Just got my TD-100x but it does not come w/ power wire. It says it needs a 120V 60Hz VAC but when I google shop that a bunch of different stuff comes up..

help :/

120 is the volts, the AMPS is what the real issue is. How many amps an object draws relates to how heavy a wire you need. 20 amps..12 gauge wire. 15 amps.. 14 gauge.

I doubt that fan draws more than 4-5 amps so even a thin extension cord will work something around 14 or 16 gauge wire. If you have any romex around you can buy a plug to attach at HD for about $4.

Cheers.

there's not a cheaper way than getting a "heavy duty extension cord"? Any kind of extension cord will work??

I thoiught a computer power cable would work, but i opened it up to find a blue, redish, and a yellow/green wire

edit: which for the record, ended up working!
