That would work for stuff that doesn't move much. I should do that for a lot of my soon to be rewired fixed operating position. But 7 wire stranded THHN is still not rated for normal flexing or vibration. That's the zip cord with fine stranded wire. I think that making the last six inches to a rig connection fine stranded, appropriately heavy zip cord might be best of both worlds.
