VERTICAL CABLE 213-166ST/5BK – LED CL3 RATED CABLE

The 213-166ST/5BK is an LED cable designed for powering landscape lighting, LED strips, and architectural lighting installations. This LED cable features six 16 AWG stranded bare copper conductors with color-coded PVC insulation and a durable black PVC jacket. CL3-rated for in-wall residential use and ETL-Listed, this LED cable delivers reliable power distribution for outdoor, signage, and decorative lighting applications.

KEY FEATURES

Here’s what makes the 213-166ST/5BK ideal for LED and low-voltage lighting installations:

16 AWG Stranded Bare Copper: Six stranded conductors (26 × 0.254 mm stranding) provide flexibility and solid current-carrying capacity.
6-Conductor Configuration: Supports multi-zone lighting control, RGB+W LED strips, and complex lighting layouts.
CL3 Rated: Meets NEC requirements for in-wall residential installations without conduit.
Color-Coded Conductors: Black, blue, green, red, yellow, and white insulation for easy circuit identification.
Durable PVC Jacket: Black PVC jacket protects against moisture, UV exposure, and physical damage.
Integrated Ripcord: Easy jacket removal for efficient termination.
Compact Design: Smaller 0.29 in. (7.4 mm) outer diameter for easier routing in tight spaces.
Wide Temperature Range: Rated for operation from -20°C to +75°C for outdoor and indoor use.
300V Voltage Rating: Adequate for low-voltage LED lighting and control applications.
ETL-Listed and RoHS Compliant: Third-party verified for safety and environmental compliance.
500 ft Spool: Professional spool packaging for efficient installation on larger projects.

APPLICATIONS

The 213-166ST/5BK LED cable excels in residential and commercial lighting installations:

Landscape Lighting: Power pathway lights, garden fixtures, and accent lighting throughout outdoor spaces.
Deck and Patio Lighting: Install low-voltage lighting in outdoor living and entertainment areas.
LED Strip Lighting: Connect RGB, RGBW, and multi-color LED strip installations requiring multiple conductors.
Architectural Lighting: Power decorative and accent lighting in commercial and residential buildings.
Signage Lighting: Install illuminated signs, channel letters, and display lighting for retail and commercial applications.

WHY CHOOSE THE 213-166ST/5BK LED CABLE?

Professionals choose the 213-166ST/5BK for its reliable power distribution and multi-conductor flexibility in a compact, lightweight design. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next project:

Multi-Conductor Flexibility – Six color-coded conductors support complex lighting layouts, RGB+W strips, and multi-zone control in a single cable run.
CL3 In-Wall Rated – Meets NEC requirements for in-wall residential installations without conduit, simplifying indoor runs.
Compact Profile – Smaller outer diameter than 14 AWG versions makes routing easier in tight spaces and conduits.
Durable Construction – PVC jacket withstands outdoor conditions, UV exposure, and temperature extremes from -20°C to +75°C.
Verified Quality – ETL-Listed for safety assurance in residential and commercial lighting installations.

WHAT’S NEXT

Once you’ve specified the 213-166ST/5BK for your project:

Calculate Voltage Drop – Verify 16 AWG is adequate for run length and total wattage; consider upgrading to 14 AWG for longer runs or higher loads.
Plan Conductor Assignments – Map out which conductor colors will carry power, ground, and control signals before installation.
Use Weatherproof Connections – Protect outdoor splices and connections with weatherproof junction boxes or direct burial splice kits.
Follow NEC Guidelines – Maintain proper installation practices for CL3 cable in accordance with local codes.
