Long(too) captive A/C cords


Looking for some good ideas on how to manage a very long set of captive AC cords, In the past , pushed them  under my stereo rack and put cardas blocks  under them Just to get them off the carpet.... still so bulky

Hey OP,

I agree that if they really are too long and you are sure you’ll never need the length cutting them yourself is a good idea.  Depending on the angle you need I use Leviton hospital grade plugs when connecting to a wall socket.  The extra thick prongs help maximize gripping force and the 90 degree angle minimizes the necessary floor space.  Otherwise if you need them to go in straight I recommend these.  The only tool you really need is a screwdriver and wire stripper.   Just make sure you get the wires right.  The hot(black) is the small tab, the white(neutral) is the large one and the green is the center.
