AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire With MC4 Compatible Connector to Cut End

AIMS Power 10 AWG MC4 Compatible Cut End PV Wire Connects Solar Panels Directly to Your Charge Controller Terminals

The AIMS Power 10 AWG MC4 Compatible Cut End PV Wire has a factory-installed MC4 compatible connector on one end and a cut end on the other. You plug the connector into a solar panel lead and land the cut end on a charge controller or other system component. The cable is 10 AWG tinned copper PV wire with a 600 V rating and an allowable current of 49.6A.

Choose a female or male connector in a 25 or 50 foot length, or a 100 foot set that pairs one male cable with one female cable. It's a practical choice for installers and owners wiring home, cabin, RV or off-grid solar systems who want a clean home run without adding a second set of connectors.

AIMS Power 10 AWG MC4 Compatible Cut End PV Wire Features

Connector Already Installed at the Panel End

The MC4 compatible connector comes installed from the factory, which simplifies hookup to common solar panel connectors and leaves only the controller end to terminate.

Cut End You Can Trim to Fit

The open end lets you trim the cable to the length your route needs and connect it directly to a solar charge controller or other component.

49.6A Allowable Current

AIMS rates the 10 AWG conductor for 49.6A of allowable current, which suits multiple solar panels or higher current solar circuits. Conductor resistance is 3.59 Ω/km.

Weatherproof Outdoor Construction

Tinned copper strands, XLPE insulation and a 6.4 mm jacket handle outdoor exposure. The cable is rated 90 °C dry or wet and for ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +90 °C (-40 °F to +194 °F), and AIMS rates the cable materials for more than 25 years of service life.

Real-World Applications

Controller home runs. Bring a panel string's positive and negative leads from the array to the controller's input terminals.

Custom-length runs. Cut the wire to the length your layout needs instead of coiling up extra cable behind the controller.

Long ground mount runs. The 50 foot cables and 100 foot set cover the distance between a ground mount and an equipment area.

Practical Comparison

Cut End PV Wire Versus a PV Extension Cable

An extension cable has connectors on both ends and only lengthens a plug-in connection. Cut end wire leaves the plug-in connection behind and lands on a terminal, so it fits where the array wiring meets the controller.

Single Cable Versus the 100 Foot Set

The single cables let you order the exact gender you need. The 100 foot set gives you a male cable and a female cable together in a single order.

Buyer Guidance

Match the Connector to Your Panel Leads

Check the connectors on your panel or array leads and choose the cable that mates with each one. If you want one of each, the 100 foot set includes a male cable and a female cable.

Plan the Controller End

Measure the route, allow some slack, and keep bends gentle. AIMS lists a bending radius of at least 5 times the outer diameter. Keep the array within the cable's 600 V and 49.6A ratings and your controller's input limits.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• Your panels use MC4 compatible connectors
• You're wiring panels to controller terminals
• You want to trim the cable to length
• You need 25, 50 or 100 feet of 10 AWG wire

Common Questions

Which Connector Do I Need?

A male connector mates with a female connector, so choose the gender opposite the lead you're plugging into. The 100 foot set gives you one of each.

What Are the Cable Ratings?

The 10 AWG PV wire has a 600 V voltage rating and a 49.6A allowable current. AIMS specifies UL4703 PV cable.

How Much Does It Weigh?

AIMS lists 1.5 lbs for 25 feet, 3 lbs for 50 feet and 5.6 lbs for 100 feet of cable.

What's Included

• 1 x AIMS Power 10 AWG PV Wire With Female MC4 Compatible Connector to Cut End (25 Feet)

The other options change the connector gender and the length, and the 100 foot set includes one male cable and one female cable.

Clean Connections From Panel to Controller

The AIMS Power 10 AWG MC4 Compatible Cut End PV Wire gives you a factory-installed MC4 compatible connector at the panel end and a cut end you can terminate at the controller. If you'd like help choosing the right connector or length, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
