Under cabinet lighting wire split routing?

Hi,
I am installing Govee under cabinet 4 pin RGB lighting and I need to run the 22awg jumper wire in 2 different directions but I can’t figure out what connector/splitter I need to do it cleanly. There are splitters for the LED. Tape but doesn’t seem to be anything for the wire.
the only thing I can think of is to get something like this and cram 3 wires of the same color into each terminal???
Any better ideas???
Thanks
Wade

You can use small wire nuts too.

Those are for the LED tape itself. I need to ‘t’ the jumper wires themselves not the tape. So it would be a jumper line composed of 4 individual 22awg guage wire that I want to ‘t’ into a 4 wire jumper going up through the cabinet to the top and then a 4 wire jumper going down from the ‘t’ through the floor that I am fishing to another set of cabinets on the other side of the room.

Thanks
Wade

When I wire LED tape I typically use an 18/2 or 18/4 stat cable. Any splicing I do I just use wire nuts or crimp butt splices.

Wiring passing through a cabinet, floor or wall needs to be in a cable.

Cable meaning the wires are grouped together and contained in an outer jacket.

You cannot use individual wires.

Electrical wire splices must be contained in a box, the splice cannot be just left hanging out in the open.
