Nuforce Icon RJ45 cable question: banana plug tips cut, what do I do?

Hi all,

 

I just picked up a second-hand Nuforce Icon (http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/icon/index.php).

 

However, the previous owner strangely cut off the banana plug ends of the supplied RJ45 cat 5 speaker cable. The cables look something like this: http://estore.nuforce.com/products/NuForce-Icon-Speaker-Wire-%282M%29.html

 

Can I just twist the exposed wires and just connect them to my speaker terminals?

 

Or can I just twist the exposed wires and connect them to some regular banana plugs?

 

Thanks!

I can't seem to find it.

 

The Nuforce Icon page only has a picture of the RJ45 pin assignments as below. Assuming this is for those who want to DIY their own cable from scratch?

 

If so, does that mean that for the + and - connection, I can twist everything (except DO NOT CONNECT!) and either connect to banana plugs or straight into the speaker terminals?

It looks like you can, as long as you don't mix + and - in the same bunch. But for $29, and if it's for wiring both sides, why not just get that for peace of mind?
