One of the most common causes of underperforming garden lighting is cabling that wasn't planned properly — runs that are too long, connections that corrode, or cable buried without the right protection. Getting the infrastructure right from the start saves significant headaches later.
For low-voltage landscape lighting systems, the cable between your transformer and your fixtures is doing quiet but critical work. Voltage drop — the gradual loss of power over distance — becomes a real issue beyond certain run lengths. Using the correct gauge cable (14 AWG in this case, meaning a thicker conductor that resists voltage drop more effectively) keeps your fixtures performing consistently from the first to the last fitting on the run.
The In-Lite CBL-25 14/2 is a 12-volt, two-core low-voltage outdoor cable designed specifically for use within the In-Lite landscape lighting ecosystem. With a maximum linear run of 40 metres between transformer and fixture, it provides a reliable power distribution backbone for residential garden and commercial outdoor lighting installations. The black, weather-resistant outer insulation jacket is rated for direct burial — meaning it can be laid under a layer of soil or paving without additional conduit in standard landscape applications.
The cable arrives as a neat coil with a cardboard packaging sleeve, and is supplied complete with cable caps — the connectors used to make weatherproof joins between cable and fixture. This keeps your installation kit consolidated and reduces the chance of missing components on site.
For installation guidance specific to In-Lite system layouts — including how to branch, loop, or daisy-chain runs — refer to the In-Lite system page linked at the top of the menu. Adhering to the 40-metre maximum run length is essential for maintaining consistent lumen output across all connected fixtures.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we support landscape lighting projects from initial layout planning through to component specification and delivery. Pairing the right cable gauge and run length with the correct transformer capacity is the kind of value engineering that prevents costly remedial work — and we're here to help you get it right first time.
