Nice and flexible.
That's a huge bonus for people trying to thread it around stuff. It's a shame that small rolls are so expensive.

Some other posts about Andersen power poles, I've used them for years in all sorts of conditions and never had a failure on properly crimped connections. Just buy the tool and use it. And there is a ton of connector colors. You can still meet the black /red wires that the inspectors like, but color code the connections.

I'm not sure on the request for 4 foot leads, but 1 foot on the power side would let you make a neat install with the new PDU. 5 inches isn't much to work with.

Thanks FIRST, it's August and we all know about a change, love this new open info flow!!
