Ray Kimber started WattGate in 1997, because he was building power cords out of 10-gauge wire and couldn't find a plug that would terminate it properly.
That's a WattGate Evolution on a PK14 Ascent. Most cable companies buy their connectors off the shelf. We design ours.
Behind the plug, 14 AWG pure copper, rated to carry more than a standard 15-amp outlet can deliver. The cord is never the bottleneck. Neutral, virgin dielectric, uncolored and never recycled, so nothing can migrate into the conductor.
PK14 is built for sources. Feeding an amplifier or a subwoofer, you want the heavier gauge of a PK10 Ascent.
Gold or rhodium? Which do you prefer, and why?
