Advanced Cable Solutions For Outdoor Lighting Cables

In outdoor decorative lighting projects, the lighting cable, as the core carrier connecting the light source and the power supply, directly determines the stability, safety, and lifespan of the lighting system. Facing the challenges of outdoor environments such as wind and rain erosion, alternating high and low temperatures, and complex wiring, choosing the right cable solution is crucial. Zhengfeng Wire&Cable focuses on core products such as the UL SPT series power cables, CCA economic cables, and CCS economic cables, providing professional selection references for outdoor decorative lighting applications.

I. UL SPT Series Flexible Power Cords: Authoritative Guarantee for Outdoor Safety

As a benchmark product certified by UL in the United States, the UL SPT series flexible power cords are the preferred solution for high-safety-level outdoor scenarios. Strictly adhering to the UL 62 standard, they possess excellent weather resistance and insulation performance, operating stably within a temperature range of -30℃ to +60℃, easily coping with rain, snow, humidity, and other harsh weather conditions. In large-scale outdoor light shows, commercial street decorations, and cultural tourism scenic area lighting projects, the UL SPT series demonstrates irreplaceable advantages. Taking the 18AWG specification as an example, its rated voltage reaches 300V and can carry 10A current, meeting the centralized power supply needs of high-density LED light strips. The wire body uses a UV-resistant PVC sheath, and after 5000 hours of accelerated aging testing, no cracking was observed, ensuring an outdoor service life of more than 5 years. For different installation scenarios, the UL SPT series offers sub-models such as SPT-1, SPT-2, and SPT-3: SPT-1 is suitable for low-power string lights (such as Christmas decorative lights), SPT-2 can meet the power supply needs of medium-power wall washer lights, and SPT-3 is suitable for high-power floodlight systems, forming a complete safety protection system.

II. CCA/CCS Economical Wiring: A Cost-Effective Choice for Cost-Sensitive Projects

For small and medium-sized outdoor decoration projects with limited budgets, CCA (copper-clad aluminum) and CCS (copper-clad steel) economical wiring are ideal choices due to their excellent cost control capabilities. Both types of wires utilize a "highly conductive core layer + anti-corrosion coating" structure, reducing material costs by 30%-50% compared to pure copper wire while maintaining basic performance. CCA wire uses aluminum as its base material, coated with high-purity oxygen-free copper, achieving a conductivity of 60% IACS, making it suitable for short-distance wiring applications such as decorative garden lights and park path lighting. Its weight is only 1/3 that of pure copper wire, significantly reducing the construction intensity of high-altitude installations. CCS wire, on the other hand, uses high-strength steel wire as its core, with a copper coating that combines conductivity and mechanical strength, exhibiting outstanding tensile strength, making it particularly suitable for installation environments requiring frequent bending, such as fence lights and string lights. In practical applications, 20AWG CCA wire can meet the power supply requirements of 5050 LED light strips (power ≤12W/m) within 5 meters, while 22AWG CCS wire is suitable for signal transmission of low-voltage landscape lights (12V/24V). Both are RoHS certified, ensuring environmental friendliness. All product lines offer customization services, providing rolls and strips of different lengths to meet the visual needs of various decorative styles. The choice of outdoor decorative lighting wire not only affects the lighting effect but also determines the safety and economy of the project. From UL-certified safety assurance to economical and practical CCA/CCS wires.
