Hi! I have a new garage door remote receiving unit. I need to connect it to my garage door opener.
I need to connect 2 power wires (12v and ground) and 2 command wires - about 30cm of wire in total.
I don’t have any wire to hand. Can I cut a short length of extension cable, strip off the outer insulation and safely use the 3 internal wires (with their thin insulation) individually?
Thanks!
Yes.
Yes
🤣
12V? sure, knock yourself out!
230V, nope
Thank you!
I’m back! All working perfectly! Thanks again.

I think if you want to knock yourself out then 230v is going to be the better bet.
You can as a bodge to get the thing working but after that replace it with a bit of control cable multicore or .75 singles depending on the amperage with bootlace ferrules and wiring markers. Otherwise when you sell the house the next owner will think your a proper bodging **** !
