11 foot round cloth covered 18/2 power cord with polarized plug, inline switch, for DIY Steampunk Lamp making, vintage look wire parts

Make your DIY lamp or electrical project complete with this high quality power cord. Features a polarized plug and over 11 feet of 2-conductor, 18-gauge, braided cloth-covered round wire with an inline on/off switch (located 30" away from the moulded polarized plug). Elsewhere online, 18/2 cloth-covered round wire can go for more than $2 per foot, *without* a plug OR an inline switch - this cord has both already built-in, saving you time and money. You get a full 11 feet of usable cord (plus a little extra for internal connections and wiring). Save even more with a 5 pack. The dimensions of the inline on/off switch are approx. 1" wide, 2-1/2" long, and 1" high. The wire itself has a diameter of .24" (6.1mm or about 1/4").

This cord includes a FREE accessory kit ($1.49 value), which includes a matching strain relief (threads into a standard 1/8" IPS female thread), perfect for mounting your cord to your project (see photo #9). Also includes two metal hooks and two cord management clips. I also sell exclusive pipe thread adapters to mount the included strain relief to a female NPT thread opening (1/2", 3/4", or 1"; see separate listing):

Includes a reusable Velcro™ strap for keeping the wire tidy. This cord is made in China, and is UL Listed. The cord can handle up to 250V / 660W. Great for any Steampunk Lamp project! Gives you the look of vintage wire, but the safety and quality of a brand-new cord. This cord is available in black only. Electrical wiring experience required to safely connect this cord to your project.

Cutting and stripping cloth covered wire can be tricky. I found a helpful video on YouTube that shows several different methods for doing this:

PLEASE NOTE: If your lamp or electrical project includes any AC outlets, then I recommend using thicker, 16AWG wire (3-conductor if your outlets are grounded). I offer 104" (8-1/2 foot) 16/2 flat, polarized power cords with right-angle plugs (see separate listing).

I also feature several other exclusive DIY lamp parts, that are not available anywhere else - so please check them out in my shop! Thanks.
