How to splice power supply wires together?
#1

The family cat chewed the wire on a power supply to the powered speakers on a PC. Is it ok to "splice" them back togehter somehow? The power supply says it is a "Class II"; I/P:120VAC 60Hz 23VA; O/P: 12 VAC 1500mA. I was thinking about splitting the wire down the middle to separate the (copper) wires, stripping back about 3/4 inch black plastic insulation, then twisting the matching wires back together, and either using electric tape to recover, or I have some yellow wire nuts that I could use to connect. Is either method safe? If yes, is one better than the other? Or should I just go buy a new power supply? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
