2nd, 'more wires' are 3 signal cables--1 positive and 2 common/ground/neutral/return. You can use an Ohmeter to verify that end to end.3rd and 4th, the drain wire is the connection for the shield, to equipment/connector common on one end only. "...providing total shield coverage without compromising the negative conducting path..." means the shield is NOT a signal conductor. AQ connects the shield at the load (= driven-equipment) end. If you wanted to make your job a little easier, cut the cable to length while leaving the load-end connector on--that is, cut off the supply-end connector--and you won't have to deal with the shield.
One more suggestion--I and many others love Cardas Quadtectic solder. It sounds great, and because it melts at a lower temp than high-silver-content solders, it's easier to use. If you'll e-mail me at jeffreybehr(at)cox(dot)net with your mailing address, I'll send you some, free.
Good luck.
