wire size / distance "graph"
Hi, Of course the cord color varies--but this is a nice quick graphic way to select a good gauge. It appears that the #10 wire is wrongly labeled.

Why is their a difference between 2 vs 3 prong 16 gauge? Insulation type maybe?
Just a guess. The reason could be that the cable used on the far left cord is SVT (sometimes call "vacuum" cord because it is used on vacuum cleaner and other light appliances). Not as "mechanically" robust as SJT or SJOOW.
