Product overview

What this cable is designed to do

Side glow cable releases light along the fiber rather than concentrating the effect only at the end. It is used for contours, edges, pool features, landscape lines and interior accents where a smooth illuminated path is more useful than individual points.

Selection notes

  • Bare cable keeps the listed inner and outer diameter the same.
  • Transparent PVC-jacketed cable adds a protective outer layer.
  • Visible brightness depends on diameter, run length, illuminator and installation conditions.
