A 6mm² conductor at 20 metres keeps voltage drop within acceptable limits for string currents typically seen in residential and light commercial PV arrays. Pre-fitted MC4-compatible connectors remove the need for field crimping, which reduces the risk of poorly terminated joints that can cause arcing or increased resistance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PV-ST01 connector type used here is a widely adopted MC4-compatible format, compatible with the panel leads found on the majority of crystalline and thin-film modules. The cable itself is rated for direct outdoor exposure, with insulation and jacketing appropriate for the UV intensity, temperature range and DC voltage levels found in rooftop and ground-mount PV installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 3kg, this 20-metre assembly is straightforward to handle and route on site. It is suitable for use as an extension lead between a panel string and a charge controller or inverter input, or as a run between a combiner box and the main DC distribution point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: SCA002000100\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCable length: 20 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConductor cross-section: 6mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnector type: MC4-compatible, PV-ST01 (male and female, one of each)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.024kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076025191\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtending PV string leads from roof-mounted panels to a ground-floor inverter or charge controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnecting a combiner box output to the DC input of a Victron MPPT charge controller or MultiPlus inverter\/charger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabin, caravan and marine solar installations where a longer DC cable run is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround-mount solar arrays where panels are located at a distance from the battery or inverter enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement or supplementary cabling in existing PV systems using MC4-compatible connectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x 20-metre solar cable, 6mm², with pre-fitted MC4-compatible male connector (PV-ST01) at one end and MC4-compatible female connector (PV-ST01) at the other end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDC solar cabling should be installed by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. Ensure the cable rating is appropriate for the maximum open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the connected PV array before installation. Do not mix MC4-compatible connectors from different manufacturers in the same circuit, as dimensional tolerances can vary and may result in poor contact or ingress protection. Verify that the conductor cross-section is adequate for the system's maximum current and cable run length to keep voltage drop within acceptable limits. For grid-connected systems, all DC wiring must comply with the relevant requirements of BS 7671 and any applicable G98 or G99 connection agreement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59866759364942,"sku":"SCA002000100","price":48.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_SCA002000100_-_Solarcable_L_20m-6sqmm_MC4-M-F_conn._PV-ST01.webp?v=1781200512","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-solar-cable-20m-6mm2-mc4-pv-st01","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
