Gm Lighting RTR-1 Rgb Ribbon to Ribbon Connector

Product Description

The GM LIGHTING RTR-1 is an RGB ribbon-to-ribbon connector designed to join two sections of RGB LED ribbon strip together without soldering. This type of connector is used in low-voltage LED lighting installations where maintaining a continuous, reliable electrical path between ribbon segments is essential. Electricians and lighting installers rely on connectors like the RTR-1 to speed up strip-light work and reduce the need for heat tools at connection points. The part is compact and suited for use inside channel extrusions, under cabinets, and in other confined retrofit or new-construction lighting applications.

The RTR-1 is intended for RGB LED ribbon strip systems, where four conductors carry power and individual red, green, and blue control signals. It is used in both residential and light commercial settings, including accent lighting, cove lighting, display case illumination, and under-cabinet installations. The connector allows technicians to extend or link ribbon runs at a junction point without cutting into a powered segment.

Key Features

• Ribbon-to-ribbon design joins two RGB LED strip sections directly
• Eliminates the need for soldering at strip-to-strip connection points
• Maintains four-conductor RGB signal and power continuity across the joint
• Compact form factor fits inside standard LED channel extrusions
• Suited for low-voltage LED ribbon strip installations in residential and light commercial settings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style connector for RGB LED ribbon strip systems requiring a direct ribbon-to-ribbon junction. Verify ribbon width and conductor pitch match before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or lighting technician familiar with low-voltage LED strip systems. De-energize the LED driver or power supply completely before connecting or disconnecting ribbon segments. Ensure the ribbon strip ends are cleanly cut at a marked cut point and that the conductor pads are free of oxidation or debris before seating them in the connector. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for low-voltage lighting wiring.
