I found it in the bottom of my gear bin and vaguely remember receiving it as a gift a few years ago.

Cut an end off to see if the core is braided technora, or nylon twisted parallel strands of most accessory cords.

The sheath pattern looks like it.

Try to cut it with a hot knife. If it doesn’t cut, it’s powercord.

Cool, based on all of the above, I have determined it is powercord. Thanks!
