Can the white connection head be removed easily from the black and red wires? I would like to fish the wires between bookcases through a small hole.

The wires can be cut and re-attached in the middle. Removing and re-attaching the white connection could generated more trouble that just re-splicing each wire

If you go to a good electronics store they should sell a tool that sleeves the metal part of the connector once sleeved over the pin it pulls out of the plastic. Maybe Radio shack or Hi lights. You could also cut the wires and solder them back together. Putting "Heat Shrink Tubing" over the wires prior to soldering . Once soldered use a match to heaat the tubing and it will shrink around the wires thus insulating them. BE SURE TO REATTACH COLOR TO COLOR. I would also stagger the cuts to make the finished product not as bulky.

No. The wires are mounted underneath a small plastic tab can't be removed without breaking the tab. You're either going to have to drill a half inch hole like I did, or, better yet, don't use the easy connectors and just use wire and solder directly to the strip. That way you could get away with maybe a 1/4" hole.

I don't have mine open now, but recall that the secret was to remove more screws and wires, which I think allowed separating the desired section. I initially tried what looked like the easy way with just a few screws, but the opening was not large enough to take it out that way, because protruding parts prevented mine from sliding out. If that's not clear enough, I can open mine again to refresh my memory.

White wires get connected together with wire nut and red on one black wire and black on the other black wire

I would think if you remove the reel, you are also going to remove the connector, plus the bottom of the pot is open to allow for drainage...why not just get one of those nice decorative pot, although I know the hose would not be covered...if that is what you are looking to accomplish.

In theory, you could cut the adapter and strip the wires, but I am not sure why you would want to. The adapter provides an easy connection from the track directly to the wire. If your track is not compatible with the adapter, I would recommend looking for a new kit.

Yes, there is a metal core in the cable housing so you will need a cut off tool or a hacksaw.

I'm it sure what you are asking. The wires could just be cut and exposed to fit the connectors.

The top piece easily detaches, its a held by a magnet. I take it off only on hot days and throw it in the love box. I'm worried it'll mess up the wiring.

What I have done in that case, and I've done it a lot, is cut at the "scissors" mark, where there is a pair of connections. Solder a pair of wires from the end of one segment to the next. Keep in mind that polarity matters, + to +, - to -. There are products available, as mentioned in the other answer, but I have had problems with getting good continuity with the water proof style strips, they do work well with the non water proof version. Also they are too short to go from shelf to shelf, only 6" or so.

There is a little covered box on the side with wires inside. Just remove the cover and insert your wires, connect and recover. In my application I used armoured cable and a connectore for the hole. The unit I purchased was identical to the one it replaced.

not easily. you would need to cut the top and trim the sides including the metal. then redo the connection uo top.

I do not think so. I do find the wire is annoying. Though they give you enough to wind it along the window to the pillar, etc., it would look amateurish, which it is since I do not install windows, I will not take things apart I do not know how they were put in in the first place.

Yes it can be easily to removed if all you need is the micro or mini USB connector.

YES. Just open the box, and remove the lower plate which houses the 1 - 4 or 6 lines. On the left hand side, is a about 1.5 inch square black cover. Remove the single small screw and inside are two metal clamps that hold the electrical cord. Remove all four screws, and undo the cord from the box. Now you are ready to bring in the hard wires through the opening at the bottom of the unit. You may need to take an Ex-Sto and cut the hold larger. The same can be do for the lines to the system.Hopefully, this helps. If you have any more problems or questions, please email me at saddlebrookepopups@q.com. YES.

If it CAN be removed (which I doubt, as it seems pretty solidly a part of the unit), then the company would have to do it, I think. But why would you want to remove it? It juts out only an inch-and-a-half from the back and looks decent, too. It turned out to be useful for installing the PSU in the case, and afterwards it can be good for keeping track of those not-so-often-used-but-easily-lost USB cables, like for a camera.

You need to push downward as you are pulling either the red or black wires off. If you push down while pulling off the wire it should come off without much force.

the connectors are open on the underside, i used my pocket knife to pry the ends apart then i was able to wiggle the connectors loose by moving them side to side. a flat head screw driver helps as well.
