Ripcord power cable?

Ripcord power cable?

Ripcord power cable?

(OP)
Hello All,  I'm trying to find power cable that is like speaker cable.  2 conductor side by side, the same stuff that comes with a wall transformer, or any DC power supply.  I'm looking for something less than 18AWG.  I see this stuff everywhere, it's right next to me, but I can't find anyone that sells it.  I tried electrosonic and digikey.  If anyone knows this stuff, help please.  Thanks.

Also it has to be black, that's the challenging part.

I need something smaller than 18AWG to fit in my connector.

So something like 20AWG.

I would call Houston Wire and Cable 1-800-Houwire. If they don't carry it they can probably tell you who does.
