Making DC power cable with 3 wires


Hi,

I have a piece of power cable that I want to use to upgrade my DC cable.  That power cable has 3 wires in it, while a DC cable only need two.  What would you do with the third wire?  Would you just ignore it, or connect one terminal with two wires and one terminal with one?

 

thanks.

@carlsbad  Cable is Gotham 86215, 16AWG.  I want to use it to between the LPS and Naim streamer, 12 V, 4.2A.  

@glennewdick Connectors are 2 hole GX16 out from LPS, DC2.5G into the Naim.  So, there is no ground.

Just wondering which way is conceptually better.  
 

thanks
