I got a cablemod rgb/w kit and i don’t know how to connect the strip to the wireless receiver because the labels for the individual terminals don’t match (pic attached) i sent a help ticket to cablemod but they haven’t responded in over an hour. Any help would be appreciated

You need to use the 5 pin in your case connectors to wire up the controller to the LED strip. 

 

The ones in the lower left.

No i have the 5 pin extender but that would connect the power for white (W, the bottom on the left) to green ( G, the bottom on the right)

Oh I see what you mean, in their photos they have the RGBW controller as the LED strip. @CableMod on the forums should be able to resolve that.

Update the seccond: i think i found the cause of the weirdness, the packaging says its an RGB/W led strip, but the strip says RGB+UV

Those look to be RGBW LED's they have yellow phosphor on them, it looks like it's just the labeling as the RGB-UV lights have separate individual chips. For the controller I'm not 100% sure about that, not sure if there has been an update or something got changed.

I looked up a video on the rgb+uv strip

to try and look at the controller and the labels on it match the labels on my strip
