I want to hard wire my 50' rope, what do I need to do so?

cut the rope light at one of the marked intervals with a pair of scissors. For the 120-volt version, a power cord and power connector are used at one end of the rope light so that it may be to plugged into any standard household outlet. The 12-volt and 24-volt versions are essentially the same, but utilize low-voltage bulbs and a hard wired cord. 12-volt or 24-volt must be hooked up to the appropriate power source. In all instances and end cap terminates each run.

If I am not mistaken (from my experience), it came w/ a transformer to make the light run on 240V. If you want to hard wire it, make sure you don't cut 'that thing' away

This is the wrong material for hardwiring. I have it plugged into a timer and use it as entry lights to my house.

You need to use romex electrical cable staples. this will definitely won't work, nor would to be safe

The synthetic cable works best. Easier and safer. Pulley can come in handy depending on what you plans are.

You have a 1993 rope start 30 HP long shaft. according to the number. No electric. Are you trying to add? if so I have no idea

You should use a 16 gauge extension cord for 50 feet. If you move to 100 feet you would need to increase the gauge to 14.

I extended it 80 ft, but your going to need cable connectors tools and knowledge of soldering to extend the or receiver wire

When you cut the ropelught in the designated spot you expose the inner wire which can accept a new plug that comes with the kit. It is very easy to do if you use a sharp pair of scissors, the rope also has marks on it telling you where you can cut it.

We plug an extension chord into it and plug it into the garage. I'm sure you could probably have an electrician hard wire it but that was more than we needed.

That is true. A 50 ft cord needs to be 16/3. I got a 100-foot cord, which needs to be 14/3. The longer the cord, the thicker the wire needs to be. There is a helpful article in Wikipedia under "extension cord."

Use the 14/2 wire. The quick connects fit the wire perfectly! I have 50 ft of the wire running 4 o Paradise 8W LED lights with a 200W power supply. All purchased on Amazon. It works great.

worked great for me and my wire was not coated --- probably doesn't matter. Make sure your wire size and anchor size match.

just run 12 guage thats what I ran but if it is over 50ft i would drop down to 10 gusge. The terminals are big enough to take them both

The Worx manual says (given 120V and 14.5 amps) that you should use a 12 gauge AWG cord at 50 ft. The manual says a 100 ft cord is "not recommended".

Bob, It is hard wired. The best bet would be to get a 6 ft 12/3 extension cord.RockyKamrock Lights LLC

That depends. If it's on the end of the run buy some more low voltage wire from any big box hardware store & splice it. They sell it by the foot at the wire cutting station. I never use anything more then tape. If it's in the middle of the run I'd still buy whatever you need & use a razorblade or something to cut into the loop & splice it. If it's close to the transformer you can put two lengths in parallel at the connectors.

I am very satisfied with this rope lighting; but I put mine up on the edge of my cabinets over my sink and plugged it in. I wouldn't know whether it could be hard wired or not. It is a standard plug. Hope this helps.
