Good afternoon!!!
Here is my desk.

How can I connect the led strip of the table to me Commamder Pro ???
The one that I currently have is this Led https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00...0?ie=UTF8&th=1

Buy the parts (Molex 50-57-9404 and Molex 16-02-0102) to be able to connect it to the Commander Pro and in the end it did not work :(
For what I read you have to have a WS2812B protocol LED ... if I buy it will work in 5m ???
I do not know how to do it so that everything is synchronized ... I currently have it connected to the motherboard, but I would like to control it with iCue

Thank you very much for the help and forgiveness for the Google Translator

That particular LED strip is analog 5050, not WS2811/WS2812B so it won't work without a Digital-to-Analog converter. Solarity is working on one but it's not ready yet. And then it'd only be a single color, not individually addressable.

thank you very much for helping me DevBiker !!!
If I buy a led strip WS2812B, for example this model:

https://www.amazon.es/Picotronic-WS2...1548000875&sr= 8-5 & keywords = 5m ws2812b

Do you think it can work in 5m? would connect directly to LED 2 of the Commander Pro. Do you think it is necessary to connect it to a 5v transformer?

Thank you very much for the help!!!

You won't be able to control that with the CoPro or NoPro. Two reasons:

1) a single channel is limited to 96 LEDs that you can control from iCUE.
2) The current draw will blow out the fuses. 150 LEDs is gonna be around 5A or a little more. SATA power is limited to 4.5A on the 5V rail. Molex connectors are rated for 5.5A on the 5V rail.
