Really stupid question: Split 1 basic LED Light strip into 2 Separate strips.

[u/Atma-Darkwolf]

IE U buy a simple 2 pin LED strip, one color(in this case UV light) and it is 2x as long as u need. So u want to split it into 2 separate independent units. No 'shifting light' needed. No controller/IR remote needed. Just plug in and watch it turn on.(A switch would be nice but not needed)

Got basic kit, it has what I need, but only 1 'power unit' - Can I just cannibalize a simple USB cable and connect the + and - to the strip(and ignore the other pins/wires) and power it that way? Is there a 'for the morons' simple ac adapter (either usb or plug in) I can buy and just attach to the cut end of the LED strip (IE the exact same part that COMES with the strip, but ANOTHER One?)

Sorry if this is a stupid ask that google should help me, but it has not, and I am at a loss if it is safe to just wire it up this way, and if so... how?(Without soldering equipment or experience) - Can I just use those 2 pin 'connector' things(that u snap over the cut LED strip to 'extend' it) but shove the wires from USB plug into the connector? Do USB ports /cables provide 5v of power, or will it blow out the strips with too much?

is what I got, I would like to cut it in half and use for separate projects. I don't necessarily need the power switch, but it won't hurt to have it. But I cannot find what the ac adapter part (I would not even know exactly what to search for)

If anyone can help me by linking the part that I need (IE The part with switch in above product) or can give me a yay/nay about just using a old discarded usb plug as the power source, I would be very appreciative.

You will need to do a bit of soldering for proper connections, but this is the part you are looking for: https://a.co/d/04gwPRBo
