Ironically the guy Camadeco is recommending makes his cords with the Belden #19364 cordage I am referring to. These cords are very easy to make. There are several places on line and maybe even near you that sells the Belden #19364 cordage by the foot. Try www.mouser.com. You then need a female IEC conenctor and a AC plug, preferrably a spec grade or hospital grade plug. All connections are made via screw terminals for the stripped wire ends (hot, neutral and ground), no soldering, although you can choose to solder if you wish. That's it. You can add a nice nylon jacket and some heat shrink if you want to get fancy. An AC plug will run you about $8 on up, the IEC about $5 and the Belden cord by the foot is something like a couple bucks a foot if I remember right but don't hold me to that. These cords are excellent. Don't know much about cryogenically treated cords but in general it is the shield and larger conductors that make better cords better than stock cords. That's the basics, power cord design gets more complex beyond that to achieve better performance.
