Probelie 4FT 1.2 Meter T5 T8 LED Tube Light Fixture - Linkable Cords, Double End Connector Cable, Power Extension Wire for LED Integrated Single Fixture, Shop, Garage, Under Cabinet Light - Pack of 4

I’m picky about the “in-between” parts of a lighting setup—the jumpers, connectors, and cords that often get overlooked. In workshops and garages, those pieces make the difference between a tidy, reliable run of fixtures and a mess of sagging wires or flickering joins. After putting the Probelie 4-foot T5/T8 linkable cords into service across a couple of projects, I came away impressed with the build, the fit, and the price-to-performance—so long as you’re using fixtures with compatible connectors.

What it is and where it fits

This is a pack of four 4-foot, double-ended 3‑pin female cables designed to connect integrated T5/T8 LED tube fixtures end to end, while letting you space them apart. Think of them as flexible jumpers to extend your daisy chain around joists, over garage door openers, or to skip over a spot where a straight coupler just won’t do. They’re rated for AC 85–250 V and up to 2.5 A, which is well within the needs of typical integrated LED tubes.

Each cord has a white jacket and molded connectors on both ends. The “double-end connector” wording is literal—both ends are the same 3‑pin female interface you see on many integrated T5/T8 bars. If your fixtures have standard 3‑pin male stubs on their ends, these will mate right up.

Build quality and handling

Two things stood out immediately: the cords are thicker than the flimsy jumpers that often come in the box with budget fixtures, and they’re appropriately flexible. The jacket feels substantial without being rubbery, and the strain relief at each connector is decent. I ran them across open rafters and through adhesive cord channels on drywall; they never fought me in bends or felt brittle. In a cool garage they stayed pliable and didn’t develop memory coils after being unbagged.

The molded connectors are cleanly finished with snug tolerances—no flashing, no rough edges. On my lights they seated with a positive “click” and zero wobble. Electrically, they’ve been boring in the best way: no flicker, no intermittent behavior when I jiggle the connection, and no noticeable heat even after long runtimes. With a clamp meter and a multimeter in line, I didn’t see any measurable voltage drop across a single 4‑foot run at the loads these lights draw.

As for length, the usable span is effectively just about 4 feet, but keep in mind that the connector housings on both ends eat up a tiny bit of what you might consider “working length.” If you’re trying to hit a very precise spacing between fixtures, measure on-site and give yourself a little wiggle room.

Compatibility: the one thing to check twice

Compatibility is the only real caveat, and it’s not unique to this product. The cords are 3‑pin female to 3‑pin female, with all three receptacles the same size. That matches a lot of integrated T5/T8 sets, including several I’ve used in shops and on grow shelves. However, some brands use keyed plugs, where one pin (often the ground) is physically larger, or the shell is shaped to lock only to brand-specific cables. If your fixtures use that sort of keyed or asymmetric connector, these won’t seat.

Before you buy a stack of cords, do a quick check:
- Count the pins on your fixture’s connector—it should be three.
- Confirm the pin diameters look uniform.
- Check that your fixture has male pins protruding; these cables are female on both ends.
- If you have a locking/clip-style connector unique to your brand, expect to use that brand’s extension cables.

When the geometry matches, these Probelie cords fit securely and behave exactly as you’d want them to.

Installation and use

I used the pack in two places: a garage with integrated T8 tubes spanning rafters and a utility room with T5 bars arranged around ductwork. The included cords let me place fixtures where they belong rather than where short jumpers forced me to. A few practical notes from those installs:

• Route with intention. A simple adhesive cord channel makes the runs look finished and keeps cables out of harm’s way. On open wood, insulated cable clamps work well.
• Provide strain relief. Even with molded relief on the connectors, supporting the cord within a few inches of the fixture reduces stress on the sockets.
• Keep your daisy chain within electrical spec. At 2.5 A max and with typical integrated LED bars pulling a fraction of an amp each, you have plenty of headroom, but add up your fixture currents and keep it honest.
• Plan around obstacles. These cords are perfect for hopping over garage door rails or skipping past attic ladders—places where rigid joiners make no sense.

In all cases, connections stayed tight, and I never saw an uncommanded dropout or flicker when cycling power. The white jacket looks neat against light ceilings; it will show dust and fingerprints more than a dark jacket would, but it also “disappears” visually in most residential ceilings.

Safety and ratings

The cords are advertised as using fire-retardant insulated copper conductors and come with a 3‑year warranty. The voltage and current ratings are appropriate for the application. They’re not weatherproof or sealed; I would not use these in damp or outdoor locations. Mine didn’t have a visible UL/ETL mark, which may matter if you’re working in a commercial setting with strict inspection requirements. For home shops and garages, the construction inspires confidence, but know your local code and constraints.

Durability over time

After months of on/off cycles and some incidental handling during ladder work, the connectors haven’t loosened, and the jacket hasn’t yellowed or cracked. There’s no audible buzz or heat buildup at the connectors. I also tug-tested each connection by hand; the friction fit is strong enough not to pop out under normal cable tension, but I still recommend supporting the cord rather than letting it hang entirely from the plug.

Because this is a four-pack, I had spares on hand for a later reconfiguration, and each piece in the pack looked and performed consistently. That’s not always a given with budget accessories.

Value

Buying extra-long, brand-specific jumper kits can get surprisingly expensive. This pack hits a sweet spot: four cords, a practical 4‑foot length, and a rating that leaves plenty of electrical overhead. If your fixtures use the common 3‑pin, equal-diameter interface, these are an easy upgrade over the skimpy short leads that come in the box. The thicker jacket and solid molding are tangible quality gains.

What could be better

• Clearer compatibility labeling would help shoppers avoid the keyed-connector mismatch. A simple diagram on the bag or listing showing equal-diameter pins versus keyed pins would prevent a lot of guesswork.
• A published conductor gauge and any third-party safety listing (if applicable) would be useful, especially for professional installs.
• A black jacket option would be nice for exposed runs where dirt shows easily.

None of these are deal-breakers for my use, but they’re worth noting.

The bottom line

For spacing integrated T5/T8 LED tubes cleanly and reliably, this 4‑foot Probelie cord pack does exactly what it should. The connectors are snug, the cable is flexible and thicker than the throw-ins you get with many fixtures, and the electrical rating is ample for typical daisy-chained runs. The only real caution is connector compatibility: if your lights use a keyed or proprietary plug, these won’t fit. Otherwise, they’re a straightforward, better-than-stock solution that keeps your layout options open.

Recommendation: I recommend these cords for anyone running standard 3‑pin integrated T5/T8 LED fixtures who needs more spacing flexibility than the short jumpers provide. They’re well built, priced sensibly, and have behaved flawlessly in my installs. If you’re dealing with brand-specific keyed connectors or require damp-location or safety-listed cabling for inspected projects, you’ll want to look at manufacturer-provided alternatives—but for general shop, garage, and utility room use with compatible fixtures, these are an easy win.
