Wire, Zipcord 18 Gauge SPT1, 250', White

The two most common uses are: (1) building custom-length extension cords so you can run power from any outlet or controller to your display without relying on standard extension cords — this is how professional installers keep every job looking clean; and (2) building custom C7 or C9 socket stringers by adding replacement sockets and vampire plugs at any spacing you need.

SPT1 has thinner insulation and is the standard choice for most Christmas light applications — lightweight and flexible. SPT2 has thicker, heavier-duty insulation, better suited for outdoor applications with higher loads or where extra durability is required. Match the wire type to the vampire plugs and sockets you're using (SPT1 plugs with SPT1 wire, SPT2 plugs with SPT2 wire).

You'll need slide-on vampire plugs — available in male, female, inline pass-through, and splicer styles for both SPT1 and SPT2 wire. They press onto the wire without any tools.

Yes — this is a very common combination. Use a socket wire spool for your custom-length C7 or C9 socket runs, then use this zipcord wire with vampire plugs to build the custom-length extension cords that bring power from your source to the socket runs. The result is a completely professional, custom-fitted installation.
