AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire 500 Foot Roll

The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire 500 Foot Roll Gives Installers Enough Double Insulated Solar Wire for Full Array Wiring

The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire 500 Foot Roll is double insulated, moisture curable cross-linked cable made for photovoltaic power applications. Each roll holds 500 feet of 10 AWG tinned copper wire with a 600 V rating and a 49.6A allowable current, and you can choose a black or red sheath.

It's meant for solar installers, contractors and owners wiring larger home, cabin, farm or off-grid arrays who would rather cut every run to length than buy pre-made cables. Ordering both colors makes it simple to keep conductors color coded across a whole project.

AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire 500 Foot Roll Features

Double Insulated Cross-Linked Construction

Both the insulation and the outer sheath are polyolefin copolymer, moisture curable and cross-linked. Two layers around the conductor help protect it on outdoor solar runs.

Resists UV, Water and Weather

AIMS lists resistance to UV, water, ozone, fluids, oil, salt and general weathering. The wire is also flame retardant and RoHS compliant.

Class 5 Tinned Copper Strands

The conductor uses tinned copper strands to VDE 0295 / IEC 60228 class 5, laid out as 75/0.30 TC. Conductor resistance is 3.59 Ω/km.

UL 4703 PV Wire Approval

AIMS lists UL 4703 PV wire approval, NEC 2008 / UL 4703 PV wire as the application standard, and fire performance to IEC 60332-1 and UL 1581 1060 / VW1.

Wide Temperature Range

The wire is rated 90 °C (194 °F) dry or wet, works in ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +90 °C (-40 °F to +194 °F) and withstands short circuit temperatures up to 250 °C (482 °F).

Real-World Applications

Multi-string arrays. Wire several panel strings from one roll and cut each run to its exact length.

Ground mount and outbuilding systems. Long runs from a distant array to the equipment area are easy to cover with 500 feet on hand.

Installer stock. Keep a black roll and a red roll on the truck so color-coded wire is ready for each job.

Practical Comparison

500 Foot Roll Versus Pre-Made PV Cables

Pre-made cables come with connectors or lugs installed at set lengths. A roll takes more termination time but lets you cut every run to fit, with no extra cable coiled behind your equipment.

Black Versus Red

Both colors share the same construction and ratings. Buying one of each makes the two conductors in every run easy to tell apart.

Buyer Guidance

Plan Terminations and Routing

Every run cut from the roll needs its ends terminated, so have the right connectors, lugs and crimp tools ready. Keep bends to at least 5 times the outer diameter and keep each circuit within the wire's 600 V and 49.6A ratings.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You're wiring a large or multi-string array
• You want to cut every run to length
• You need black or red 10 AWG PV wire
• You terminate your own connectors and lugs

Common Questions

How Much Wire Is on the Roll?

Each roll holds 500 feet of 10 AWG PV wire. AIMS lists the weight as 30 lbs for 500 feet.

What Are the Voltage and Current Ratings?

The wire is rated 600 V with an allowable current of 49.6A.

Is the Wire Suitable for Outdoor Use?

Yes. It's built for photovoltaic power applications, with resistance to UV, water, ozone, salt and general weathering, and a 90 °C dry or wet rating.

What's Included

• 1 x AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire 500 Foot Roll (Black)

The red option is the same 500 foot roll with a red sheath.

Wire Every Run to Length

The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire 500 Foot Roll gives you double insulated, UL 4703 PV wire in black or red with a 600 V rating and 49.6A allowable current. If you'd like help planning wire quantities or colors for your array, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
