Strip between 1/2' - 3/4" of insulation off each unzipped tail

Determine the length of cable you want to lead to the split junction and cut the AC lead with the plug attached (if needed) to this length. Strip 3/4" insulation.

FOR HEAT SHRINK: (Stongly recommended)

Slide heat shrink tubing on unzipped ends BEFORE stripping and way BEFORE joining connections.

I started with the 1/4" tubing and cut 4ea 2" pieces and 2ea 1" pieces.

3" of the 3/4" large tubing was just enough to cover the junction I made. Use a little more if you like.

Cut 2 short 3/4" - 1" covers and slide one on each of the FEED line ends. These will cover the split junctions and keep your gear from shorting and you from frying. If not using heat shrink leave room to tape over and seal off junction.

Cut 2" sections to fit on each zip cord - 3 tails and one feed. These provide strain relief and will tighten up the junction by bringing together any space in the unzipped ends.

DO NOT SHRINK IT YET!
