Use the planning grid found in Step to of the Low Voltage Planning Guide to complete your cable layout plan.

The chart above will tell you the correct size cable to use, depending on the length of your runs.
Using too small of wire gauge can lead to a fire hazard
Prepare the Cable
Malibu cable is prepared, ready to connect to the power pack. If using other cable, split one end of the cable for about 3", being careful when splitting NOT to expose the copper wire. Then strip 5/8" of insulation from the end. Also, refer to the Strip Length Guide on the power pack.
Connect the Cable to the Power Pack
Lay the power pack on a flat, stable surface and insert the stripped end of one wire under terminal clamping plate A. Then tighten the screw. Repeat this procedure for clamping plate B. Do not exceed the wattage rating of the power pack. NOTE: The C terminal is ONLY used to connect an optional photo control. WARNING - RISK OF FIRE: Make sure there is no wire insulation under the clamping plate and firmly tighten the terminal screws.
