Can I use this 3-pin wire for my RGB LED strip?

No, this is a 3-pin (3-conductor) wire. Standard RGB LED strips require 4 pins (R, G, B, and V+). This cable is specifically for CCT Tunable White strips or single-data-line addressable strips like the WS2811/WS2812B series.

What are the benefits of tinned copper wire?

Tinned copper means the individual copper strands are coated in a thin layer of tin. This protects the copper from oxidizing (turning green) over time and makes the wire much easier to solder, resulting in a stronger, more reliable electrical connection.

Ensure reliable power and data transmission for your custom lighting projects with our versatile 1-meter, 3-pin extension cable. Engineered specifically for low-voltage LED systems, this wire is the perfect solution for bridging gaps, extending controller leads, or creating custom-length connections. It features a high-purity, tinned oxygen-free copper core that guarantees low resistance and stable, long-lasting conductivity, minimizing voltage drop over distance.

This 3-conductor power cable is universally compatible with two popular types of lighting: 3-wire CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) LED strips and single-signal addressable LED strip lights. Available in multiple wire gauges and color codings, it provides the flexibility you need for a clean, professional installation.

Key Features

High-Conductivity Core

Constructed with multi-strand tinned oxygen-free copper to ensure minimal resistance, stable current flow, and easier soldering.

Choice of Wire Gauge

Select between thicker 20AWG for longer runs and higher power loads, or flexible 22AWG for standard, shorter connections.

Flexible PVC Insulation

A durable yet super-soft PVC jacket provides excellent insulation, high tensile strength, and is easy to route in tight spaces.

Standardized Color Coding

Available in Red/Green/White for addressable strips (VCC/DAT/GND) and Red/Yellow/White for CCT strips (V+/WW/CW) for error-free wiring.

Application Scenarios

CCT Tunable White Lighting Perfect for connecting separate segments of CCT strips in under-cabinet lighting, extending the wire from the controller to the strip, or navigating corners where a continuous strip is not feasible. This wire is ideal for extending connections to color temperature LED lights .

Addressable LED Projects Use this cable to extend the connection from your controller to the start of a single-signal addressable LED strip. It ensures the crucial data line is reliably transmitted alongside power, essential for installations in signage, architectural accents, or entertainment systems.

DIY Electronics & Prototyping A reliable 3-conductor wire for various low-voltage projects requiring separate power, data, and ground lines. Its high-quality construction makes it a dependable choice for hobbyists and professionals alike.

How to Use This 3-Pin Extension Cable

Select the correct wire gauge for your LED strip power requirements. Choose 20AWG for longer runs or higher-power strips to reduce voltage drop; 22AWG is suitable for shorter connections.
Cut the wire to your desired length using wire cutters.
Carefully strip approximately 5mm (1/4 inch) of the PVC insulation from the end of each of the three conductors.
Identify the correct wiring scheme for your LED strip. For CCT strips, this is typically Red (V+), Yellow (WW), and White (CW). For addressable strips, it's usually Red (VCC), Green (Data), and White (GND).
Securely solder the corresponding wires to the copper pads on your LED strip or connect them using an appropriate 3-pin solderless connector.
Insulate each connection with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent any short circuits.

⚠ Precautions

Always double-check the wiring diagram of your specific LED strip and controller, as color coding can sometimes vary between manufacturers.
Do not exceed the maximum current rating for the wire gauge you have selected to avoid overheating and potential damage.
This is a low-voltage DC wire. Do not use it for AC household power applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between 20AWG and 22AWG wire?

A:AWG (American Wire Gauge) is a measure of wire thickness; a lower number indicates a thicker wire. 20AWG is thicker than 22AWG, allowing it to handle more electrical current with less voltage drop, making it the better choice for longer runs or high-power LED strips.

Q: Which color combination should I choose?

A:Choose the color set that matches your LED strip's wiring standard. The Red/Green/White combination is most common for addressable LED strips (VCC/Data/GND), while Red/Yellow/White is often used for CCT strips (V+/Warm White/Cool White).

Q: Does this cable come with connectors on the ends?

A:No, this is a spool of raw cable sold by the meter. You will need to cut and strip the ends to solder them or use them with compatible 3-pin solderless connectors.

Q: If I order a quantity of 15, will I receive 15 separate 1m pieces?

A:For orders of multiple meters, we typically ship one continuous length (e.g., a single 15-meter roll) to give you the flexibility to cut custom lengths. If you require separate 1-meter pieces, please specify this in your order notes.
