## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA578:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA578:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

These 4-wire cables are 15cm long and come as a set, one side has a JST SM type connector plug on the end. The other side has a matching JST SM type receptacle connector. They are good for whenever you have 4 wires you want to be able to plug and unplug. Adafruit like the solid and compact nature of these connectors and the latch that keeps the cable from coming apart easily. For more information, check the [JST SM connector datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/JSTSM_19108c37e95.pdf)

Adafruit's digital addressable LED strip and 12mm pixels also come with JST SM connectors and you can use these cables to connect to the input or output port

These cables can be used to connect to either the INPUT or OUTPUT port of Adafruit's [LPD8806 digital addressable LED strip](https://core-electronics.com.au/digital-rgb-led-weatherproof-strip-32-led-1m.html) or the INPUT or OUTPUT port of Adafruit's WS2801 LED Pixels so that you can easily plug it into your Arduino or similar and also connect another strand to the output, or perhaps apply power to the 'output' end.

Each order receives one of each connector.
