The OEM 12/2 Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Cable is a professional-grade conductor engineered for residential and commercial outdoor lighting systems. Designed for long-lasting reliability, it delivers stable 12V power with minimal voltage drop across extended runs, making it ideal for path lights, garden lights, and decorative landscape fixtures. Its rugged IP68-rated black PVC jacket provides superior protection against moisture, UV radiation, and mechanical stress, ensuring optimal conductivity in any weather condition.
Technical Features
- Premium Conductor Material: Dual-strand oxygen-free copper core (AWG 12/2) ensures superior current transmission and minimal energy loss over distance.
- Weatherproof Construction: IP68-rated PVC insulation offers full protection against water ingress, soil acids, and UV exposure, making it perfect for direct burial applications.
- Flexible & Durable Jacket: Soft-drawn PVC coating maintains pliability in cold temperatures while resisting cracking or abrasion during installation.
- ETL Certified: Meets UL/ETL safety standards for low-voltage landscape cable systems under the AWG standard for 12-gauge two-conductor wire.
- High Compatibility: Works with all major 12V low-voltage lighting systems, including pathway lights, floodlights, spotlights, and decorative landscape fixtures.

Professional FAQs
1) What is 12/2 cable and why is it ideal for landscape lighting?
“12/2” indicates a 12-gauge wire with two conductors—one positive and one negative. The lower gauge number means thicker copper, allowing higher current capacity and lower voltage drop, essential for long landscape lighting runs.
2) Can this cable be buried directly underground?
Yes. The cable features direct-burial PVC insulation (IP68) that protects against soil moisture, corrosion, and impact damage, making it suitable for underground routing without conduit in most installations.
3) What transformer should I pair with this cable?
Use with a UL-listed low-voltage landscape transformer rated no higher than 25 A / 15 V. The transformer steps 120 V AC down to safe 12 V AC or DC, suitable for LED or halogen lighting systems.
4) How far can I run 12/2 cable before voltage drop becomes an issue?
At 12 V with 12 AWG wire, a typical maximum run length is approximately 200 FT per 100 W load. Longer runs may require thicker gauge or parallel wiring to maintain brightness consistency across all fixtures.
5) Is this cable compatible with LED landscape systems?
Yes—perfect for LED or halogen low-voltage fixtures. The pure copper conductor provides stable current flow critical for LED systems with sensitive drivers.
6) Does the outer jacket resist sunlight and temperature changes?
Yes. The black UV-stabilized PVC outer jacket resists cracking and color fading under sunlight, and remains flexible in sub-zero temperatures for year-round reliability.
7) What certifications does this product have?
The cable is ETL listed and compliant with the AWG (American Wire Gauge) standard, ensuring safety, consistency, and verified conductor performance.
8) Can I use this wire for indoor applications?
While it is safe for indoor use, the insulation is optimized for outdoor durability. For in-wall or conduit installations, use UL-rated indoor cables such as NM-B or THHN.
9) How should I terminate the ends?
Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from each conductor and use gel-filled waterproof connectors or crimp-style fittings rated for low-voltage outdoor systems to ensure corrosion-free contact.
10) What is covered under the 10-year warranty?
The warranty covers defects in materials and manufacturing under normal use and environmental conditions. Damage from misuse, improper installation, or third-party connectors is excluded.
The 12/2 Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Cable – 500 FT Roll delivers unmatched performance for residential and commercial garden lighting systems.
