Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

An 8-foot two-conductor AC power cable for gear that takes a removable power cord. Replacement or longer-reach cable, nothing more.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a lost or damaged stock power cord
  • Reaching a wall outlet a few feet farther away
  • Keeping a spare in a gig bag or rack

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Gear with a three-prong grounded inlet
  • Anyone chasing hum fixes that need a ground path
  • Instrument, speaker, or signal connections of any kind

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

2-conductor

Hot and neutral only, no ground pin. It only fits gear designed for an ungrounded two-prong inlet.

Detail 02

8 ft length

Enough to get from a pedalboard, keyboard, or amp to a wall outlet without a separate extension cord.

Detail 03

Power cable, not signal

Carries AC to the device. Run it away from audio cables to keep hum out of your signal path.

Detail 04

Black jacket

Disappears on a dark stage and behind racks, but harder to spot when you are tearing down.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Check your gear's inlet: two-prong style only, a grounded inlet will not accept this
  2. 02No power strip, adapter, or surge protection included
  3. 03Confirm the plug shape on your device before ordering a replacement

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this work on my amp with a three-prong power socket?

No. This is a two-conductor cable with no ground. It fits gear built around an ungrounded two-prong inlet only.

02How long is it?

Eight feet, which usually covers a stage position to the nearest outlet without an extension cord.

03Can I use this to connect a speaker?

No. This carries AC power to a device. Speakers need speaker cable, and instruments need instrument cable.

04Is this a surge protector?

No. It is a plain power cable. Plug it into a surge strip if you want protection.
