If you buy less than a full reel, you'll get a single strip, but it will be a cut piece from a reel which may or may not have a connector on it. If the piece comes from the end of the reel, the connector may be on the output end of the strip!

Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED strips come to us in 4 or 5 meter reels with a 2 or 3-pin JST SM connector on each end and separated power/ground wires as shown in the picture below. If you order a full 4 or 5 meters, you get the full reel with both connectors installed.

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. We 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 datasheetOur 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 portThese cables can be used to connect to either the INPUT or OUTPUT port of our LPD8806 digital addressable LED strip or the INPUT or OUTPUT port of our 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.
