Solid State Lighting Cables are specialized electrical components designed to connect and power LED lighting systems efficiently. These cables are integral to the setup of solid state lighting (SSL) applications, providing a reliable electrical pathway that ensures optimal performance and durability of LED technologies. The main function of these cables is to transmit power and sometimes data, depending on the complexity of the lighting system, to LED fixtures from a power source or driver.
The primary use of Solid State Lighting Cables is in architectural lighting, automotive lighting, street lighting, and commercial signage where robust and long-lasting connections are crucial. These cables are characterized by their resistance to temperature variations, mechanical stress, and environmental factors like moisture and UV exposure, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Notable manufacturers of Solid State Lighting Cables include Belden, TE Connectivity, and Molex.
