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 o 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 insucient power supply will not light the system to its
full potential or may cause it to icker.
Connectors
Measure each section and adjust your project to determine the
connectors you will use. Each connector has been designed for a
specic 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 ve mounting solutions.

2.4 Mounting Options
When installing the CabLED strip, select one of the six mounting solutions designed for the
8000 Series. The number of brackets or length of channeling depends upon the total quantity of
CabLED in the installation. Plan on using a bracket next to each connector in all sections and then
spaced evenly between 12 to 16 inches (31 to 41cm) apart.
Under Cabinets
When mounting under cabinets, position CabLED strip to get the desired lighting eect.
Cove Lighting
When utilized for cove lighting, position CabLED so it indirectly lights the area.
Path Lighting
When mounting along paths, use the Garden Stake and adjust light at an angle. Use with
Channeling for additional support.
NOTE: For best eect, mount CabLED at least 1.5 inches (4cm) away from the wall.
Mounting Options: Garden Stake with or without Channelling
Mounting Options: Channel Bracket or Channeling

The Jumper Cable connects two CabLED strips with a exible cable. They are available with 2",
4”, 6”, 12”, 24” and 40” cables. Use the shorter lengths for connecting two CabLED strips at any
angle, or when the strips do not meet at 90 degree angles after being centered to a section.
The medium lengths are often used for stairs, running strips parallel with each other with space
cabinets with an appliance between them, extending the system behind a larger area.

6.1 Mark Placement for Brackets
When installing the CabLED strip, select one of the six IP65 mounting solutions designed to be
used with the 8000 Series for either indoors or outdoors. Plan on using a bracket next to each
connector on the end of each strip in each section and then spaced evenly between 12 to 16
inches (31-41cm) apart. Allow a half inch to clear each connector.

Make sure power supply is plugged in and the AC power outlet is •
receiving power.
Check connection from PS-Link Connector to the power supply.•
Check the connection on the PS-Link Connector to the CabLED strip. •
Pull the strip. If it comes out of the connector, you will need a new
connector.
Only part of the

Check all connectors attached to the part of the strip that is not lit. Pull •
the CabLED strip. If it comes out of the connector, you will need a new
connector.

Check the specications for the power supply to ensure it supports the •
length of CabLED you are using. Select the appropriate strength or
install an additional power supply to support your installation.
LED strip not cut
exactly on cut
line
Depending on how you cut the strip, you may still be able to save that •
section. The cutting tolerance is about +/-3 mm (+/- 1/8 inch) on either
side of the cut line. Cutting in a straight line is crucial and the two wires
inside the strip must be pushed to the very end inside the connector to
make contact with the pins.
Go to the cut line before the cut line you incorrectly cut and make the •
section shorter. You may be able to adjust your layout by rearranging the
sections.
Contact our Customer Service Department to purchase additional •
CabLED strip. You can use an I-Connector to connect the additional
strip.
Connectors
pushed
together before
installation
If you pushed the connector top into the bottom before installation •
or if the CabLED strip was not pushed completely to the end of the
connector and did not secure the strip, you may be able to save the part.
Use a at screw driver to gently widen the sides of the top connector and
push the bottom connector apart. NOTE: This may not x the connector
and you will need to use a new connector.
