Description
xVictron Solar Cable 3m 6mm² with MC4 Male/Female Connectors (PV-ST01)
A pre-assembled 3-metre solar cable from Victron Energy, fitted with MC4-compatible male and female connectors (PV-ST01 type). Designed for connecting solar panels in residential, commercial and off-grid PV installations where a reliable, weatherproof cable assembly is required.
Key Features
- 3-metre length with 6mm² cross-section, suitable for standard string and parallel panel wiring configurations.
- Pre-fitted MC4-compatible male and female connectors (PV-ST01) for tool-free, secure connections between panels and combiner boxes or charge controllers.
- 6mm² conductor cross-section supports higher current capacity, reducing resistive losses over longer cable runs.
- UV-resistant and weatherproof outer sheathing rated for outdoor solar installations.
- Single-cable assembly with one male and one female connector, ready to use straight from the box.
- Supplied by Victron Energy, a manufacturer with a consistent track record in solar and off-grid power components.
Product Overview
This cable assembly uses a 6mm² conductor, which is the preferred cross-section for most residential and light commercial solar strings where cable runs exceed a few metres. Compared to 4mm² cable, the larger conductor reduces voltage drop and heat build-up under sustained current loads, which matters in systems where panels are mounted at a distance from the inverter or charge controller.
The PV-ST01 MC4-compatible connectors are a widely used standard in the solar industry. The male and female pairing on a single cable allows direct panel-to-panel extension or connection to existing MC4 wiring without additional adapters. The connectors are designed for outdoor use and provide a weatherproof, locking connection when mated correctly.
At 3 metres, this cable is well suited to bridging the gap between adjacent panels, extending a panel lead to reach a combiner box, or making up a short inter-row connection. For longer runs, multiple assemblies can be chained, or a custom-length cable should be used.

Installation Notes
Solar PV wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. Ensure the cable and connectors are compatible with the current and voltage ratings of your specific system before installation. MC4 connectors should only be mated and de-mated using the correct MC4 disconnect tool; do not attempt to separate live connectors by hand. For grid-connected systems in the UK, all DC wiring must comply with the requirements of the relevant wiring regulations and any applicable G98 or G99 connection agreement.
