Sorry for the confusion the wire itself isn't braided, it's in a black braided nylon cover. Just like the two sets that have a plug/connector on them. Also the wire has no eyelet on it, at least not now it doesn't.
Would this still be the ground wire? There is another plug area on the back on the radio, but nothing to plug into it.
Thank you for your assistance thus far.
