The stock cable is parallel conductors @ 5.5 feet long. Too short to
reach into the closet in my shack. I bought 10 feet of #6 and the 75 amp
powerpole connectors from Debco for about $22. I did not have the 75 amp
crimp tool and soldered the cable into the connectors.

Only problem, besides price, for the Powerwerx custom cables is that
they don't have twisted pair.... only parallel conductors.

Power Supply Cable Size
Looks like I can order a custom cable from powerwerx.com with 75 amp
power poles and 6g wire (assuming that's the correct size).

The crimp tool is not too expensive so it may be worth buying the tool
and rolling my own. I've used 15,30 and 45 amp PP's for years, just
never had a need for 75 amp PP's so I never purchased the equipment.

What gauge wire is used for the HV line between the power supply and
amp? I'd like to build or source a shorter cable.
Thanks
