Trying to splice these 2 cables together. Anyone know which cables to pair together?

>> No.1490545

depends on what the fuck they're connected to, fuckwit. What are you going to do with the extra conductors?

since top looks like mains, bottom data, do this -

plug in the mains cable, connect each data line to the mains cable in every combination - this will guarantee you won't have to splice them together.

It is simple: do not

That looks like a UK mains cable, so ~240V
The bottom looks like a data cable as others have said, that is most likely not intended to take that much juice.

You'll probably end up in a cloud of smoke

Green and orange go to brown. Red and blue to light blue. And yellow goes to green.

You have to twist them all together and solder. Otherwise it won't be able to handle the current

You must have a good mechanical joint before you solder.

Just solder them all together, the electricity will figure out where to go.
