The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Extension Cable is a solar extension lead with a factory-installed male MC4 compatible connector on one end and a female MC4 compatible connector on the other. It uses 10 AWG tinned copper PV cable with a 600 V rating and an allowable current of 49.6A, and it comes in 6, 15, 20, 50 and 100 foot lengths.
It's made for solar owners and installers who need more reach between the panels and the charge controller, battery bank or inverter. Use it on a roof array, a ground mount set out in the sun, or a mobile setup where the panels sit away from the rest of the wiring.
The male and female MC4 compatible connectors come installed from the factory, so the cable plugs straight into your panel leads and the next cable in the run. There's nothing to strip or crimp for this connection.
AIMS lists an allowable current of 49.6A for the 10 AWG conductor and a 600 V voltage rating. That supports solar panel arrays that need steady, reliable current transfer.
The conductor is made of 75 tinned copper strands (75/0.30 TC) with a conductor resistance of 3.59 Ω/km. Tinned copper helps keep electrical performance consistent across long cable distances.
XLPE insulation and a 6.4 mm jacket let the cable work from -40 °C to +90 °C (-40 °F to +194 °F). It carries a 90 °C rating in dry or wet locations, withstands short circuit temperatures up to 250 °C (482 °F), and AIMS describes it as weatherproof.
AIMS builds the extension from UL4703 PV cable, made to meet solar application requirements for outdoor system wiring.
Rooftop arrays. Carry panel output from the roof down to a charge controller or inverter mounted indoors or in a utility space.
Ground mounts. The 50 and 100 foot lengths let you set panels in an open, sunny spot away from the house, cabin or battery bank.
RVs and portable panels. The 6 and 15 foot lengths add reach between panel leads and the rest of your wiring without a long coil of extra cable.
An extension cable has a connector on each end, so it simply lengthens an existing MC4 compatible connection. Cut end PV wire has a connector on one end only, which suits runs that connect directly to a charge controller or another system component. Choose the extension when both ends of your run already use MC4 compatible plugs.
Every option on this page uses the same 10 AWG cable. A longer cable adds more conductor resistance to the circuit, so pick the shortest length that reaches comfortably and leaves a little slack.
Measure the actual path the cable will follow, including bends and drops, then choose the next length up. Keep bends gentle, since AIMS lists a bending radius of at least 5 times the outer diameter.
Keep your array within the cable's 600 V and 49.6A ratings, and also check the ratings of your panels, connectors and charge controller.
It connects to panel leads and cables that use MC4 compatible connectors, a connector style commonly used on solar panel arrays. Check your panel leads before you order.
The cable has a 600 V voltage rating and an allowable current of 49.6A.
Yes. AIMS describes the cable as weatherproof and rates it from -40 °C to +90 °C, dry or wet.
The 15, 20, 50 and 100 foot options include one cable of that length.
The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Extension Cable pairs factory-installed MC4 compatible connectors with 600 V, 49.6A tinned copper PV cable in five lengths. If you'd like help choosing a length or planning your solar wiring, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
