It says don't use 2 strips with power adapter. Can I cut one strip in two lengths and use it with included Y connector?

Yes you can.... I cut mine in 5 or 6 strips and connected them to fit my setting. Works just fine. The overall power consumption of all the strips is still the same even if you cut it in 10 pieces....just don't go and buy any additional strips that increases the overall lights on the power adapters, then you might have problems. These lights are great.

Yes you can do that. One 16'strip per adapter. You need a special adapter to connect the 2 strips make sure its the right one.

I don't know but Radio shack like multiple output adapter could provide the solution. Polarity and and adapter size matching being your primary concern.

This is only a plug adapter, it is not a transformer. Therefore, while it will allow you to plug any 3-prong or 2-prong US electrical device into it, it will still give you the power of the host receptacle. If your power strip/surge protector is designed to work with the type of power in the host receptacle, then this will do what you want.

Only one of these strips can be supported using a 30 Watt power supply. We offer several different power options on Amazon and HitLights.com.

The light cable plugs in to one. The power cable plugs in the second input. And that should be all there is to this. The far end of the light strip does have another "port". This allows you to connect another light strip to extend the system. There's no need to connect anything to that end if you are not extending it.

I have used this unit with a power strip with no problem. However, since this unit uses 1.2 amp of power,the power strip has to be rated for 1.2 amp or more.

Doesn't matter. The Y end would be used on older PCs that don't have enough power and you would plug both in

I'm not familiar with the particular product you mention, but the strips I use are limited to using two 16ft lengths linked together. It would appear that at the very least, you need a larger transformer. The quality of the manufacturer's product often times is also of significance. That being said, I've found these transformers to be amongst the most compatible available.

No. This adapter is meant to take an 8-pin rail and convert it to a 6+2 rail to power graphics cards that only have 6-pin connectors. The 8-pin at the top of the Y is female, so you connect the 8-pin rail from the power supply there; then, use one or both 6+2 connectors on the graphics card.If any part of this is unclear, please tell me in a comment or reply, and I'll clarify.

If you plug into a wall socket you can use the second wall socket with no issue. If you plug it into a power strip it will take up two spots unless you use the very last one on the end of the power strip. Hope this helps :)

If you are using a low-power USB connection then the second cable provides additional power. You probably won't need to use it.

You can either purchase the strip connector or the y connector. The strip connector continues the string while the y connector can also continue the string but can hook up to a single controller. That way you can unplug one of the strips while the others continue to operate.

You don't need buy two. use power strip,you can use more than one products. Remember power total do not over 1000W

You will need an additional converter. The strip is capable of using both voltages but does not convert voltages

Dear friend, on each end of the RGB led strip, there is a 4 pin male and famale connector, you can connect two rolls into one strip. But please kindly note that it will need a 4A ~ 6A power supply for two rolls.

If you have a extra power dongle from the power supply, you can use it. If not, you can purchase a Computer Molex 4 Pin Power Supply Y Splitter CableGeneric from Amazon
