Make your own remote power switches

Step 8 Wire the remote switch to the power bar

Cut the electrical cord jacket back as much as necessary to have a reasonable length of wire to work with inside the power bar. In my case this was about 6".

Strip each of the three wires in the cord back about 5mm and pre-tin them with solder.

Cut the hot wire (black) in the power bar that you chose in an earlier step.
Strip the two cut ends back about 5mm and pre-tin them with solder.

Slide some appropriately sized heat shrink over the black and white wires of the cord and solder these wires to the black wire ends in the power bar. Make sure the black cord wire goes to the hot side of the black cut wire in the power bar. Likewise, the white cord wire should go to the outlet side of the black cut wire in the power bar.

After confirming good solder joints, slide the heatshrink down the wires over the joints and shrink it. Preferably you should use a heat gun, but you can also use a hair drier or the soldering iron itself (it just takes a bit longer and is a bit smellier).

Solder the green cord wire to the neutral (white) wire inside the power bar at the location you picked earlier.
