Chord Clearway Power IEC Cable
A sensible first power-cable upgrade for hi-fi and AV components that need a cleaner connection to the wall.
Power Is Part of the System
A system can have excellent electronics and still be affected by the noise around it. Power cables often run close to interconnects, speaker cables, network gear, displays, and power supplies, so the cable feeding the component has a real job to do.
Clearway Power is built for that job. It gives source components, amplifiers, streamers, displays, and AV electronics a better shielded power connection without making the system feel overbuilt.
Why We Chose It
We chose Chord Clearway Power because it is a practical first step into better power cabling. It uses a dual-foil shield under the outer jacket to reduce interaction with nearby cables and help lower the pickup of high-frequency noise common in modern rooms.
The construction is the reason this cable makes sense. High-purity multi-strand copper conductors, a shielded design, and proper plug quality give the component a cleaner power path than a basic supplied lead.
What the Specs Won't Tell You
A Quieter Electrical Environment Around the Component
The dual-foil shield helps reduce interaction with nearby cables and electronics. In a revealing system, that can make music feel calmer, cleaner, and easier to follow.
Useful Beyond Two-Channel Systems
Power noise can affect hi-fi, home cinema, streamers, and video components. Clearway Power is a good fit when the system has several pieces of equipment sharing the same rack or wall area.
A Practical Upgrade Before Going Further
This is not the most ambitious power cable in the Chord range. It is the sensible starting point when the supplied cable feels like the weakest part of an otherwise capable component.
The Audio Two Verdict
Clearway Power is the power cable we would consider when the component is worth protecting from the noisy environment around the system. It is especially useful on better streamers, integrated amplifiers, DACs, disc players, and AV components where a cleaner power connection can help the rest of the system do its job.
For higher-end components, Shawline or Epic power may be the stronger match. Clearway Power is the clean first step.
Tech You Can Hear
| What You Hear | Why It Happens |
|---|---|
| A calmer, cleaner presentation | Dual-foil shielding helps reduce high-frequency noise pickup around the component |
| Less interaction with nearby cables | Shielding beneath the outer jacket helps reduce cable-to-cable interference |
| A better power path for capable electronics | High-purity multi-strand copper conductors replace the basic supplied lead |
| A practical fit for hi-fi and AV racks | Standard IEC lengths cover common component and rack placements |
