The best connector type to use with the 40' 18-Gauge 2-Wire Bonded Wire # SWC77FR are the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05743-10. You'll insert the ends of the wires into the butt connector, crimp it down, and then use a heat gun or a small flame to shrink the casing around the wires. This gives you a solid connection that is safe from being exposed to the elements.
