Question about assembling my own DIY AC Cable


Hi
I am about to assemble my first DIY AC Power cables for the first time. I chose the Yarbo SP-1100W as cable  and Viborg connectors.
Connectors:

Cable:

 

I was looking through some guides on youtube how to assemble it and I found this video from Furutech and as you can see they separate each conductor in 2 branches. I don't understand why they are doing that, does anybody know why? Should I do that as well for my power cable?


Cheers

I have furutech wire and use  there rhodium plated spades to connect to there plugs. It's pretty easily done but it takes longer than you'd expect.  In the video you posted a link to is simply showing you without the spades. When you stab those wires in it's hard to get them all in on both sides of the screw, and some of the shield also has to fit in the ground at the wall end only, I like the spades much better and there way easier to stab. They used to cost around 38 bucks for a 10 pack I believe. The cable went from $480 to over $550 per meter just because they can. 

I love these power cords and have about 6 of them now.

 

I also used the furutech contact  on the plug wires. Others have stated they don't like the rhodium plugs, only needed in a harsh saltwater environment.
