Default Under-Cabinet Lighting

The wife decided that she wants LED under-cabinet lighting under
the four cabinets. I've found the fixtures and power supply online,
but the interconnecting wiring has me confused. I've found various
lengths cables with molded connectors (outrageously priced), but
what I want to do is buy wire and connectors and make them up
myself because a couple of the runs are long, and I don't want to
have to drill holes big enough to pass a connector through.

Are these special connectors? Are they available on line? What gauge
wire do I need to use?


I would not use connectors.

Buy LED light strips from dealextreme, i.e.

and just solder all the connections.
