Plugs & Connectors

Gilbert plugs and connectors in SPT-1 and SPT-2 for building custom extension cords and terminating socket wire runs. Male, female, and one-piece options. The essential hardware for every professional Christmas light installer's toolkit.

What Gilbert Plugs Do

Gilbert plugs attach to the cut ends of SPT wire. They create the electrical connection between your socket wire runs, extension cords, and power source. Male plugs go to the power source. Female plugs receive the next run in line. One-piece inline plugs connect two cut wire ends together.

SPT-1 vs SPT-2

Match your plug gauge to your wire gauge. SPT-1 plugs for SPT-1 wire. SPT-2 plugs for SPT-2 wire. Using the wrong gauge creates loose connections and safety hazards. We stock both gauges in every plug configuration so you always have the right match.

Why Every Installer Needs These

You buy socket wire on bulk spools. You cut to length on site. Then you need plugs to terminate both ends. You also need them to build custom extension cords from bulk zip cord. Keep a box of each type on the truck at all times.

Pair With Your Wire

Use with C9 stringers and spools, C7 stringers and spools, and bulk zip cord. Every custom run needs plugs at both ends.

Jason Geiman includes Gilbert plugs in every starter inventory recommendation for new contractors. They are a consumable item that you will restock multiple times per season. Thousands of installers in his network rely on these for clean, safe connections.
