Hi Ken,
That is an EXCELLENT tip...!
What I do here whenever I work on my amp / p.s. is to install / remove each of
the cables one at a time, and then trace the ends of the cable I'm working on
before connecting them. Only when the first is confirmed & installed, do I
proceed to the second...
So far my mental capabilities haven't deteriorated to the point wherein I may
forget what I did moments before --- thus far! --- so I'm still alive & well to
talk about all this, Hi Hi.

I used coax connectors years ago in the 2000 vdc days, and painted the male
and female connectors with my wife's red fingernail polish, to distinguish
between the regular RF cables.

I have always used RG-8 coax, not foam, for HV wire. I use HN series coax
connectors. They are a little pricey if you buy them new but I manage to find
a sufficient supply by scrounging around in the miscellaneous boxes and ham
fests.
