A hod of five 10' Cam-Lok 4/0 or 2/0 feeder cables, commonly (and usually wrongly) banded together, used to power one dimmer rack or ML PD from another, using the racks' power pass-thru feature. Note however, that when single conductor feeder cables are in contact with one another (banded), their ampacity must be derated to that of a multi-conductor cable with four current-carrying conductors. In practice, this does not work at the commonly used 200A and 400A ampacities, and thus conductors should not be banded together.

The gender of the green (Ground) and white (Neutral) cables may or may not be reversed, depending on the company's philosophy.
