Rocketfish™ - 8 ft. Non-Polarized Braided Power Cord - Black

I bought this non polarized power cable for my sons Xbox Series X. It works perfectly. Has 8ft of length. If i didn't know better I'd think it came with the console.

Needed a new power cord for my Sony subwoofer. Managed to accidentally nick the original cord when the vacuum pulled it in and exposed part of the wires. Easily ordered this upgraded cord from Best Buy. Now I'm taking a minute to leave a review since there wasn't any when I got mine. Know that this new cord from Rocketfish comes in polarized and non-polarized, I needed the non-polarized (cord end is equally rounded on both sides) which is the more common version in my house. This cord is substantially better than the original. At 8ft in length, it is at least as thick a gauge cable (18 gauge) as the original and as a bonus, it's wrapped in a fabric that adds a nice texture. Similar to a shoelace welded on or into the cord itself. I plugged it in and it works as good as the original cord. When plugged in, it holds tight and does not feel loose. Cord is a little stiff, but bendable and can lay flat. Cord is also more flat than round. Even if you don't need one right away, these are good to have on hand as so many tech companies use these to power so many various devices. Having a spare ready just in case, like me, you ruin one accidentally might be worth it when things go on sale. So far, great cord with nothing to complain about. Just works. Make sure to check your cord before ordering as there are 2 common versions of this cable.

It's a universal power cable. What else is there to say? You can use it to power just about any PlayStation console, from the original to the PS5 Pro. There's probably other use cases, but that's the one I'm most familiar with. Admittedly, this one is lovely. It's got a flat, braided cable. It's not going to get shredded or frayed or destroyed very easily, and you can do some solid cable management, thanks to it being slim. It's also 8 feet long, so if your plug is far away from the device of your choice, you should be able to work something out. The wall plug itself has a kind of rounded shape, rather than a blocky one, so it's got a distinct look when it's in the wall. Probably not the best conversation starter or anything, but if you care about aesthetic of your plugs, this is certainly an option. Aside from that, there's not much to be said. It delivers power from the wall to my PS3 and PS4 without issue. There wasn't anything cool in the package (aside form the cable itself), there wasn't an instruction manual. Just a cable in a box. Not that it should really need any instructions, anyway. I imagine this will be a long lasting cable. Would recommend if you want something high quality.

Rocketfish made a nice quality power cord. My first time really getting a replacement cord for a game system. Hard to believe since I’ve been gaming for over 30 years. This is to replace the power cord for my PS5 since the OG cord is only 5’ long. Also, I think Braided cords are so much better. Still confused why in this day and age all manufacturers are not making braided cords. Well, not really confused I’m sure it’s cheaper that way. This Rocketfish cable is 8’ long , 18 ga, and braided with a 7amp rating. Very sturdy and gives me the distance I was looking for with my TV to move it where I wanted it. That 3’ difference, make a HUGE difference. Being braided also offers more flexibility to manuever the cable where you need it. No issues with bending or anything. Works great so far and I do not forsee any issues. Even if I wasn’t looking for something longer I would still advise getting this as an ugrade to the original OEM parts is never a bad thing…if it is indeed an ugrade like this is. Yes I recommend this product!

OK, where to start for a 1000 charecter review for an non-polarized power cord? Well, let's start with the brand, Rocketfish. Rocketfish is a brand owned by Best Buy. Much like Insignia and Best Buy Essentials that offer quality products at competetive pricing, Rocketfish aims for a more premium product, but is still competitively priced. This product fits that sweet-spot perfectly. It has a great quality build, and premium feel, yet priced to be easily adpted to any budget. As for the power cord itself, both ends (wall plug and female device plug), feel high quality, and substaantial. The cord itself, is braided (as more premium cords tend to be), and has an upper-end look and feel. The power cord is eight feet long, so more than your typical off-the-shelf competitors. It is made with 18 gauge (AWG) copper, so that is certainy suitable to move the power safely and freeley. It's engineered for 7 amps at 125 volts, so applicable everything from portable speakers, TV's, and even many small appliances. End of the day, this is a great choice, and compliant most any budget, all while providing a more premium feel than others.
