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

That cable reminds me of a vegan diet--pretty much eveything you can do to make i difficult.  Add up all the pieces and you get almost 10awg which is what I recommend.  It will be a lot of extra work to get all the conductors stripped and ready to go into the connectors but it is pretty simple.  Put the red cable and black cable in the hot pins and the green to the neutral.  The connectors are probably marked.  

Make sure you tighten each conductor well and secure the strain relief.  Let us know how you like the viborg.  I haven't seen anything to make me think they are better than other Chinese connectors other than they gave them a name.

@jea48 I think you are right. I didn’t translate terminology correctly into european plugs.

PS  Do your tube amps not like shielded cables terminated on both ends (may cause ground loop) or were you saying that there is a problem if they are grounded only on one end?
