With a mating plug, you can interconnect festoon cables and other electrical wiring. You cut off the standard end of the festoon cable and then fit the mating plug there.

If you cut a cable at any point, it exposes two wires, a plus and minus. Then you connect these two wires to the mating plug. After assembly, make sure you properly seal the connection of the cable to the plug by using a heat shrink tube. Follow the instructions of the manual for correct and easy installation.

Make sure to protect the connection between plug and mating plug when used for long periods outdoors. This can be done by placing the connection under a roof, using a large heat shrink tube, or by hanging the plug upwards so it cannot retain water. For outdoor use, it is better to use our connectable cables for festoon lights instead of installing a mating plug. This is due to the rubber in the coupling that can be tightened on the connectable festoon cables. As a result, it is better protected.
