 Can anyone tell me where I can purchase some Rhodium wire that's suitable for building a power cord for my CDP/Transport?

TIA!

 I've only ever seen rhodium plated connectors, never rhodium wire. Not saying it doesn't exist just that I've never seen it.

 Rhodium wire is mostly used in the jewelry trade and is sometimes supplied mixed with platinum. You can find some copper with rhodium plating. Mostly rhodium is used in plating due to its hardness and resistance to oxidation.

 Thanks everyone, but it would appear you're correct about the Rhodium being used in the connectors and not in the wires! It would appear that I misread about the power cord and it's configuration. Thanks for all your help. Your time was and is greatly appreciated!

 Rhodium wire is also used in Thermocouples. Usually with Platinum in alloys.
Type R, IIRC, and maybe others.
Too much is never enough
