Put the control box where it suits you
Use it to run power and control from a RoscoLED VariWhite Control Box out to the tape — so the box can sit offstage, in a void or at a dimmer position while the tape stays where the light is needed.
- 3-pin connectors to suit RoscoLED VariWhite Tape and Control Boxes
- Waterproof fittings at each connection
- Black cable that’s easy to hide on set and in scenery
Theatre, studio and installation runs
Scenery and set pieces
Bring tape in scenic elements back to a control box hidden off-set or under a rostrum.
Architectural and display
Keep the control box accessible in a service area while tape is installed in joinery, coves or displays.
Film and TV practicals
Extend tape built into practicals or set walls back to a box out of shot.
What it is — and what it isn’t
Use it for
- Connecting RoscoLED VariWhite Tape to a RoscoLED VariWhite Control Box
- Extending the distance between tape and control box
- Neat, low-visibility cable runs in black
Don’t use it for
- RoscoLED Static White (2-pin) or VariColor (5-pin) systems — wrong pin count
- 12V RoscoLED strips with 2.1mm barrel connectors
- Mains power or non-RoscoLED LED products
Getting the best result
- Confirm your tape and control box are both RoscoLED VariWhite (3-pin).
- Plan the run and pick the shortest length that reaches — keep spare cable neat rather than coiled tight.
- Align the connector keys and push fully home, then tighten the waterproof fittings.
- Connect the control box output last, power up and check the whole run before final fixing.

Common questions
Which lengths are on this listing?
This listing covers the shorter lengths shown in the options above. The 3 m and 5 m versions of the same Rosco cable are on the RoscoLED 3-pin VariWhite Cables listing.
Will this cable work with other RoscoLED tape?
No. It’s 3-pin for the VariWhite system. Static White uses 2-pin, VariWhite 3-pin and VariColor 5-pin, so match the cable to your tape.
Can I use it outdoors?
Rosco describes the fittings as waterproof. Rosco doesn’t publish an IP rating for the cable in the data we have, so check your installation conditions with us first.
Specifications are from Rosco product data. Check connector type, voltage and load against your tape and control gear before installing, and test the full run before show or shoot day. Information is a guide only.
