Hi All.
After some expert advice regarding changing the standard IEC type leads that were supplied with my home cinema components (TV / Blu ray / Sky+ box / AV amp / Powered Subwoofer)
i've seen various cables available off the shelf but are very costly.
Im looking into making some myself using IEC style connectors (fig 8 etc), a quality 3 pin plug and some better shielded cable between the two.
The existing cables are approx 1.5mm typical bog standard stuff.
haven't changed any fuses in any of the kit and fused ratings are as follows:
40" LCD = 10amp - power consumption in the book is 200w
Blu ray player = 13a - power consumption in the book is 26w (odd that its got a 13a fuse?)
Sky= Box = 3a - power consumption rated as 60w max in the book
Powered Sub = 3a - power consumption rated as 100w in the book.
The cable im looking at (which has been recommended for use in this application for its shielding) is -

The version i have read to use is the 2.5mm 3 core version (this one will have numbered black cores as opposed to coloured).
This is supposedly, as i have read, suitable.
Questions being as the cable is bigger, do i need to alter fuses or stick with the sizes supplied? -
Is the cable suitable? - have been told it is but would like to make sure.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.
Steve.
