I know this is really basic, but for some reason I can't seem to find the answer through a Google search. I'm building some short power cables to clean up my racks by just cutting off standard cables to the desired length, keeping the female connector on the cable, and wiring a new male end on.
I've figured out that the brown wire is hot, blue is neutral and green/yellow is ground, but my question is about the plug. It's obvious which prong is ground, but which is hot and which is neutral? Looking at the plug head on, with the prongs pointing towards me and the ground prong at 6:00, do I hook the hot (brown) wire to the left blade or the right blade?
