RE: Just built a pair of those Chinese Xangsane SP 9001AG interconnects..

There is a silver plated copper braid over the wires inside. You gather up the braid at one side and attach it to the ground, and that side goes into the source. It makes the cable directional. With a power cable you'd do the same thing but attach it to the ground post on the plug, not the neutral. It's a way to provide a grounded shield. What you don't want to do is attach it at both ends. That'll create a ground loop, which can cause hum.
