No, this is not necessary. The cable connector (CC-2) and Easy-Lock connector can be placed on or under the surface. The special gel protects the connection from moisture and other external influences. Read more about this on the Installation Tips page.

A different cable (14/2 or 10/2 cable) can be connected to every output (connection) on the transformer.

There are two types of cables in the product range, the 14/2 and the 10/2. The numbers indicate the thickness from the copper inside the cable. The 10/2 cable contains more copper than the 14/2 cable, which is almost impossible to see from the outside. A cable with a higher quantity of copper makes it possible to install fixtures over a longer distance. That is why the 14/2 cable enables a maximum cable length (with linear installation) of 40 meters, while the 10/2 cable enables a maximum cable length (with linear installation) of 80 meters. Want to learn more about the linear installation of the cable? See our blog on cables.

Our blog provides instructions on making a cable plan.

The main cable or a branch has been punctured. If the main cable or a branch has been punctured, it is advisable to cut the cable completely. Depending on the situation, you can either reconnect the two cable ends using a cable connector (CC-2) or place an extra piece of cable using two cable connectors. Remember to always check the total output after a cable break. After installing one cable connector, the fixtures can handle a maximum of 50 VA. If you have connected more than 50 VA of fixtures, use an extra cable connector. When using two cable connectors, the maximum limit is 100 VA of lighting. Add cable caps to the ends for a tidy finish. The extension cord has been punctured. If the extension cord has been punctured, it can be easily replaced with a new extension cord. The extension cord is available in several lengths and can be found in the System category (CBL EXT CRD). The light cable has been punctured. If the cable attached to the fixture has been punctured, contact our Customer Service Department for advice.

Absolutely. Use the WATERLOCK accessory. The WATERLOCK lets you repair cut fixture cables. To fix the cable, perform the following steps: 1. First make sure that the power supply to the cable is switched off. 2. Use small 4/6 mm² screw terminals no larger than 18 mm x 12 mm x 16 mm. 3. Cut the cable to size using cable cutters or a wire stripper. Is the cable damaged? Cut past the damaged section. 4. Use a fitting screwdriver to loosen the screws on one side of the screw terminal. 5. Insert the copper cable wire on one side of the screw terminal. 6. When connecting, make sure the entire copper wire is inside the screw terminal, so that only the plastic casing is visible. 7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other cable. Important: Connect the right colors of the screw terminal together. 8. Tighten the screws again. 9. Place the screw terminal in the middle of the WATERLOCK. It is filled with gel to ensure a 100% waterproof connection. 10. Close the WATERLOCK securely, making sure you hear a “click”. Important: The WATERLOCK cannot be used to repair in-lite main cables (CBL 14/2 and CBL 10/2).
