required a lot of bending to get it to go past
Due to the way I had carried the cable down from my bedroom, it had been bent slightly, if this happens to you, don't worry! Cables are meant to be flexible, and go round acute corners! However if you find you don't like kinks in your cable, rub back to shape.
