Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RADIONIC HI-TECH from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between the RADIONIC HI-TECH UC-LC-6, UC-LC-12, and UC-LC-24 linking cords?
The UC-LC series linking cords differ only in length: UC-LC-6 is 6 inches, UC-LC-12 is 12 inches, and UC-LC-24 is 24 inches. All three are compatible with fixture models 55KJ46, 55KJ47, 55KJ48, 788NC0, 788NC1, and 788NC2. They are used to connect fixtures in a daisy-chain configuration, so the length should be selected based on the spacing between fixtures. Using a cord that is too long may require coiling or concealment; too short will not reach. These cords carry the same electrical rating as the fixtures they connect.
Which RADIONIC HI-TECH fixtures are compatible with the UC-B direct butt connector?
The UC-B direct butt connector is designed for use with models 55KJ46, 55KJ47, 55KJ48, 788NC0, 788NC1, and 788NC2. It is used to join wiring in undercabinet and accent lighting installations, providing a secure electrical junction between compatible fixtures. This connector is typically used where a linking cord is not suitable, such as when splicing wires or terminating a run. It is a passive component and does not alter the voltage or current characteristics of the circuit.
What is the voltage rating of the RADIONIC HI-TECH ES-CA-CORD?
The ES-CA-CORD operates at 24V AC. It is a linking cable and cord for LED undercabinet lighting, compatible with models 21GP55, 21GP56, 21GP57, and 21GP58. The 24V AC rating indicates that the associated fixtures are low-voltage, which is common for undercabinet LED lighting to reduce shock hazard and allow smaller conductors. Ensure that the power supply feeding the circuit matches this voltage. Do not connect this cord to a higher voltage source.
Can RADIONIC HI-TECH XNCC12W and XNCC24W cords be used with any undercabinet fixture?
No. The XNCC12W and XNCC24W connector cords are specifically designed for Radionic ZX Task Lights. They are linking cables that interconnect compatible task lights for continuous illumination. The 12-inch and 24-inch lengths refer to the cord length, not the fixture size. Using these cords with other fixture brands or models may not provide proper electrical or mechanical connection. Always verify that your fixtures are part of the Radionic ZX Task Light series before ordering.
What is the purpose of the RADIONIC HI-TECH UC-PC power cord?
The UC-PC is a power cord accessory for undercabinet and accent lighting fixtures. It is compatible with models 55KJ46, 55KJ47, 55KJ48, 788NC0, 788NC1, and 788NC2. This cord provides the electrical connection from the power source to the first fixture in a daisy-chain installation. It is distinct from linking cords, which connect fixture to fixture. The UC-PC is typically used at the start of a run, where the supply wiring meets the lighting system.
How do I choose between a linking cord and a direct butt connector for RADIONIC HI-TECH undercabinet lighting?
Linking cords (such as UC-LC-6, UC-LC-12, UC-LC-24, or ES-CA-CORD) are used to connect compatible fixtures in a daisy-chain, providing both electrical connection and a defined spacing. Direct butt connectors (UC-B) are used to join wiring where a cord is not appropriate, such as splicing or terminating a run. If you need to connect two fixtures with a specific gap, use a linking cord of the appropriate length. If you are joining wires within a junction or extending a cable, use the butt connector. Both are compatible with the same fixture models.
