Power Pole connectors come in MANY sizes -- different housings, 
different inserts. The 15A and 30A inserts are pretty easy to install if 
you buy the inserts the fit the wire. The 30A inserts are good up to 
#12. The 45A inserts are needed for #10, and they are VERY tricky to 
install. I've installed many hundreds of Power Poles, all soldered.

The caution about where to buy them is very good advice.

BTW -- the red/black zip cord is NOT ideal for use around RF. Twisted 
pair is FAR better, because twisting strongly resists differential mode 
RF pickup.
