The problems, which are caused by the conventional (not shielded) power cords, are dual. At one hand they are emitting a hum of 50 Hz together with a very broad distortions spectrum what influence the other audio cables in a negative way. At the other hand it is not allowed that the clean current voltage coming from the KE-POWER SOURCE will be infected again by distortions.
From this it follows that a conventional power cord works as a receiving/sending aerial for distortions, as well that power cords ought to absorb rather than to reflect them.
Below a description with photographs of the production process of our KE-POWER CABLES.
On this photograph you see how the extrusion process of the KE-POWER WIRE take place. THE OFC helicodiale multistrand (51) passing away by the extrusion drum. In this drum the heated insulation material sits - so that this is liquid - so it can be attached himself around the copper. Afterwards it's cooled down in a water bath. The coagulated wire is wound on very large reels. In each KE-POWER CORD sits 5 of these wires.

Afterwards the isolated wires again go through a extrusion drum so that around comes an inner jacket. This inner jacket ensure that the veins firmly sit at each other in order to protect against microfonie and resonate. Each extrusion process cause much heat and fetidness...

Then a shielding become around the inner jacket. The large drum is turning on low rpm. On this way the braid work is very dense and closely as possible to get. By our high made demands on this it was a time-intensive process...

Here is the outer jacket extrusion machine. The cable becomes here with outer jacket. The composition of this is very important for the flexibility of the cable. We have given very much attention to this so our cables are as smooth as possible and cosmetically attractive.

Finally the cable gets a print with our color (see paint bath). After this the cable is wound on very large reels and afterwards on small (50 m ) reels so that it would be easier for us to terminate the plugs and connectors.
