This is the same wire that is used in Bottlehead's SEX kit, so I followed thier directions on use. The red wire is used as the signal wire and is hooked up as nornal. The black wire is the the ground and is hooked at one end to the ground. The drain bare drain wire is wrapped around the black wire at the ground end and soldered. The shield is pulled back far enough to accomplish this.
Essentialy at one end the black and bare wire at arrached to ground and the red signal wire is to the siganl's path. At the other end everything is trimmed back except the red wire, which is hooked to the other end of the siganl's path.
I noticed on several connections that I had stretched the red wire's insulation enough that it was making contact with the foil shield. I just got in a hurry and used linesman's strippers to strip the black outer casing. The teeth cut a little too deep and caught the inner casings. I did not notice this until I started to examine my solder connections under an 8x loupe. I then checked for continuity between the siganl and ground and had full contact, damn....Colin
