The Domus PLEX-COB Tuneable IP20 Live Cable Connector is a solderlessstrip-to-driver connector for tuneable-white strip 500mm or 2000mmtail, 5 pack.

Domus HAS a way of saying this does not light on its own 28 listings use it

• Across the catalogue, 28 listings end their title with DRIVER REQUIRED, incapitals COB strips, garden spike lights, path lights and a replaceable-globefitting.
• That is a genuinely good convention. It tells a buyer before they clickthat the product is one part of an assembly.
• It is not applied where it matters most. The Micro, Nova and Omegaaluminium PROFILES need a strip AND a driver two separate purchases and their titles sayneither. A customer can buy one and receive an empty extrusion.
• Nor is it applied to this connector range, which is a third part of thesame assembly. A strip page names no connector; a connector page names no strip; andneither names a driver.
• THE POINT: this is an actionable fix rather than a missing capability. Domus already writes the warning, applies it deliberately, and uses capitals to make itunmissable. Extending it to the profiles and accessories would close the largest singleinformation gap this catalogue has.

A complete tuneable installation four purchases

The conductor count is why this connector is tuneable-specific: single colour needs two conductors, TUNEABLE needs three (a common plus warm and cool), RGBneeds four and RGBTW six. A single-colour connector on a tuneable strip cannot carry thesecond white channel.

IP20 on a strip sold as IP54 and IP67

This connector is IP20 no water protection. An assembly is rated atits weakest point, so put the connection somewhere dry: a cabinet, above a ceiling,behind a sealed panel. Nothing published addresses the combination.

Take the 2000 mm tail

A tuneable run needs a driver AND a controller, which is two pieces ofequipment rather than one. 500mm rarely reaches a position with room forboth. Solderless, a pair of pliers, 4.64kgf pulling force, and it fits inside theprofile.

Made to order and the cut to length part is not about this product

Domus flags this as made to order, so it is not held on a shelf. No lead timeis published. Call our team to confirm before ordering. We will. The flag also says cut to length, from a generic sentence about the STRIP a connector cannot be cut to length.

What is published

Where it works

• Terminating tuneable strip on site no iron needed.
• Feed points inside the profile.
• Where the driver and controller are up to 2m away.
• Not in a wet position IP20.
• Not on a single-colour or RGB strip wrong conductor count.

Specifying it

Solderless IP20 live cable connector for PLEX-COB tuneable-white LED strip, 5 pack. 500mm or2000mm tail. Pliers only. Pulling force 4.64kgf. Fits inside the profile. 28 DOMUS TITLES END WITH “DRIVER REQUIRED” IN CAPITALS so the convention for saying “thisdoes not light on its own” EXISTS, is applied deliberately, and is written to be unmissable. IT IS NOTAPPLIED TO THE PROFILES, which need a strip AND a driver and say neither, nor to this connector range,which is a third part of the same assembly. That makes it an actionable fix rather than a missingcapability extending it would close the largest single information gap this cataloguehas.

Questions

Does Domus flag products that need a driver?

On 28 listings, yes their titles end with “DRIVER REQUIRED” in capitals: COB strips, garden spike lights, path lights and a replaceable-globe fitting. It is a genuinely good convention, because it tells a buyer before they click that the product is one part of an assembly.

So where is it missing?

Where it matters most. The Micro, Nova and Omega aluminium profiles need a strip and a driver two separate purchases and their titles say neither, so a customer can buy one and receive an empty extrusion. Nor is it applied to this connector range, which is a third part of the same assembly. A strip page names no connector, a connector page names no strip, and neither names a driver.

Why does that matter?

Because it makes this an actionable fix rather than a missing capability. Domus already writes the warning, applies it deliberately, and uses capitals to make it unmissable. Extending it to the profiles and accessories would close the largest single information gap this catalogue has.

What does a complete tuneable installation need?

Four purchases: the strip, this connector, a 24V driver sized on the run at 20W per metre, and a controller because tuneable is two channels and they have to be mixed. Only the strip and the connector are on their own pages; the driver is named nowhere and the controller only on some listings.

Why is the connector tuneable-specific?

Conductor count. Single colour needs two conductors, tuneable needs three a common plus warm and cool RGB needs four and RGBTW six. A single-colour connector on a tuneable strip cannot carry the second white channel, so the variants are not interchangeable.

The connector is IP20 but my strip is IP54 does that matter?

It does if the connection sits anywhere wet. An assembly is rated at its weakest point, so an IP20 connector gives you an unrated joint in a rated run. Put the connection somewhere dry a cabinet, above a ceiling, behind a sealed panel. Nothing published addresses the combination.

Which tail length?

The 2000mm. A tuneable run needs a driver and a controller, which is two pieces of equipment rather than one, and 500mm rarely reaches a position with room for both. The connector is solderless a pair of pliers with a published 4.64 kgf pulling force, and it fits inside the profile.
