Re: Slightly OT (Passthrough power cable IEC)



I bought some of these - (from Maplin a while back) - and they split
into 3 rather than 2.  Anyone know where I can get any more as they are
most useful (should of bought more) ? They are made by 'King Cord' but
their TW site doesn't seem to have them now either.

Also someone told me you could get a 13A plug that had 4 attached IEC
leads moulded into it , anyone seen these anywhere ? Even  3 would
do...  I have found a wire it yourself 13A plug shell that does this but
it's a heck of a faff to have to wire them up.
