- Five wires in one sheath: the five conductors of an RGBW strip, the common positive and the red, green, blue and white channels, run inside a single white outer sheath.
- Five different colours: the conductors are black, green, red, blue and white: identify each wire at a glance and use the same colour for the same pin.
- 22 AWG cross-section: each conductor has a cross-section of 0.34 mm² (22 AWG) and is made up of fine strands, keeping the cable flexible so it bends without breaking.
- Electrolytic copper: conductors made of CU-ETP1 annealed electrolytic copper in accordance with DIN EN 13602, offering good electrical conductivity with low resistance.
- Double insulation: each wire has its own flame-retardant PVC insulation, and the outer PVC sheath adds extra protection along the entire cable run.
- Sheath markings: the sheath is printed with AWM 2464, E350945, VW-1, AWM I A, FT1, LF and 22 AWG, with insulation ratings of 80 °C and 300 V.
- Round and tidy: a single round cable instead of five loose wires: it runs neatly through cable trunking, along skirting boards and behind furniture, even where it remains visible.
- 1, 3 or 5 metres: choose the length you need from 1, 3 and 5 metres: a short length for a nearby connection, or a longer one to position the controller further away.
- Unterminated ends: the cable comes without connectors: remove the sheath, strip approximately 5 mm of insulation from the wires and solder them to the strip, or secure them in the controller's terminals.
- Strip extension: use it as an extension cable between the strip and the RGBW controller, to continue the strip around a corner or to run it from one piece of furniture to another.
- For LEDs and more: designed for 12 and 24 V RGBW LED strips, it is also suitable for other low-voltage five-wire applications, such as lamps and small appliances.
- Even lighting: with high-power strips and long runs, keep the cable as short as possible and supply power at multiple points to maintain even lighting all the way to the end.
- Passive accessory: no app, no protocol: the cable does not connect to WiFi. Strip, controller and power supply sold separately.

22 AWG 5-Pin RGBW LED Strip Cable: Five colored wires in one round cable
The 5-pin RGBW LED strip cable with sleeve connects an RGBW strip to its controller, or two strip sections together, and brings the five wires of the common positive and the red , green , blue and white channels into a single round cable. The conductors are black, green, red, blue and white, each 0.34 mm² (22 AWG) in stranded electrolytic copper, with its own flame-retardant PVC insulation. Above is a white PVC outer jacket that holds them together and protects them along the entire path. The ends are free, without connectors, and you can use it as an extension cable. It is available in three lengths: 1, 3 or 5 meters .
How to connect to the strip in five steps, without connectors
The cable has no connectors: it is soldered to the strip in five steps, as shown in the image. First, solder the pads on the edge of the strip. Then, remove a few centimeters of the outer sheath , without cutting into the insulation of the wires underneath, and strip each wire by about 5 mm . Solder the ends of the conductors and solder them to the pads, using the same color for the same pin from one end of the cable to the other: follow the abbreviations printed on the strip and on the controller. If you prefer not to solder, you can tighten the wires into the controller's terminals or use a 5-pin RGBW quick connector .
Where to use it: Gaming stations, home theaters, kitchens, and shops
The cable is useful where the strip is far from the controller or power supply. In a gaming setup, it carries the channels from the desk to the strip behind the monitor; in a home theater , it connects the strip under the TV stand to the controller hidden inside. In the kitchen, it connects the strips under cabinets and shelves; in a shop , it brings light to display cases and displays. The outer sheath also makes it suitable for exposed areas, where five loose wires would be messy. To control the colors and white from the app, you need a controller, such as the Tuya WiFi RGBW controller . The cable works at low voltage, not on the home's electrical system.
Same 0.34mm² construction with 2, 4, 5 and 6 wires for each strip type
The same construction, with 0.34 mm² conductors and an external sheath, is available with 2 wires for single-color strips, 4 wires for RGB strips, 5 wires for RGBW strips (like this one), and 6 wires for RGB+CCT strips, as shown in the image. This version has a white sheath and five conductors: black, green, red, blue, and white. If you prefer a flat cable without an external sheath, there's also a 5-pin flat cable for RGBW LED strips , with the same five colors and the same cross-section. To connect it to the strip without soldering, you can use a 5-pin RGBW strip-to-power connector of the right width for your strip.
Flame retardant PVC insulation and data printed on the sheath
Each conductor has its own flame-retardant PVC insulation, and the PVC outer jacket adds a second layer around the five wires. The cable ratings are printed on the jacket: AWM 2464, E350945, VW-1, AWM IA, FT1, LF, 22 AWG, 80°C, and 300V . AWM 2464 is the UL-approved style for multi-core jacketed cables, VW-1 and FT1 are flame-tested to ensure the cable will not spread fire, and LF indicates a lead-free compound. The 80°C and 300V ratings are the temperature and voltage ratings of the insulation. The PVC remains soft and can be stripped with a standard wire stripper.
CU-ETP1 electrolytic copper and PVC jacket for a robust and flexible cable
The conductors are made of annealed electrolytic copper CU-ETP1 , compliant with DIN EN 13602 : this high-purity copper conducts current well with low resistance, and annealing makes it soft. Each wire is made of fine strands, so the cable can bend into corners and tight spaces without breaking. The outer sheath keeps the five wires neatly organized and protects them from impacts and chafing, such as when the cable runs behind furniture or through a hole. With powerful strips and long runs, keep the cable as short as possible and provide power from multiple points. Among the accessories and connectors for LED strips, you'll find terminals, connectors, and power supplies.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the five wires for?
They carry the five pins of an RGBW LED strip: the common positive and the red, green, blue and white channels.
How do I match wire colors to pins?
Follow the markings printed on the strip and on the controller and always use the same color for the same pin, from one end of the cable to the other.
What cross-section do the conductors have?
0.34 mm², i.e. 22 AWG. The conductors are made of stranded annealed electrolytic copper CU-ETP1.
What is the outer sheath for?
It holds the five wires together in a single round cable and protects them from bumps and chafing: it is tidier in the exposed sections and in the channels.
Does the cable have connectors?
No. The ends are free: remove the sheathing, strip the wires for about 5 mm and solder them to the strip, clamp them into the controller terminals or plug them into a 5-pin quick connector.
What lengths are there?
1, 3, or 5 meters. The length can be chosen from the product versions.
Is this suitable for 12V and 24V strips?
Yes. The cable carries the power supply voltage as is, whether 12V or 24V.
How do I avoid light drops on long distances?
Keep the cable as short as possible, and with powerful or long strips, bring power from multiple points on the strip.
Is this okay for a 4 pin RGB strip?
Yes. You use four conductors and leave the fifth free, insulating its end. For RGB strips, there is also the 4-pin RGB LED strip cable .
Can it be used outside?
Yes, if it is protected: outside, run it through a sheath or conduit and protect the joints well from water.
Can I use it for 230V mains?
No. It is a thin 0.34 mm² cable, made for the low voltage circuits of LED strips: 230 V home systems require much larger cross-section cables.
Do you need an app or a hub?
No. It's a passive cable: the smart functions depend on the controller you connect the strip to.
