- A helpful guide for installing male and female Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 electrical connectors onto a cable.
Tools needed:
Neutrik Female Connector: NAC3FX-W ($8.31, Full Compass)
Neutrik Male Connector: NAC3MX-W ($8.31, Full Compass)
Cable lubricant, utility knife, wire strippers (Weicon No. 5), Torx T8 screwdriver.
That last bit where you showed them coming together; that was exactly what I was looking to confirm before ordering these. Thank you!
Watching you work, and listening to your commentary, is hilarious, and quite a good way to learn. thank you for your videos!!
Tip: Cords of that style are specifically wound a certain way so that there is a female and male side of the cord. In the video your neutral-white wire was on the wrong side and you displayed some frustration. If you did the other side of the cable it would have been in the correct order for the connector. Great video very helpful thank you!
Way to cool, live that idea!!!
Dude this is awesome.
I've found if you flip the cable end for end you will find that the orientation of the wires will be correct, no need to manipulate the orientation at the connector.
Guessing Ave has been some inspiration lol. good video

Next time you make up a connector, such at these, or even a Edison connector, like Hubble or something, and you discover that you need to cross the ground and neutral, try flipping the cable around to make up the other end. The arrangement of hot, neutral & ground will line up.
Torque spec is always tighten until just before it breaks.
Great video. Can tell you watch AvE just by listening :)
I love your moans when you tighten the plugs. Also your comment when lubricating the outside of the wire is nice :-)
Since you've done so many of these, which type of power cable have you found works best? Do you have a specific brand and model?
Why not ferrules?
thanks, i was lost.
For me I always use Ferrules when assembling powercon or any other electrical connector/termination. The raw strands directly are problematic in many ways. This cable cannot fail and is why ferrules comes into play.
I swore you were the one who taught me to use ferrules on the stranded wires. Anyways, why did you switch to True1? I’m still using the regular blue powercons
Hi there. As you found out there is a correct end of the cable you need to use without crossing over them.
I think I was more interested in the wire stripper!
Thank you for this very helpful guide - and the great tipp with the Weicon stripper. Did you know that you can order from
