Splicing low voltage wiring using crimp connectors.

I''ve used a connector to repair my malibu lights cable that my lawn guy keeps cutting. It gets the lights back on for a couple of days than it goes out again. It always seems to come down to me re-doing the connector in the same place. It looks as though there is some kind of heat build up and the connector and cable look kind of melted. Any idea what is going on?thanks

I am not a big fan of the CONNECTORS unless they are feeding a single light off a home run wire. We do offer SPLICE CONNECTORS for feeding branch circuits off home run wires but you have to be careful not to exceeed the stated capacity of the wire. I would suggest that you simple cut the wire and splice the connector using silicone filled wire nuts. This is just my humble opinion.
