I have 4 of these, which I use mostly for LED lighting:

I have 2 of the 30' version of the same thing. The 5' spacing on the outlets is great. They're only 14ga, which didn't thrill me at first, but they work fine for what I need, and it saves a lot of weight over my 12ga cords of similar design.

I have two 4-quad stringers that I use for stage power, with 4 rubber quad boxes spaced 10' apart. I used OA Windsor boxes for these, just like all my quads, and they're fantastic. I built them last spring, and then I kicked myself for not building them sooner. Those 2 stringers are one of the best investments I've made, actually. Such a time saver vs running quads everywhere.

For powered wedges, I used to use a 50' and 30' 12ga stringer with outlets every 7', but I don't do that much anymore, since I have a bunch of combo cable with power and 2 audio lines. It works much better than plugging everything into a stringer and running individual cables back to the snake. I still have those 2 stringers, but they don't get used much anymore.

Sorry, same as the product above. They also sell other types of strip so look at them all.

Markertek has the Milspec AC stuff too. I wish they had a duplex for each instead of single edisons. Otherwise the kludge factor can go up

My typical front line has 4 or 5 monitors , drawing about 2a each. Pedalboards draw very little.

I like the fact that powerCon connectors are a low-profile locking device, and that you can modify the spacing between quad boxes by having different lengths of cord sets.

The E-String 23' ones on the B&H site (scroll down in the link above) were what I remembered.
