George, I assume you are not a power cord manufacturer. The cords you are speaking about are typically molded-on with a plug and a molded-on connector to mate with appliance inlet. For each country, you will need to supply a cord set which is approved for the country's usage. Therefore, colors do not make a difference since you will be purchasing cord sets with certifications for that countries power system. Why worry about colors? Peter
George Stults <[email protected]> wrote: Hello Group, I have a question regarding the Colors that detachable equipment power cords (type used for ITE equipment, AC Mains 220/110VAC) are available in. I have only ever seen Black and Grey power cords. Is there a regulatory or other practical reason (in USA or Europe or Worldwide) that they could not, or should not, be made for example with Blue, or Yellow, or Red pigmented plastics? (or does someone already manufacture such power cords?) Thanks in advance.
