Plan Your 

Project

All CabLED components are rated IP65 and are designed for both 

indoor and outdoor use.

Decide whether to use Warm or Cool White CabLED or a combination 

of both colors.

Measure the length of each section, rounded off to the nearest 7.09 

inch (18cm) interval to determine how much CabLED you will need.

Do NOT cut the CabLED or push the connectors together before you 

are ready to install.

Power

Refer to the power supply chart to determine correct power supply. 

NOTE: Using an insufficient power supply will not light the system to its 

full potential or may cause it to flicker.

Connectors

Measure each section and adjust your project to determine the 

connectors you will use. Each connector has been designed for a 

specific purpose, but you may have a few choices for your particular 

needs. Use the "Component Layout" section for an overview of the 

connectors and how they can be used. 

Installation

Follow the instructions carefully when cutting CabLED and attaching 

the connectors. 

Test your installation before mounting.

Mounting

Use one of the five mounting solutions.
