This is the Day
I have 8 pieces of kit in a rack, I was thinking Grahams Hydra but as it's not Naim they don't advise/won't sell me one, plus they are on furlough, which is fair enough.
Currently I'm using an Eaton UPS and 8 UPS cables nicked from work.
Before I buy this, which won't be as tidy as I want cos it will not fit at 19"+ I figured I'd check into DIY.

Looked at making up those fancy mains leads ala Furutech with the straight cabling arrangement but the price of plugs is silly, unless someone knows a source?
Browsing eBay etc the AUS/EU/USA plugs seem way cheaper. Question - if I get an EU Schuko mains block that takes a separate mains cable and feed it with a UK one, am I OK making up 8 EU Schuko - IEC Plug cables. Safety/Earthing issues?
Intention is it slides under the rack on the floor, not much head room hence wanting the cable exit parallel to the floor and making the cables exactly the right lengths will make it look tidy.
Hope the above ramble makes sense.
I could go out and buy an AQ/ISOL-8/ISOTEK block + their Cables but that is an awful lot of bread for some tidy power cabling.
Any other ideas/suggestions for off the shelf or DIY?
Not expecting it to improve the sound - not going near that can of worms, I just want it to look super tidy.
The rest of it will be fine as I am making Klotz/Neutrik cables up of the right length.
Sorted some Van Damme black with BFA's screwed not soldered as per advice from here before.
