There, recently, was a thread (on another site) asking about using '8TC' for a powercord. which the eBay advert was claiming was good...(the poster added a link, I almost think it was an attempt to sell the stuff?)
The images of the fakes from China were very good looking, and totally looked like real Kimber 8TC. I do not know if the Teflon insulation had the same qualities as the real Kimber 8TC. (Kimber 8TC and 12. 4TC have very hard Teflon, If you run it pressing hard with/through your hands repeatedly it will start peeling your skin apart as if burned. I know this from adding a cotton rope in mine and pulling it back down OUCH!
Some people used to sell Kimber Hero in the Kimber 'bubble' packaging at a low price on ebay, and those were fakes too. I think those got shut down by Ray Kimber. If you send in a cable to Kimber to verify real/not, and it is fake, they KEEP IT.
I am concerned enough about fake cables I no longer buy used cables at all.
