Hi As I said in an earlier post after messing about with the powerpoles for about an hour and assembling them every way possible. There is only one way they can be assembled so they will plug together, have the red and black connectors match on two sets when plugged together, the dovetails mate and still have a unisex system. This is the Elecraft, Rigrunner and ARES configuration. The only one other way they can be assembled that meet the above criteria, is not unisex so you have sort of a male and female in that the connectors must be assembled differently to mate correctly.
"Red on LEFT looking *into* the connectors (from the pluggable side), or Red on RIGHT looking down the wire *at* the connectors." This is fine if you can remember it. I just like my way better "TTRR" or Terminal Top Red Right. That is when the contact terminals are to the top of the connector looking into the connector the red will be on the right.

Tonuge down in either case. These are known as California Reverse Anderson Polarity compliant ARES connectors (since CA chose to use <ahem> a "different" configuration for Anderson Powerpoles for their ARES connectors, than had previously been chosen -- and implemented many years earlier -- other ARES groups in other states. CA is bigger, and bigger aparently rules, I guess.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net<mailto:elecraft@mailman.qth.net>> Sent: Monday, June 28, 2004 11:03 Subject: [Elecraft] Anderson Connectors ARES Standard The correct connection is while looking down at the connectors to have RED RIGHT TONGUE DOWN. Looking at the front end of the connectors the RED will be on the left and the TONGUE will be down. That is how the pre wired cable extensions and Rig Runners are wired.
