Thanks for the visual.

Checked mine from the same vendor. If I hold my cables the same way with the ends together, lock tabs up. My colors are black on top, white on the bottom. That looks good.

But, what if you lay them flat and follow each wire. Is each wire supposed to go in a straight line across to the same pin on each plug? Because I have some that do and some that do not.

Some of mine are different config. Almost random...
