Volex cables - No longer belden???

I have purchased a set of Volex cables for a DIY project, but found that the cable itself is no longer Belden as it used to be, now it is named BAOHING (obviously chinese), but nonetheless, looks just the same as the Belden 19634, the specs are the same and the construction seems to be identical to the Belden (for what I´ve seen in pictures).

Does anyone have any experience with this cable? For the cost, I´d rather buy something else if these are not good. I just dont want to invest my DIY time on them if they are not worth it, although I think all cables are mostly the same. (I am not cable believer....)

He recommends power cords made in U.S.A. because they sound better.

Brand(s)?

Are we talking about audiophile cords, or UL approved, mass market cords? Then, the question becomes are the USA made cords assembled here with USA made plugs and USA made cable, or are some of the parts (like perhaps the wire) made in China?

Saying cords made in one country are inferior is some fantasy. Maybe twenty years ago, China cords were junk. not any more.
Pange is great, cheap as dirt, AND great. fantastic. (I own about twenty Pangea cords. pangea orgy.)
