This adapter cable bridges that gap without requiring re-termination or additional connector hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 15cm, the cable is designed for short-reach connections rather than cable runs. It is best used at the point of connection between a panel lead and a controller input, or within a combiner box where space is limited. The MC4 female end accepts a standard MC4 male plug from a panel or extension cable, while the MC3 male end plugs directly into an MC3 female socket on the receiving equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: SCA500200000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnector type: MC4 female to MC3 male\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCable length: 15cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 35g\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076025214\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnecting MC4-terminated solar panels to MC3-input charge controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrating new panels into existing MC3-based off-grid systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse within combiner boxes or junction enclosures where connector types differ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRetrofit installations where replacing existing MC3 wiring is not practical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x Solar adapter cable, MC4 female to MC3 male, 15cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis adapter is intended for use in low-voltage DC solar PV circuits. Ensure the cable and connectors are rated for the voltage and current of your system before installation. Solar PV wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer. Do not use this adapter in applications that exceed the connector ratings, and ensure all connections are fully seated and weatherproofed where exposed to the elements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59867205697870,"sku":"SCA500200000","price":4.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_SCA500200000_-_Solar_adaptercable_MC4-F_to_MC3-M_L_15cm.webp?v=1781202191","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/mc4-female-mc3-male-solar-adapter-cable-15cm","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
