I just today replaced the stock romex feeding a dedicated outlet for my gear with some cryoed 10ga romex. I've been using the older version of the SWO-XXX for quite a while now and I can report that the older SWO-XXX had NO problem accepting the new 10ga. The old romex was 12 or 14ga - I really didn't pay attention to what I pulled out. I can only assume that the newer outlets can handle it just as well if not better. I just fed it in through the holes in the back as Alan recommends. Also installed a WPC-Z that I'd bought sometime back. Everything worked great! On the other hand, I now know why electricians hate working with 10ga wire. Working with the wire itself was a PITA, but the SWO-XXX had no problem with it. As I type this I am waiting for Alan to send me a new R1 that I bought from him. So, guess I'll get to do the connections all over again a couple of weekends from now.
