I just ended up buying 12 of these cause they were available for overnight shipping.

I should be fine if i splice this wire and use it like the single pig tails right?

That will work perfectly for Scrypt only mining. I would not even try it for SHA mining though. Too much current to pull through a single feeder.

What is the part number/supplyer info, if you please?

Thanks!

got it on amazon

Right, well, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I mean the single MALE connectors and wires going to each plug are probably okay to use for mining but DO NOT use the single pigtail / end!
They don't specify the wire gauge size of that setup. So I'm figuring 16 gauge which is good for around 3.5 amps MAX! But, the wire gauge can be anything. Even 22 or even 24 gauge which is like telephone wire! Maybe good for a half to 1 amp MAX! You won't know what the gauge of the wire is until you cut it off the pigtail and strip it. It might be worthless for hashing actually, so don't be impatient or hasty and risk frying your power supply or worse, your mining pods.

So, cut the thing into 8 separate plugs. Strip and connect each plug's wire end to the main power supply.
Make sure you check and keep the polarity correct throughout the entire process. Center conductor is + Positive +.

If you want to pigtail them off of one wire from the power supply, use 14 gauge minimum which is good for up to 15 amps. Mining S-CRYPT is low power consumption but even at 1 amp each, that's 8 amps at the input wire which is too much to draw through it.

As usual, do this at your own risk! You fugg it up, you eat it!

Good luck!

I got one of those and cut it up but the wires in it are absurdly thin. Obviously video cameras use very little power. I just binned it. Even if the wires dont get very hot there will be an impedance there which will increase noise. Not good.
