I found a thicker, longer cable that plugs into computer PSUs at goodwill for $1. Being thicker I for some reason assumed it could carry more current. (not that my other cable couldn't: this was just longer and had a convenient elbow end)
My question is, is it bad to use with my EVGA 750G PSU? here's what the cord says on the side...
(UL) SJT E162604 14AWGx3C VW-1 105 [degrees C] Ching Cheng CSA Type LL61597
This is what the stock cable says:
(UL) SVT 75 [degrees celsius] E205765 VW-1 3X.0824mm[squared](18AWG) 300V CSA 211586 Type SVT 60[degrees celsius] 3x0.824mm[squared](18AWG) 300V FT2 Changzou Hongchang
Probably too much info...by the time I finished typing that I saw the goodwill, thicker cable says 15A 125V~ and the stock says 10A 125V~ I also suppose the 18AWG is 18 guage and the 14AWG is 14 gauge, to 14 is bigger and carries more current?
Either way, which cable should I use. the 14 gauge goodwill is longer...is it safe to use?
