At this cross-section, the cable handles the current output of most standard solar panels without excessive resistive losses, making it appropriate for runs up to typical panel-to-combiner or panel-to-controller distances. The 5-metre length suits common roof layouts where panels are positioned close to the inverter or charge controller entry point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe PV-ST01 MC4-compatible connectors are a common industry format, allowing straightforward connection to most solar panels and balance-of-system components that use the MC4 standard. The male and female pairing on a single cable means it can be used as an extension lead or as a direct interconnect between two components in a PV circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: SCA000500000\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCable length: 5 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConductor cross-section: 4mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnector type: MC4-compatible, PV-ST01 (male and female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.576 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076025160\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtending or interconnecting solar panel strings in rooftop PV installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnecting individual panels to combiner boxes or DC isolators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid solar systems using Victron MPPT charge controllers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMobile and marine installations where a pre-terminated, weatherproof cable run is required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement or additional cabling for existing PV arrays 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 5-metre solar cable, 4mm², with MC4-compatible male connector at one end and female connector at the other (PV-ST01)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDC solar wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer. Ensure the cable rating is appropriate for the short-circuit current of your array before installation. MC4 connectors should only be mated and de-mated using the correct MC4 disconnect tool; do not disconnect under load. For grid-connected systems in the UK, all DC wiring must comply with the requirements of BS 7671 and any applicable G98 or G99 network operator conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855409807694,"sku":"SCA000500000","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_SCA000500000_-_Solarcable_L_5m-4sqmm_MC4-M-F_conn._PV-ST01.webp?v=1781094506","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-solar-cable-5m-4mm2-mc4-pv-st01","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
