Question
I have multiple 10-gauge, heavy-duty extension cords in my house powering industrial grade computers for cryptocurrency mining- could a puppy chew through this strength of cable? The only reason why I ask is because there are products like CritterCords marketed for pet-owners to protect pets from chewing through standard electrical cords. It would seem like a 10-gauge power cable would afford the same protection claimed by a CritterCord. Thanks!
Answer
Yes a puppy can chew through a power cable and so can most other pets and critters.
The only safe thing to do is to put the cable in an area where your pet are unable to reach it,or to keep your pet away from the danger area.
The main reason for different products to work keeping pets away is because they have chemicals in them that has a unpleasant taste or smell like the crittercord has,it is not because the products can withstand chewing from sharp teeth.
