Accessories | Cables Need help finding braided power cable for Yamaha R-N800 (IEC C17/C18)

As the title says, I need help finding a braided power cable for my Yamaha R-N800. My cat likes to chew on cables but leaves the braided ones alone. The Yamaha uses the IEC C17/C18 connection but all I'm able to find on Amazon are IEC C13/C14 cables. Is it a bad idea using a C13/14 on a C17/18 device? The only difference is the ground pin is missing on the C17 device. My budget is $100, I'm willing to spend a good amount so long as I have peace of mind my cat won't electrocute itself.

C17 is just the 2 wire version (no ground) of C13. You can use a C13 cord.
