what is this material?
Doggo outgrew lite up collar but it's just led attached to this clear nylon or pvc piping. Feel like if I knew what the tubing material was I could probably find some. This is 8mm OD.
Tough to tell from a picture alone, but maybe something like this?

9Yep, it’s PMMA cable.
4That totally looks like it to me
2That would be what they are looking for.
Fibre optic with side scatter.
2That looks spot on but it's way more expensive than a new collar😅. Figured it would be really cheap by the foot but maybe I just need to get the new collar!

FYI there's another style of LED collar which is not a full collar but rather a rectangular strip of LEDs that you can attach to any collar. That way it can't be outgrown.

As someone else in this thread said, that is PMMA, basically acrylic. I work a ton with the stuff to distribute light to displays and indicators when designing hardware prototypes. I also had dogs once, same stuff really.
5That's a really good question, I bet you could drill down the categories on https://www.mcmaster.com/ and find it there
Maybe the ldpe rods here https://www.mcmaster.com/products/plastics/plastic~/
2Looks like PVC tubing:
$4.82 for 10 feet with free shipping.
1Maybe pic didn't do it justice. It's not really tubing. It's solid so light can scatter through it.
2Oh hmm I see what you mean. Not sure what keywords to try. I'll give it some thought.

I don't know if it is possible to make PVC transparent, but I would guess that's what it is.
