I used them multiple time to wire my trailer a few weeks ago.
They worked much better than I thought they would but I was using them on 18
and 16 gauge stranded wire. I used a heat gun to melt the solder and shrink the
tubing. After that I wiped several layers of "liquid electrical tape" and then
silicone tape over them to ensure they would stay dry and to help remove the
physical load of the wire in the splice. The "bundle" was then firmly attached
to the trailer frame to avoid any movement.
"Computer power cord" is a little vague so I'm not sure how it would work out.
My concerns would be related to the durability of the connection after it has
been completed, especially if there will be any flex or movement of the wires
after the connection is made.
