That will require removal of the outer sheath.

So just thinking about this...unless someone is going to tell me different, there is no reason why I shouldn't send 1kw down a cable and into an NL2 connector, so either the design of the connector is inadequate (and as far as I know it is the international standard these days for speaker connections, so that would be a HUGE error), or the requirement for 4mm cable is incorrect. Or maybe there is a third conclusion I have missed?

Not totally sure what you mean by this. While I don't mean to insult your intelligence lol just to clarify I assume you realise you have to remove a small part of the outer jacket to expose the cores inside, and then a small part of these to expose the copper inside and insert that into the connector terminals? Are you using the newer style NL2 or the older one? k

Heh, yeah I know. The outer part of the cable is too large - both for the hole in the outer part of the NL2 and the cord grip.
I am not sure of the difference between new and old style connectors but I have just taken this one off the end of a cable I bought from Thomann, which was previously attached to a 1.5mm cable.

Lineax / titanex is about the thickest 4x4mm cable ive seen, it is a snug but easy fit into a NL4FC. the more common NL4FX has a smaller entry so would be very tight / impossible.

Indeed it has. I could understand it if the core had more than two conductors.
