It connects solar panels to combiner boxes, charge controllers or other DC wiring in a PV installation. The 6mm² cross-section suits higher-current panel strings where voltage drop and heat matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features of this solar panel cable\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e, 5 metres, ready to install with no crimping or termination needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor size\u003c\/strong\u003e, 6mm² cross-section for higher-current PV string connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors\u003c\/strong\u003e, MC4-compatible PV-ST01 male and female, one at each end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuild\u003c\/strong\u003e, UV-resistant cable construction for outdoor DC solar use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplier\u003c\/strong\u003e, Victron Energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePre-terminated cables remove the risk of a poorly crimped connector on site. This one arrives with a PV-ST01 male connector at one end and a female connector at the other, so it works as a direct extension or interconnect for standard MC4-equipped panels and components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 6mm² conductor suits longer cable runs or higher panel current, cutting resistive losses compared with the more common 4mm² option. Over a 5-metre run, this helps keep voltage drop within acceptable limits and reduces heat build-up in the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMC4 (PV-ST01) connectors are the industry standard for solar panel interconnection. They are rated for outdoor use and provide a secure locking connection, compatible with most solar panels and DC components on the market.

Check cable polarity before making any connection, and confirm the PV-ST01 connectors are compatible with the connector brand used elsewhere in the string. Mixing connector brands without checking cross-compatibility can create a fire or arc-fault risk. On grid-connected systems, all DC wiring must comply with current UK wiring regulations and any applicable G98 or G99 requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095617040672,"sku":"SCA000500100","price":12.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/8148\/1504\/files\/ledandsolar-sca000500100-1.webp?v=1785756567","url":"https:\/\/www.ledandsolar.co.uk\/products\/victron-solar-panel-cable-6mm-mc4","provider":"LED \u0026 Solar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
