Dick,
Powerwerx is a company that sells Power Poles, but be aware that on Ebay
you might find Power Pole 'copies,' not the originals mad by the
Anderson company.
As for power ratings, yes, there are different power ratings, but the
15, 30 and 45 Amp versions all use the same plastic housing, which means
they will connect with one another. Only the actual metal contactors
are different sizes.
If your K3 is around 3-6 feet from the power supply then the 12 Gauge
wire should be fine. For longer runs, you might want to consider a 10
Gauge cable due to the voltage drop. For some good info on them, go to
the Powerwerx site here:

Hi Guys,
Please advise what options I have for purchasing replacement 12-Volt power supply
cables for the K3 with the power connector already attached. Do groups like DX
Engineering and HRO sell them? Also, does the K3 use Anderson Powerpole connectors
or Powerwerx connectors, or are they the same? I believe both types of connectors
may come in different amperage ratings, so what amperage do I need to mate with the
K3? TNX & 73, Dick- K9OM
