The AIMS Power 1 Foot 8 AWG Inverter Cable Set Makes Safe, Flexible DC Connections Between Your Inverter, Batteries and Equipment

The AIMS Power 1 Foot 8 AWG Inverter Cable Set is a 1 foot set of 8 AWG red and black cables, lugged on both ends, made for connecting inverters, batteries and other DC equipment. AIMS Power states the cable is designed to meet or exceed all test requirements called for by Underwriters Laboratories and the National Electric Code, and is recommended for use in accordance with UL and CSA for internal wiring of uninterruptible power supply equipment, UL standard 758. It can be used as battery cable, battery charger cable, motor lead and power hookup cable, and is also suitable for transformers, switchboard panels, controls, electronic circuits and meters. A flame retardant polyvinyl chloride compound resists moisture, abrasion, acid, diesel fuel and oil, and the cable is extremely flexible and easy to work with.


AIMS Power 1 Foot 8 AWG Inverter Cable Features

UL and NEC Tested Construction

The cable is designed to meet or exceed UL and National Electric Code test requirements and is recommended for UPS internal wiring under UL standard 758. AIMS Power lists it as UL certified.

Lugged on Both Ends

Each cable comes lugged on both ends with 3/8" lugs, so it is ready to connect.

Sized for Common Inverter Installations

AIMS Power lists this 8 AWG cable for 1000 watt 12 volt or smaller inverters, and 1500 and 2000 watt 24 or 48 volt inverters.

Ideal for Solar Charge Controllers

AIMS Power notes this cable is ideal for solar charge controllers 80 amps or smaller.

Rated Current and Voltage

The cable is rated for 600 volts with a maximum current of 87 amps.

Tough, Flexible Jacket

The flame retardant PVC jacket resists moisture, abrasion, acid, diesel fuel and oil. The cable is extra flexible and RT4 rated, making it easy to route in tight spaces.


Real-World Applications

Inverter to battery. Connect your inverter to your battery bank.

Battery chargers. Use as battery charger cable.

Power hookups and motor leads. AIMS Power lists power hookup and motor lead use.

RV, marine and solar systems. Wire DC equipment in mobile and off-grid power systems.


How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus building your own cables. A pre-lugged cable saves crimping tools and time, and gives a consistent connection.

Versus heavier gauge cable. AIMS Power notes some 2000 watt inverter models require 6 AWG cable due to their surge capabilities. Check your inverter manual for the required gauge.

Versus other AIMS Power cable sizes. AIMS Power also offers 6 and 4 AWG cable in a range of lengths. Larger inverters and longer runs generally call for heavier gauge cable.


Is This Cable the Right Fit

  • Gauge. Confirm your inverter or equipment calls for 8 AWG cable.
  • Length. This set is 1 foot long. Use the shortest length that reaches your connection points.
  • Lug size. Lugs are 3/8", so confirm they fit your terminal studs.
  • Current. Maximum current is 87 amps at up to 600 volts.

This may be a good fit if

  • Your equipment calls for 8 AWG cable
  • You need a 1 foot red and black set
  • You want UL tested, flame retardant cable
