Looking for a reasonably priced 20A power cord


I've decided to purchased a Niagara 5000 unit to power my system and I need a power cord for it, it doesn't come with one. The unit will be 20 inches from the wall socket so I don't need a long power cord. I'm looking for a reasonable 20A power cord, something of good quality. 

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the information, Erik. I’m looking for an off the shelf solution.

I live in a small apartment, the rack is not going to move, it will stay 20 inches from the wall which had two dedicated 20A circuits, and the Niagara 5000 will be put standing up on its side against the rack. So, I don’t need a long power cord.
Well, I had decided to fork over the money for a 1m, Nordost Heimdall 2 with a 20A connector, and put the order in a couple of days ago, only to be told today by the dealer that Nordost won’t make that cable for me. Gee, thanks Nordost, my money is not green enough or I’m not spending enough, I guess.

I was hoping for a silver cable. Any other possibilities? My audio guru likes silver cable with gold contacts but I think that’s way above my price range.
Good point, auxinput.

My latest effort is to buy a custom cable from Cullen, this one:

which is 10awg and have Patrick Cullen install gold plated connectors on it for me. I’ve asked, I’ll see if he’ll do it.

Yes, this cable feeds the whole system, including the mighty Gryphon Colosseum stereo amp. I might upgrade the Gryphon’s power cable as well, It is currently a 12awg hospital grade cord.
Update: Patrick Cullen is willing to build me custom cables with the Sonarquest carbon gold connectors so I’m going that route. It’s going to take a little while but, hopefully, it should be worth it. I can run with the stock power cords for a while, after I get the Niagara 5000 next week. I ordered a cheap 20A cord from Amazon.
