Product SKU: BHL-EXT-5FT

xConnect extension cables for permanent LED lights bridge gaps between compatible system components without splicing. Each black cable uses 3-conductor 18 AWG wire with male and female xConnect ends and supports BHL 12V and 24V lighting systems.

Common uses

xConnect extension cables for permanent LED lights

  • Bridge roofline gaps Route around garages, porches, patios, dormers, and other unlighted transitions.
  • Reach system components Connect compatible lights, controllers, pigtails, or power-injection points.
  • Male-to-female connection Preserve the xConnect connection path without cutting the factory ends.
  • 12V and 24V compatible Use with either voltage when every component in the system matches the selected system voltage.

Planning guidance

Choose the shortest practical extension

Plan cable routing before mounting track. Use the shortest length that reaches cleanly while leaving enough slack for connection and service. Extension length is part of the complete electrical and data path, so there is no single maximum distance that applies to every layout.

Longer gaps and combined cable runs can contribute to voltage drop or an unstable LED data signal. If lights dim or change color toward the end of a run, review power distribution and consider a Power Injection T. If the problem is data instability across a long gap, consider an LED Data Booster. Contact BHL when planning an unusually long transition.

Installation

Connecting an xConnect extension cable

  1. Disconnect power before changing any connection.
  2. Confirm the system voltage and connector direction.
  3. Align the male and female xConnect ends without forcing the pins.
  4. Seat the connection fully and tighten the threaded collar by hand.
  5. Route the cable without sharp bends, pinching, or tension at either connector.
  6. Restore power and test the lights before permanently concealing the cable.

The page does not publish a separate cable waterproof rating. Properly seat and secure compatible xConnect ends, and protect all connections according to the installation environment.

FAQs

xConnect extension cable questions

What lengths are available?

Choose a 5FT or 10FT cable. Multiple cables can be part of a planned system, but longer combined runs require attention to power and data quality.

Do these work with both 12V and 24V systems?

Yes. The cable supports BHL 12V and 24V systems. Never mix 12V and 24V lights, power supplies, or other voltage-specific components within one system.

What are the wire and connector specifications?

Each cable uses 3-conductor 18 AWG wire with one male and one female xConnect end.

When do I need power injection or a data booster?

Power injection addresses voltage loss along a run; a data booster helps restore the LED data signal across challenging gaps. The correct choice depends on the symptom and layout.
