Custom power cable for kemper?

Swatman · May 27, 2018 at 4:14 PM

I have a kemper rack unit and would like to get a shorter cable because I use a power conditioner to power everything in the rack. Is there somewhere that sells that? Trying to keep the cable mess to a minimum

Stores that sell computer networking supplies would likely have a cable. Also, Amazon.com, electronics and pro audio websites.

Is there any specific power cable that I'd need?

Ideally just grab a 1’ cable with a wire size of 14AWG. I bought one with a right angle IEC connector from a local electronics store and it’s perfect for clean cable management.

It does not need to be a Hifi boutique price cable - there is no advantage with a digital device.

It would just need to be a well-constructed cable with the two correct connectors on it.

Just found this thread that may be the correct place to put this question: Is the RF choke in the original IEC cable really really needed?

I know that an RF choke blocks AC current whereas the DC current passes through into the Kemper, but right now I'm using a regular IEC cable with no RF choke and I'm not hearing any more noises, but I suppose it depends on the electrical installation of each venue...

I bought an IEC cord from Amazon or eBay. That was like 2ft long. I get that you are saying with the rack cord Mess. I run my audio cables inputs and outputs into a cat 6 box mounted inside my rack for audio output and input connections.
