About

Specifications & Features

This 5m 6mm solar cable is a practical choice for contractors who need a neat, reliable run between PV components indoors—ideal for linking panels, inverters or battery equipment while keeping voltage drop and power loss to a minimum.

It suits short indoor cable runs in utility rooms, garages, or plant areas where a clean, dependable connection is needed between solar equipment. The 5 metre length is handy for linking nearby components without excess slack, making it a sensible choice for tidy setups around an inverter or battery cabinet.

 

Specifications

  • Voltage: 1000VAC / 1500VDC
  • Material: Stranded tin-plated copper with XLPE and PVC
  • IP Rating: IP20 – Indoor Use

Installation Guidance, Tips & Tricks

Confirm Indoor-Only Installation: Use the cable indoors only per IP20 rating. Keep it away from wet areas and exposed outdoor conditions.

 

Plan Direct, Neat Routing: Route the 5m cable directly between panels, inverters, or battery equipment to help minimize voltage drop and power loss.

 

Verify System Voltage Ratings: Confirm your AC or DC system does not exceed the cable’s ratings of 1000VAC and 1500VDC before energizing.

 

Make Secure, Clean Terminations: Ensure tight, reliable terminations while avoiding damage to the stranded tin-plated copper and XLPE/PVC insulation for consistent performance.

 

Perform Basic Continuity Check: Test continuity end-to-end before connecting to equipment, ensuring the run is intact and correctly identified.
