One of the most overlooked causes of underperforming landscape lighting is the cable run itself — too thin, too long, or not properly matched to the transformer driving it. Getting this wrong means voltage drop, flickering fixtures, or a system that simply doesn't deliver what was specified.
Low-voltage landscape lighting systems distribute power at safe, reduced voltages — typically 12V — from a central hub or transformer out to individual fixtures. The cable gauge (thickness) and total run length both affect how much usable power reaches the end of the line. A heavier gauge like 10/2 — two conductors at 10 AWG — minimises resistance across longer distances, keeping the system stable and the light output consistent.
The In-Lite CBL-40 10/2 Low Voltage Outdoor Cable is purpose-built for use within the In-Lite landscape lighting ecosystem. Supplied in a coil with cable caps included, it pairs directly with In-Lite HUB transformers. Maximum cable run length varies by hub: up to 80 metres linearly with the HUB-50, HUB-100, or SMART HUB-150, and up to 160 metres with the SMART HUB-300.
The cable jacket is a flexible, weather-resistant black insulation designed for outdoor use and suitable for direct burial — laid beneath soil, gravel, or paving without the need for additional conduit. Pre-stripped wire ends are ready for connection, and cable caps are supplied as standard to terminate unused ports cleanly.
This is a system-specific cable and works as part of the broader In-Lite low-voltage ecosystem. Always cross-reference your chosen HUB model against your total cable run length before specifying — the SMART HUB-300 unlocks significantly longer linear runs. Cable caps are included; no additional termination accessories are required for standard installations.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with the full In-Lite system to make sure cable, hub, and fixture choices are coordinated before anything goes in the ground. Getting the infrastructure right at specification stage avoids costly corrections once paving is laid or irrigation is in — and that's exactly the kind of project coordination we're here for.
