*The length of the female to female jumpers will vary with your installation. The link here is for 12-inch (300mm) jumpers.

You will need enough wire to run a wire from the relay(s) to your garage door opener(s).

Depending on the surface in your garage where you want to mount your project, you might be able to use the double sided tape to mount rather than the screws.
