RGB WIRE FOR LED STRIPS (1 METER)

RGB WIRE FOR LED STRIPS (1 METER)

SKU: RGBWR1M

Brand: LED MONTREAL

Every LED strip project eventually hits a gap — a range hood, a corner, a doorway, a cabinet run that stops and starts again — and that is exactly what this wire is made for. The RGB Wire for LED Strips (1 meter) from LED Montreal is the four-conductor extension wire (black, green, red and blue) that carries power and colour signal from one section of LED strip lighting to the next, without a visible line of light in between. People look for it as RGB extension wire, colour-changing strip wire, four-wire lead, connector wire or simply jumper wire for led light strips, and it does all of that. Use it to bypass an obstacle, to jump from one cabinet to another, to reach a controller or driver tucked inside a cabinet, or simply to extend an existing run further than the reel allows.

The wire is sold by the meter in continuous length, so the quantity you order is the length you receive in one piece: order five units of 1 meter and you get a single 5 meter RGB wire, not five separate pieces. The four conductors are bonded together side by side, which keeps the run tidy, easy to staple or tuck into a channel, and easy to identify at both ends — black for the common, then green, red and blue for the three colour channels. Because the colours are already grouped and marked, wiring mistakes are far less likely when you are working upside down under a cabinet or behind a valance. And here is the useful part many people miss: this same wire works perfectly with single colour LED strips. A single colour strip only needs two conductors, so you can split the four-wire cable and cover two runs — meaning you only need to order half of your total required length.

This is a go-to for kitchen cabinet lighting that has to jump a stove fan or an exhaust hood, for toe-kick and cove lighting that wraps a room, for staircases, bar fronts, display cases, retail shelving and signage. Contractors keep it on the truck; homeowners renovating a kitchen usually discover they need it halfway through the install. It is suitable for both residential and commercial projects. Pick up the length you need — SKU RGBWR1M — and finish your strip layout the clean way.

What it is and how it is built
The RGB Wire for LED Strips is a four-conductor cable designed specifically for colour-changing LED strip installations. The four wires — black, green, red and blue — are bonded together into a single flat ribbon-style cable, so instead of managing four loose strands across a cabinet run, you pull one tidy cable and separate only the last few centimetres at each end. The colour coding is the whole point: black is your common conductor, and green, red and blue match the R, G and B channels of the strip and the controller. That makes both ends of the run self-documenting, which matters a lot when the two ends are three meters apart and one of them is behind a valance.

Sold continuous, by the meter
This item is sold in 1 meter increments and cut as one continuous length. If you order five units of 1 meter, you receive a single 5 meter RGB extension wire rather than five separate 1 meter pieces. Measure the full path the wire has to travel — around the corner, up the cabinet side, behind the crown moulding — and add a little slack for the connection points rather than measuring a straight line between two strips. Ordering the real routed distance is the difference between a clean install and a second trip.

Works with single colour strips too
A single colour LED strip only needs two conductors — positive and negative. Because this cable carries four, you can use it on single colour runs and get two circuits out of one cable, or simply use two of the four conductors and cap the others. Practically, that means for single colour work you only need to order half of your total required length. Many installers keep RGB wire on hand for exactly this reason: one product covers colour-changing runs, single colour runs, and the jumper leads between a driver, a controller and the first strip section.

Where it earns its keep
The classic use is under-cabinet kitchen lighting, where the strip has to stop at a range hood or a stove fan and pick up again on the other side. Without a jumper wire you either get a dark gap with a dangling connector or an awkward visible splice. Same story with cove lighting that turns a corner, toe-kick lighting that crosses a dishwasher, staircase risers, closet and pantry runs, display cases, bar and counter fronts, retail shelving and backlit signage. In commercial work it is also how you get from a discreetly located power supply inside a cabinet or ceiling void out to the first section of LED strip lighting without showing any hardware in the finished space.

Installation notes
Keep the wire run as short as the layout allows and match your conductor assignments at both ends — black to black, then green, red and blue to their matching channels — so the colours stay consistent along the whole installation. Route the cable inside an aluminum channel, behind trim or through a cabinet gable so it stays hidden and protected, and secure it so it is not pulling on the solder pads or connector at either end. Order quantity equals length in meters, and the SKU for this item is RGBWR1M.
