A: These jumper connectors extend the electrical connection between separate sections of compatible 10 mm single-color LED strip lighting. They are useful when LED strips need to continue across cabinets, counters, shelving, stairs, displays, or other gaps where illuminated strip tape is not needed. Each jumper provides 6 ft (1.82 m) of extension.
Q: Which LED strip lights are compatible with these connectors?
A: The connectors are designed for 10 mm SMD 2835 and COB single-color LED strip lights that use a compatible 2-pin connection. They are not designed for 8 mm LED strips or SMD 5050 strips. Check the strip width and contact configuration before connecting to ensure proper fit and polarity.
Q: How long is each LED strip jumper cable?
A: Each jumper cable measures 6 ft, or approximately 1.82 m, providing enough distance to bridge larger gaps between LED strip sections. The package includes two cables, making them suitable for installations requiring multiple separated lighting runs or extensions around cabinets, displays, stairs, and similar architectural features.
Q: Do I need tools to install these LED strip connectors?
A: No specialized tools are required for the connector installation. The jumper uses connectors on both ends designed to attach directly to compatible LED strip sections. Correct polarity is important: the horizontal line marking on the extension wire identifies the negative conductor and should connect to the negative side of the LED strip.
Q: How do I make sure the polarity is connected correctly?
A: Match the negative conductor on the jumper cable with the negative contact on the LED strip. HitLights identifies the horizontal line marking on the extension wire as the negative pole. Maintaining matching positive and negative polarity helps ensure the connected strip sections operate correctly after installation.
Q: Can these jumper connectors be used to bridge gaps between cabinets?
A: Yes. The 6 ft jumper cables are designed to maintain an electrical connection between compatible LED strip sections while allowing unlit space between them. This makes them useful for crossing cabinet dividers, shelving gaps, counters, stairs, displays, and similar areas without installing illuminated LED tape throughout the entire route.
Q: What's included in one package?
A: Each package contains two 6 ft (1.82 m) 10 mm 2-pin LED strip jumper connector cables. Each cable has connectors at both ends for linking compatible sections of 10 mm SMD 2835 or COB single-color LED strip lighting. LED strips and other lighting components are not listed as part of the package.
