[QUOTE="frank kayser, post: 25525, member: 28"] Re: Mutiple Power Taps - Backine Power... Thanks for the responses. I do like the OA Windsor system - I was considering the Lex for the lack of relative bulk - probably not the best tradeoff. I have one of the HD/LOWES yellow multitap cords, and I like it - OK - but at 25' with two in the middle, and one on the end, well it really does not buy me much. Add a second one on the end, and I only have five. The Lex Orechesra had six in 25 feet. Thinking through it, with the comments above, I'll probably have a OA Windsor system in my bag-o-tricks soon. OA Windsor has some Powercon Equipped boxes. Two questions: as far as I know, Powercons are not something an inspector would normally see - do we think an inspector would have problems using Powercons - with SO cable? If it is neat, no trip hazards, no bailing wire or duck tape holding things together? The other question is utility - making a on-the-fly custom stringer w/Powercon boxes has some appeal, but is the idea better than the practical reality? More moving contacts, more points of failure, more cost - versus use what you need, easy replacement of a damaged section, etc. thanks frank [/QUOTE]
