[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 244360, member: 16"] I was taught to always double over single core, solid drawn cables if there's only one in the termination & never ever twist them together. Stranded cables such as 6491x should be twisted but not with another cable. They should then be doubled over if only one cable is in the termination. However that was a while ago when accessories were well made. Now everything's cheap tat with so much metal trimmed off you haven't got room to double over. [/QUOTE]
