What are the dimensions of this strip? I'm really looking for the length of the LED's from the first to the last, not the connecting cables.
I see this at the bottom of the page:
Product Dimensions: 384.0mm x 10.0mm x 1.5mm / 15.1" x 0.4" x 0.1"
Is the strip 3 metres in length?
For the project I would like to use these on, if they are 3 metres, can the strip be cut into sections, arranged in 1 metre strips and reconnected?
Dimensions of product?

Thank you, can it be split into smaller sections?

It can be shortened. There is only about 1mm between pixels, so you will probably lose a LED to the saw kerf in the process.
Connecting to the input-side of the cut piece will also be challanging. You will need to solder wires directly to the pads for the first remaining pixel. Although it should be possible with a fine tip iron and a steady hand.

These are the only length available at this time.
