AIMS Power 10 AWG Cut End to Lugged End PV Wire Gives You a Finished 3/8 Inch Lug on One End and Room to Trim on the Other
The AIMS Power 10 AWG Cut End to Lugged End PV Wire is a length of 10 AWG tinned copper PV wire with a 3/8 inch lugged end on one side and a bare cut end on the other. It carries a 600 V rating and a 49.6A allowable current, and it comes in 15, 30 and 50 foot lengths.
It's built for installers and owners wiring solar equipment who want one end ready to fasten down and the other end open to cut to length. Use it on home, cabin, RV or off-grid systems where the run starts at a terminal that takes a 3/8 inch lug.
AIMS Power 10 AWG Cut End to Lugged End PV Wire Features
3/8 Inch Lug Already Installed
One end arrives with a 3/8 inch lug in place, so that side is ready to fasten as soon as the cable is routed.
Cut End for a Custom Fit
The opposite end is bare. Trim it to the exact length your layout needs and terminate it the way your equipment requires.
Solar Grade 10 AWG Cable
The conductor is 75 strands of tinned copper (75/0.30 TC) with a conductor resistance of 3.59 Ω/km, inside XLPE insulation and a 6.4 mm jacket. AIMS specifies UL4703 PV cable with a 600 V rating and a 49.6A allowable current.
Rated for Wide Temperature Swings
The cable 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
Lug terminal runs. Fasten the lugged end at a terminal that takes a 3/8 inch lug and route the cut end to the next component.
Custom-length wiring. Order the next length up and trim the bare end to fit, so the run looks tidy without a coil of extra wire.
Mobile and off-grid systems. The 15 foot length suits short RV and van runs, while the 30 and 50 foot lengths reach across a cabin or shop.
Practical Comparison
Lugged and Cut End Wire Versus Plain PV Wire
Plain PV wire needs both ends prepared on site. This cable saves you one termination, since the 3/8 inch lug is already on, while still leaving one end open for trimming.
15 Feet Versus 30 or 50 Feet
All three lengths use the same 10 AWG cable and the same ends. Choose the shortest length that reaches your route with a little slack, since longer cable adds conductor resistance.
Buyer Guidance
Check the Lug and the Route
Confirm your terminal takes a 3/8 inch lug, then measure the path the cable will follow. Keep bends to at least 5 times the outer diameter and keep the circuit within the cable's 600 V and 49.6A ratings.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- Your terminal takes a 3/8 inch lug
- You want to trim the other end yourself
- You need 15, 30 or 50 feet of 10 AWG PV wire
Common Questions
What Size Is the Lug?
AIMS lists the lugged end as 3/8 inch on all three lengths.
Does It Have MC4 Compatible Connectors?
No. One end has the 3/8 inch lug and the other end is a bare cut end.
What Are the Electrical Ratings?
The 10 AWG PV wire is rated 600 V with a 49.6A allowable current and a conductor resistance of 3.59 Ω/km.
What's Included
- 1 x AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire With Cut End to 3/8 Inch Lugged End (15 Feet)
The 30 and 50 foot options include one cable of that length.
A Finished End Where You Need It
The AIMS Power 10 AWG Cut End to Lugged End PV Wire combines a 3/8 inch lug, a trimmable cut end and 600 V, 49.6A PV cable in three lengths. If you'd like help choosing a length for your run, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
