Bob and emc-pstc, 

Been watching the discussion on this and 
have to ask these possibly dumb questions: 

You are asking for only 1 connector on this 
power cord.  Not 2.  I.e. a power cord with 
a detachable connector on the product end, 
not the mains end.

(1)     Is that correct? 

If yes, then 

(2)     Is this to provide the customer with the freedom 
        to choose whatever mains side plug they need? 

(3)     Or, will the wire end be permanently attached 
        to the mains? 

Just wondering that if the answer is (2), then I 
can understand the current discussion as to a lack 
of control on the replacement cord used being shielded. 
No argument with this at all. 

But, if the answer is (3), then the power cord will be 
permanently installed to the mains and as such will have 
to be installed by a licensed electrician per installation 
instructions.  Thus, no worry that the next power cord 
will HAVE to be an equivalent shielded power cable 
installed the same way. 

Or am I off on some tangent ...  

Regards,  Doug
