Questions About Bulk Power Cable, Sugestions Needed


I am building a 40 foot power cable with Furutech Male ac and female IEC connectors. I want to get out as cheap as possible and so far have found the Cardas 10X3 Bulk Cable at around 16.29 per foot, but it is solid core. It is 10 gauge which I prefer but that means having to solder the wire to the Furutech connectors. Does anyone know of a cheaper alternative to this cable as 40 feet adds up to 600.00 alone in wire! I am looking for suggestions but not interested in Romex or other industrial type wire. I prefer something similar but stranded by another manufacturer, perhaps someone less known? Also not interested in silver wire and I prefer 10 gauge.

Can someone chime in?

Not sure why you would want a 40-foot long power cord.  If you are able to make changes/improvements to where you are living, I would recommend having an electrician run  a new 20A dedicated line (10awg Romex) directly from the electric panel or install a sub-panel and then new outlets near where you want to power your system.
