Best DIY power cable. Why not make?


Ok perhaps I don't get it.  You have hot, neutral, ground and connectors.  I am looking for advise from those that have found the secret sauce in making power cables or at least those that have had great success.  With all the quality cable and connectors why not make your own?  I refuse to pay $2,000 plus for a power cable that would take a hour to build.  I am seeking your guidance and suggestions.  Thanks!

The Carbon Fiber sleeves are intended to cover the entire Cable length but not the plug or connector. Select the diameter and length to suit your cable or power cord and slip it over the existing jacket. Voila! Seal both ends with electrical tape. The Carbon Fiber sleeves are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves and fields and act as RFI/EMI shields. Carbon fiber is conductive so keep that in mind when using. You certainly don’t want any dangling fibers floating around. Carbon fiber shield by reflecting rf so I doubt there could be interference. Besides the plug and connectors aren’t covered with carbon fiber. Problem solved. Carbon fiber sheets are also available for draping over equipment, providing additional shielding.
I’m a little bit surprised there’s been no mention of carbon fiber sleeves on cables and power cords on a DIY cable thread. What’s up with that?
