AC power cables that are not rigid?

Recently moved and am re-setting up my system.  All of my AC power cables are Shunyata of various models and ages.  The problem is that most of them are rigid as heck, creating a routing problem in my new set up.  A couple are black, softer rubber that has some flexibility, or ability to coil to keep organized.  But even those are rather large in diameter, making it difficult and messy.  Not to mention the problem keeping the AC cables away from my audio interconnects.  My situation is made worse as my set up at the old place needed longer AC cables, while my new place needs shorter ones, so I have “extra” lengths to deal with.
 

So can anyone recommend a brand or model of AC cable that is very flexible and easy to route behind my equipment?  The current Shunyata were not the real expensive ones- I bought some new and some used, ranging from $250-$750 each, and would like to stay in the same price range used or new.

Thanks! Bill

Check out Audience.  I have 4 of there F3 power cables.  They’re always onsale somewhere.  I bought mine for $125-$150 apiece.  The next step up is the f5 and it is also in your price range.  You might want to look at the Studio One PC. Good quality and very flexible.

Audience also has several other lines that can get expensive. 

All the best.

Less Loss are quite flexible. The lower tier ones are in the $500 price range. 

I bought them way back when C-Marc  was the only one they offered and they are quite nice. TBH, I don't think PC make a huge difference once you get to a high quality build, so I would likely buy the Prime if I were buying today, instead of the Classic, which I own.

Puritan Classic Plus are shielded and very slightly more expensive than the Classic models. Available with C13 or C19 IEC connectors. Super value.
