Hi,
The silver, is the metal of the cable, you need this to be in contact in the bananas
(I also have this cable - the silver in the name gives it away
)
The plastic inside, is the core, this is different colours so you know which one it is, so you can put the right bananas on it (maybe you should put some electric tape round the outside as well, to remind you, once the bananas are on)
Can understand the confusion though.
Good luck getting it all sorted.
Hope this helped.
Cheers, Dan.
Thanks Dan - I would have been spending days looking for some silver in the coloured cables if I wasn't told lol. Just got confused as usually the metal bit is within the coloured wires
