Are there some standard black OEM power cords that may have good DTCD performance?
There are only a handful of commodity OEM power cord suppliers. We have more than 20 different models and brands that we have tested with the DTCD Analyzer. These range from 18 gauge models to 12 gauge models with differing connector types depending upon the manufacturer. There is a wide range of DTCD performance results, however none of them outperform a Shunyata Research Venom-3 power cable. Most of them have significant DTCD degradation — however there are a few that have tested quite good. The problem for the consumer is, how do you know which ones are the rare good ones and which are not. They do not come with DTCD index ratings so that you can make an informed choice.
