Yes. The wire is 12 gauge. One run for each pole....live, neutral and ground. Twist as I said above. This is not a cable ......but individual wire runs. Simple to build as I pointed out. The connectors on the link I gave should be used. They are a steal.

I make my own power and speaker cables, but I can’t be bothered with soldering so interconnects I buy. Of course I spent years and barrelfulls of money chasing the perfect boutique cables, but after my audiophilia nervosa disappeared some years ago I no longer hear those significant differences I used to hear. These days, rationality restored, my choice for power cables is Supra LoRad for their excellent shielding, and speaker cable from German manufacturer Sommer Cable. |
I got the ends from Parts Express and the cable from Lowes. I used Carol Cable Extension Cord which UL approved. During assembly I tried various size conductors: 10,12,14 and 16 awg. I ended up with 12 awg for my amps 14 & 16 for everything else. That took place years ago and all my gear has changed, some devices many times and never considered any cord changes. I never considered wire that is not UL approved for purpose. |
I have been using these Viborg connectors on my power cords. https://www.amazon.com/Viborg-Rhodium-Plated-Connector-Female/dp/B01NAGZRD0/ref=asc_df_B01NAGZRD0/?t... Cable is secret sauce that I obtain from my employ as an industrial electrician, cant say any more....... |
