Notes & Compatibility
Wall end is a country-specific mains plug (EU Schuko, UK BS1363, US NEMA 5-15) — not modeled as a separate connector type. For most studio monitors and AV equipment, 18 AWG at 1.8m is sufficient. AWG 16 only needed for devices over 1000W. Kettle cords are bundled with most studio monitors but sometimes omitted from budget models.
