Tesla Roadster to Model S converted to J1772

Ok, this was a surprise. I cut open the Roadster to Model S adapter to put a J1772 plug on instead. Any guesses what the four white insulated "fiber" wire is?

Are you sure it's not just filler (random example:http://www.engmono.com/products/cable-filler/)?

Yeah, just looks like filler.

It is strain-relief/filler that is put into most cables that may encounter a lot of movement/pulling etc. They take most of the stretch strain so the conductors in the cable don't take the strain.

Cable with pair of 4ga cu & a 6ga cu definitely needs all the strain relief it can get. :wink:
