12 INCH LINKING CABLE

12 INCH LINKING CABLE

SKU: RP-LBI65-LC-12IN-DIM

Brand: LIGHT EFFICIENT DESIGN

Need to jump from one LED bar to the next without fighting a rat's nest of wire? The 12 INCH LINKING CABLE (SKU RP-LBI65-LC-12IN-DIM) from LIGHT EFFICIENT DESIGN is the short, tidy jumper that ties your LBI 65 linear LED bars together into one continuous run. People call it a linking cable, a jumper cable, a fixture-to-fixture connector cable or simply an LED connector cable — whatever you call it, its job is the same: carry power and control from one bar to the next so your row of fixtures behaves like a single luminaire. At 12 inches, it bridges obstacles a rigid end-to-end connector can't handle: a beam, a duct, a sprinkler line, a joist, or a deliberate gap you want between light bars.

This cable is part of the LBI 65 accessories family of cables and connectors, offered in 6IN, 12IN, 24IN and 48IN lengths — this one being the 12-inch version. The "DIM" in the part number tells you it is the dimming-capable linking cable, so the control wiring travels with the power from bar to bar. One important planning note straight from the manufacturer's data: linking cables will lower connectable quantities, and linking does not include 0-10V linked control — that will depend on your controlling device. Linking numbers published for the system are based on using the LBI 65 conduit adapter and fixtures connected end to end, with up to 40 bars at 208V, 240V and 277V for 2FT and 3FT bars, and 33 bars at 120V for 4FT bars.

Contractors reach for this 12-inch jumper in warehouses, workshops, parking garages, cold storage, grow spaces, car washes, garages and back-of-house corridors across Canada — anywhere LBI 65 bars get mounted in long rows and the structure refuses to cooperate. It works with the rest of the LBI 65 kit: feed your run with the 3 ft incoming power cable wire whip, close the gaps with the in-line seamless connector RP-LBI-SSC-CCTDIM-10P, or stretch further between bars with the 48 inch linking cable. Order the lengths your layout actually needs and wire the whole row in one pass.

What this cable does in your run
The RP-LBI65-LC-12IN-DIM is a 12-inch linking cable built for the LBI 65 linear LED bar system. Instead of butting fixtures directly end to end, you plug this jumper between two bars and gain a foot of freedom. That single foot is often the difference between a clean, straight row of light and a compromised layout, because it lets you step around structural steel, hangers, pipes and sprinkler heads while keeping every bar on the same circuit and the same control line. Because it is a factory-made cable with matched connectors, there is no field splicing, no wire nuts and no guesswork about polarity — you connect, you hear it seat, you move to the next bar.

Dimming and control
The DIM suffix in the part number identifies this as the dimming linking cable version, carrying the control conductors along with power so the connected bars respond together. Read the manufacturer's note carefully when you plan a large installation: linking does not include 0-10V linked control, and how your dimming behaves down the run will depend on the controlling device you specify. Likewise, using linking cables will lower the connectable quantity of bars in a single run compared to a straight end-to-end assembly, so count your jumpers before you commit to a run length.

Accessories it lives with
Think of this jumper as one piece of a small kit of LBI 65 cables and connectors. Power enters the run through the RP-LBI65-IP-3FT incoming power cable wire whip, or through the incoming power conduit adapter RP-LBI65-IPC-12NPT-3FT when the feed has to be hardwired into a fixture or junction box with conduit. Where bars sit tight together, the CCT in-line seamless connector keeps the line unbroken, while the non-dimming seamless connector covers non-dimming and non-CCT control applications. For suspended rows, the stainless steel waterproof aircraft suspension cable hangs the bars at the height you want. Need a bigger gap between fixtures? Step up to the 48 inch linking cable.

Applications and documentation
This LED jumper cable earns its keep in Canadian industrial and commercial projects: a warehouse aisle where racking uprights dictate fixture spacing, a service garage with overhead doors and tracks in the way, an underground parking level full of ducts, a grow room where bars sit above equipment, or a retrofit where the existing strip fixtures never lined up with the new layout. Buy a mix of lengths — 6IN, 12IN, 24IN and 48IN — and an installer can adapt on the spot instead of re-drilling hangers.
