Neutrik Power Cables?

I guess I meant speakon when I said neutirk. lol
My RCF subs have two speakon plugs. One is the power cable for the sub. The other is meant as an outlet for your tops.
That's why I'm wondering if there's an actual speakon cable with a female AC end or is it just a speakon adapter with a female AC.

I assume you know what you're talking about...but it doesn't sound right. I'm sure I'll be corrected on this, but are you sure it's not just a signal pass-through for the tops and the first one is the signal input?
Yes. The sub does not use the IEC power cable. It uses a lockable speakon connector for power and it also has a second speakon connector to provide AC to your tops.
That's what I would need to power the sub, but it already has that. I would need the same thing but female AC.
No, RCF 705as.
I found the terminology for what I'm looking for. It's called PowerCon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The PowerCon® is a locking 3 conductor equipment AC connector with contacts for line, neutral and pre-mating ground contact. It replaces appliance couplers wherever a very rugged solution in combination with a locking device is needed in order to guarantee a save power connection.

RCF ART 705-AS active subwoofer integrates a high current 800 Watt amplifier, a complete electronic processor section and RCF low distortion, high power woofer. The result is a compact, high power system, unique in its class for output and low distortion.
A 2 step class H TAED amplifier design is used to power the system. This high current model provides the correct amount of deliverable power in conjunction with a massive transformer and a multiple bank of capacitors is able to achieve perfect control of the woofer mass at very high output levels.
The input section presents mono/stereo combo XLR/Jack input connectors and XLR high pass output connectors. A recessed master volume, the phase switch and the selectable crossover frequency switch guarantee outstanding versatility. The processor section includes active system equalization, limiter and protection functions. The system is visually monitored from 4 status LEDs.

Just purchase a regular extension cord, chop off the male end (ouch!) and attach a male Powercon connector to that side. Anyone can do it, they are color-coded and use screw terminals, so no soldering is required. If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, Bill at ESC or Carl Ondraka (?) can make it up for you in whatever length you need. I would just make up short one's like 1 foot and use the regular IEC cord that came with your top to plug into the adapter.
