[Boatanchors] multi conductor cable needed

[Jim Wilhite]

If you should be using one of the wires for more than 600 volts, be 
sure to use appropriate wire such as Teflon or other HV wire as 
appropriate in the bundle John. What Paul suggest is probable the 
best way to make what you need provided you have the connectors and 
your message suggest you do.

Another thing that makes this approach  better is you can use 
different colors of wire to make connections easier.
