The landscape wire should run from the transformer to each light without being cut. Do not run the landscape wire within 10 feet (3m) of a pool, spa or fountain. If the landscape wire is too long, cut it with a cable cutter.
The landscape wire should be protected by routing it close to proximity of the light fixture or next to a building, deck or fence. Use cable suitable for low voltage landscape lighting.
See chart below for recommended cable gauges.
