From flat ribbon and hoses for RGB runs with 4 or 5 conductors for multicolor lighting, to parallel and transparent hoses for single-color lighting with two conductors. Their characteristics will be explained below and the different types of cables will be shown.
Description of LED cables
A cable for use in LED lighting is composed of two or more conductors depending on the colors that need to be powered. Hence, they are classified into two main groups, depending on whether they are single-color or multicolor (RGB).
Single-color cables require cables with 2 conductors, while RGB ones require 4, three for the red, green, and blue colors, and another (black conductor) to power the 12/24 V, also indicated as positive. There is also the case of using RGB + W (Red-Green-Blue + White), in this situation 5 conductors are used, the four indicated for the colors and the black for the positive.
These cables use copper or tinned copper conductors to offer high conductivity while facilitating soldering. The covers are made of flexible PVC to facilitate assembly and installation.
RGB flat ribbons
Cables are available for connecting RGB Led with versions of 4 and 5 conductors for use in RGB or RGB+W led strips, respectively. The color of the covers helps to identify the use of each conductor. For each model, the following sections are available:
- Q10-426 (4 conductors of 26AWG)
- Q10-424 (4 conductors of 24AWG)
- Q10-422 (4 conductors of 22AWG)
- Q10-420 (4 conductors of 20AWG)
- Q10-526 (5 conductors of 26AWG)
- Q10-524 (5 conductors of 24AWG)
- Q10-522 (5 conductors of 22AWG)
- Q10-520 (5 conductors of 20AWG)
RGB hoses
In addition to flat ribbons, there are also hoses with RGB conductors for 4-conductor LED signals, and soon the same hoses will be incorporated in a 5-conductor version. Both in sections of 0.20 and 0.50 mm² and covers in black or white. The color of the inner covers helps to identify the use of each conductor. These hoses have an extra flexible cover and are very pleasant to the touch.
- Q2-572 and Q2-572N (2 conductors of 0.20 mm²)
- Q2-582 and Q2-582N (2 conductors of 0.50 mm²)
- Q2-582HF and Q2-582NHF (2 conductors of 0.50 mm² FRLSZH)
- Q2-570 and Q2-570N (4 conductors of 0.20 mm²)
- Q2-580 and Q2-580N (4 conductors of 0.50 mm²)
- Q2-575 and Q2-575N (5 conductors of 0.20 mm²)
- Q2-585 and Q2-585N (5 conductors of 0.50 mm²)
Transparent parallel cables
For the connection of single-color LEDs, this transparent parallel series is available in different sections according to each need. One of the two conductors is marked with a white line to identify its polarity. Flexible and attractive design cables, pleasant to the eye, to be placed on any surface or location.
- Q600/022 (0.22 mm²)
- Q600/050 (0.50 mm²)
- Q600/075 (0.75 mm²)
- Q600/150 (1.50 mm²)
Hose with transparent covers
Transparent hoses formed by slightly twisted tinned copper conductors inside, which together with the PVC used gives the cable great flexibility. Versions with sections of 0.50 and 0.75 mm² are available. One of the two conductors is marked with a white line to identify its polarity. Also noteworthy is its attractive and elegant design.
- Q295/050 (0.50 mm²)
- Q295/075 (0.75 mm²)
