sirs mr H/audiojunkie,

hehehe, thanks. ang tigas lang ng #12ga THHN, 3-wire braided cable. will try the royal chord-mas pogi ;D. i think ito yung ginagamit ng mga nag install ng split type aircon sa bahay.

sir GneW, ito po ba ay solid core wire? talagang mahirap nga makipagbuno dito...  ;D  :D

no, ussualy 7 strands of #20 wire(estimated) kaya mahirap bunuin....royal cables can have as many as 16~24 strands if i am not mistaken and a thinner gage so relatively mas madaling bunuin... ;D
That's OK, you can like or dislike anything you choose. That's the wonderful thing about the freedom

stranded din sir pero mga 7 to 8 solid wires ang laman nya kaya matigas. marami kasing natira sa pagawa ng bahay ko kaya ito nalang gamit. naka #12A AWG ang lahat ng convenience outlet ko sa bahay

In my DIY project, stranded rin ang ginamit ko pino lang ang gage ng wires. Pero medyo mahirap ding e-manipulate dahil sa aluminum foil shielding, drain wire at nylon filler.




Drain wire silver color

thank you very much sir audiojunkie  for the kind words  ;) :)

these royal cords are locally made and are inexpensive wires that can be bought by the meter at most hardware stores... the IEC terminals i sourced previously abroad but there is now a local supplier who sell these at reasonable price...

btw, i recently bought a handful of inexpensive but "heavier duty" IEC sockets from KINETIC (AMXaudio) to match my DIY cords... these IEC sockets will be installed on several servo type AVRs i used at home for audio, HT, TVs, big photocopier, PABX, computers, laser printers and other sensitive electronic stuff...

dami na po paggagamitan sa bahay ng mga DIY cords ko... hehehe

cheers!!

6 wires of 2 different gauges + 1 ground wire. Unshielded ito pero if you want, simplest shield you could use is an aluminum tape to wrap the wires.

I did similar braiding geometry but used only 2+2+1, the finished product was a bit thinner than you got.  ::)

thanks for the info.  ;D
