AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire Set in Black and Red With Bare Ends

The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire Set Gives You Matched Black and Red Solar Wire With Bare Ends Ready for Custom Terminations

The AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire Set pairs black and red 10 AWG PV wire with bare ends on both sides. Because nothing is pre-installed, you can cut and terminate each wire the way your equipment requires. The wire uses tinned copper strands, carries a 600 V rating and has an allowable current of 49.6A.

Choose a 9 foot or 15 foot set. It's a handy option for solar installers and owners doing their own installs who want short, color-coded runs for home, cabin, RV or off-grid systems without buying a full roll.

AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire Set Features

Two Colors for Easy Identification

One black and one red wire make it simple to tell the two conductors apart during installation and later when you troubleshoot.

Bare Ends for Customized Installations

Both ends are bare, so you can trim each wire to length and add the terminals, lugs or connectors that fit your equipment.

Solar Grade 10 AWG Cable

AIMS designs this UL4703 PV cable for solar applications. The tinned copper conductor (75/0.30 TC) has a conductor resistance of 3.59 Ω/km and an allowable current of 49.6A.

Weatherproof Construction

XLPE insulation and a 6.4 mm jacket give the wire a 90 °C (194 °F) rating in dry or wet locations and an ambient range of -40 °C to +90 °C (-40 °F to +194 °F). AIMS describes the cable as weatherproof.

Real-World Applications

Short equipment runs. Connect solar components that sit close together, using the colors to keep the two conductors straight.

Custom terminations. Crimp on the terminals your controller or other equipment needs instead of adapting a pre-made cable.

RV and van solar. Nine or 15 feet of color-coded wire suits compact mobile systems where long rolls would go to waste.

Practical Comparison

Wire Set Versus a 500 Foot Roll

A roll makes sense when you're wiring a large array. The set gives you just the black and red lengths you need for a smaller job, with no spool to store.

Wire Set Versus Pre-Terminated PV Cable

Cables with factory-installed connectors or lugs save termination time when the ends match your equipment. The bare-end set gives you full control over length and termination when they don't.

Buyer Guidance

Plan Your Terminations

Have the right terminals and crimping tool ready before you install, since both ends arrive bare. Keep bends to at least 5 times the outer diameter, and keep the circuit within the wire's 600 V and 49.6A ratings.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You want black and red wire in one set
• You plan to add your own terminals
• Your run is 9 or 15 feet
• You need 10 AWG PV wire for solar

Common Questions

What Comes in the Set?

The set includes black and red 10 AWG PV wire with bare ends, in the length you choose.

What Are the Ratings?

The wire is rated 600 V with a 49.6A allowable current and a 90 °C dry or wet temperature rating. It withstands short circuit temperatures up to 250 °C (482 °F).

Can It Be Used Outdoors?

Yes. AIMS describes the PV cable as weatherproof and rates it for -40 °C to +90 °C ambient temperatures.
