The company is based in the United States. What matters is where it's made, or if it is made in a certain place. There is no problem with the product.
It has worked great for me for a number of 12 volt lighting systems all using LED lights. I'd recommend the 12/2 wire for large loads, or for prewiring during construction, so that you can add lighting, appliances, etc in the future, and not worry about
This cable needs to be rated for the voltage and have an integral ground cable built into it. Romex 14 gauge 2wire with ground should be used.

LEDs were chosen as the outdoor lighting source because of their low voltage. The sunvie 12w lights (10 pack) and another brand of 14/2 cable were purchased from Amazon. Simple installation and the cables can be separated so that the led connectors are able to be attached. As a result I went with this option instead of buying another 10 lights since I couldn't get the same 14/2 cable in time. Due to the difficulty at separating the cables to put the connectors in, it took a good deal of time to put them in and I ended up having to wrap some bare wire that I would sometimes accidentally expose. I gave it three stars because it works and does its job, and the cable seems well insulated from the elements. However, I wouldn't buy it.
I live in Northeast Minnesota, where it's pitch black when it's getting dark at night. Patriot lighting is installed along the stone pathway (25 ft. We made our way along the ledge rock 30 somewhat meandering yards) to avoid plummeting over the edge. The lights in one section of the house went out, so I assumed the transformer was faulty. It was not the transformer that was the problem, it was something else. The ground was already a bit frozen, so I pulled out a few embedded cables, tested the sections closer and closer to the transformer until voltage was obtained (about 3 feet away), and obtained We have resolved the issue. I am only concerned that I cannot bury the cable any more so that when the snows come, I will have to be cautious with shovels and snowblowers in some areas. Upon opening the box, the cable appears sturdy and the order arrived promptly. I am satisfied with both the product and the.
I was amazed at how low this price was. . Delivery within 24 hours! The price on cable wire I could find was the best I could find after shopping around. My husband installed more than 20 outdoor lights for our pool patio. Having an electrician for a husband, he knew what he was doing and wanted a great product. A plus is the fast shipping through Amazon Prime, as he needed it as soon as possible.
A new wire was installed here replacing an old wire installed by previous Because it was over 15 years old, and it was outside in the Northwest elements, I decided to replace It's amazing how much difference there is. Our electricity bill has decreased since we installed the lighting, and the lights are brighter than they have ever been.
The wire has to be pierced by finger force only when using connectors like this). However, the connectors still fit into this plastic feeling wire, so it is still usable.
When it comes to wiring, you should never cut corners. In 15 feet of a transformer are already three low voltage lights on one set. I intend to run 6 more lights on this wire over a distance of 65 ft. Wires made with this material have been proven to be more durable than those made with other materials. I live in Wisconsin, so the weather isn't great all year long. I found the price on Amazon to be unbeatable - $16 more at a big box store for the same exact gauge and brand of wire. The wire holds up nicely in the elements with the help of this wire.
The lighting system that comes with Malibu uses this item. I think this wiring is slightly thicker gauge than the Malibu wiring. In the beginning, we were unable to make it The only problem was that my husband (who has an Associates Degree in electronics) thought the connectors were not properly penetrated the wire. He shaved the black sheathing and all of the lights started up soon after. The results are in!.
There is a good cable package and it's cheaper than buying from the big box store. Despite using top of the line wire strippers, I cannot seem to get the cable stripped easily. Apart from that, I have no idea. The cable is very good. For the installation of my landscape lights I used it.
