A matched pair of 4-wire cables with JST SM connectors — one plug and one receptacle — for easy plug-and-unplug connections. Each cable is 15cm long with a latching connector that stays secure during use but disconnects cleanly when needed.
JST SM connectors are commonly found on digital addressable LED strips and pixel strands. Use these cables to connect to the input or output ports of LED strips, extend connections to an Arduino or other microcontroller, or chain multiple strands together.
