Hi,

I am looking for a Figure 8 / C7 power cable that has right angles on both sides, the shorter the better.

I found this one.

However, the shop is in Sydney and charges a hefty $15 for shipping.

Does anyone know whether there is a shop in Melbourne that specializes in all sorts of cables?

Thanks.

  3m, but like this?

  Also 1.8m at Jaycar

  Alternatively, use an adapter?

    Thanks, the adapter seems like a good idea!

  Radio parts or jaycar would probably have what you need.

  Am I missing something, isn't that one you linked right angle on one side?

  • 

    sloda on 08/09/2022 - 10:50

    Oh no, you are right!
    The cable I linked to is angled on one side only :D
    Might just go with a straight end on the C7 side of the cable or buy a right angled adapter for this.

  Thank you all for your helpful replies!

  You mentioned a few shops that are easy enough for me to access in Melbourne that I haven't heard of before.

  Not sure where in Melbourne you are, but if Jaycar doesn't work, Selby has shops in Hallam and Thornbury.

  Also, it won't work for you on length grounds and the angle of the socket, but putting a shout out for the $10 Ikea SYMFONISK speaker cable: it is 3.5m long, braided, well constructed and has a 90° C7 plug and a straight Australian 240v plug. With choices in black and white, IMHO its the best affordable C7 on the market. No idea if the speaker is any good, but the cable is a great pair with multi-USB chargers, and equipment in small cabinets.
