Sorry if I posted this in the wrong newsgroup, but everyone here seems
so knowledgeable, that I thought I would give it a try.

I mounted a 15" LCD TV on a wall, and in order to make it look neat, I
need a 7' electrical cord, not the 6' that I got with the TV.

I cannot find a 7' cord, so here are my options:

1. Cut a 12' cord to size

2. Use a 12' cord, and wrap the extra 5' around the back of the TV,
which cannot be seen, so that it looks neat.

I would like to do No. 2, but am wondering if this is safe? My feeling
it that it would be safer than cutting a cord to size.

Appreciate your help everyone.

Thanks.

Don't know what you mean by wrapping it around,
but I would rather fold it several times and hold
it with a tape, a rubber band or other. But to
answer you question, of course it is safe and
cheaper than cutting a 12 foot cord and adding a
plug. Cutting a cord to size is not unsafe, if
you add a proper plug.
