Right angle wall plug on power cables

You can’t answer the man MC he wants answer from engineers not people that know WHERE and WHY they were made or needed.

After all he’s a DOCTOR.

Because I like MC, I’ll add, it's the WEIGHT and the type of load the plug usually caries.

Look where they are used.

1. They are used in places that have limited access or NEED to stay plugged in.

2. They are used on appliances that pull heavy start up loads and that need GOOD contact over time.

A right angle plug works great on refer, freezer, wall AC, and the like.

The plug is designed to remove the leverage/strain from the WALL socket/receptacle.

But then every time my life has been saved it has been by a lowly NURSE after a DOCTOR usually missed it..

Thank GOD for my heart Doctor though.. Though it did take TWICE to get the stint in the right place after 15 more heart attacks..

Nurse caught that too.. MC remembers. :-)

Regards

Never needed one.Good luck.

In theory it might be useful to have power cord plugs that did a ninety degree turn to the left, to the right, and down (towards the floor).  So three variants on the standard model.  If companies as big as Audioquest aren't doing that, nobody will.  (Market economics.)

All wall plugs in the UK have the cord coming out pointing towards the ground... it's just a safety device so that you don't pull the plugs out by using the cord. I've just realised that very few people in the US will have had the experience of accidentally treading on an upturned plug barefoot... it is a unique moment of agony followed by three nasty little bruises coming up on the sole of your foot.
Can't imagine the design has any impact on audio quality at all.

There is one, Furutech FI-12ML.
Believe you can order your cable with that plug fitted.
