Does specific power cable matter?

I will be returning my monitor.

 

I am concerned I might return the wrong power cable. I have a few f these 3 hole/pin power cables (the same power cable connectors that come with your PSU). Does it matter if I return the wrong one?

 

They all say they provide 10A and 250V but could one be providing less stable power? Is this something I need to worry about? If so, I would need to make sure I return the exact same cable that came with my Asus VE247 which would make it slightly harder for me/ take more time.

 

If anyone has this monitor, could you send me a close up pic of what the plug which connects to the monitor looks like, please?

They will all work but in general since it's not a high current device but for high wattage PSU's the larger wire diameter (smaller AWG number) is good for the extra current carrying capacity.

no shouldnt be a problem... unless it doesnt actually power the monitor on or fit.. if it has specific labeling on the cord then I would find it but generally they are all the same.

We're all dying slowly
