Prescot TLWY5050 — RGB multi-core cable 5 × 0.5 mm² is designed for low-voltage RGB lighting and LED strip installations. The cable contains five separate conductors with a cross-sectional area of 0.5 mm² each, arranged to provide dedicated lines for red, green, blue and a common/clock conductor where required by RGB controllers. Its compact multi-core construction simplifies wiring between controllers, LED strips and distribution points in indoor applications and modular lighting systems.
Advantages
The Prescot TLWY5050 cable offers consistent conductor size across all cores, ensuring predictable voltage drop and current capability for short to medium runs typical in decorative and accent lighting. Its five-core layout reduces the need for multiple single-core runs, saving installation time and making cable routing neater. The cable is intended for indoor use and works with common low-voltage RGB controllers and LED strips, enabling straightforward connection of color channels and a shared return or clock line.
Suitable for
- Indoor LED strip lighting installations with separate R, G, B and common/clock connections
- Connections between RGB controllers and LED modules in residential or commercial interiors
- Modular lighting systems and short to medium cable runs where compact multi-core cable is preferred
Key specifications
- Number of cores: 5 conductors
- Conductor cross-section: 0.5 mm² per core
- Color allocation: separate cores for red, green, blue and common/clock
- Application: low-voltage RGB lighting and LED strip wiring
- Installation environment: indoor use
How to use
Strip the outer sheath and individual conductor insulation to the required length, taking care not to damage conductor strands. Connect the RGB cores to the corresponding color outputs of the controller (R, G, B) and the remaining core to the common or clock terminal as needed by the LED system. Ensure secure screw or soldered connections and maintain correct polarity. Route the cable away from heat sources and sharp edges, and secure it with appropriate clips or cable ties to prevent strain on terminations.
Usage recommendations
For runs longer than typical short interior distances, check voltage drop calculations and, if necessary, use thicker conductors or additional feed points. Verify compatibility of the controller and LED strips with a 0.5 mm² conductor size and adhere to local electrical and safety regulations during installation.
