The AIMS Power 12 AWG 3 Wire Cable Connects Your Inverter to an AC Terminal Block With Lugs on One End and Bare Ends on the Other
The AIMS Power 12 AWG 3 Wire Cable is a heavy duty, UL Listed 12 AWG cable with three conductors inside one jacket. One end has ring lugs and the other end is bare, a layout AIMS designed for wiring direct connect AC terminal blocks.
It's for inverter owners and installers who need a dependable connection between an inverter and an AC terminal block. Choose a length of 6, 12, 25 or 60 feet, with either large or small lugs.
AIMS Power 12 AWG 3 Wire Cable Features
Lugs and Bare Ends Already in Place
The lugs are already crimped on one end and the other end is bare. AIMS says this pre-configured layout supports efficient wiring to direct connect AC terminal blocks while keeping the connection secure.
Three Conductors in One Cable
All three wires run inside a single black jacket, so you route one cable instead of three loose wires. AIMS's photos show black, white and green insulated conductors.
Flexible and Easy to Route
AIMS built this cable for flexibility and long-term durability, so it's easy to handle and route between your inverter and the terminal block.
Two Lug Sizes to Match Your Terminals
Every length comes with large lugs or small lugs. In AIMS's photos the small lug version has red insulated ring terminals, so you can pick the version that fits the terminals you're connecting to.
Real-World Applications
Inverter to AC terminal block. Make the connection between an inverter and its AC terminal block with a cable that's already terminated.
Direct connect installs. Use the lug and bare end layout to wire inverters that connect directly to an AC terminal block.
Longer equipment runs. The 25 and 60 foot options reach a terminal block that sits farther from the inverter.
Practical Comparison
Large Lugs Versus Small Lugs
Both versions share the same 12 AWG 3 wire cable and bare ends. The only difference is lug size, so choose the one that fits the screws or studs on your terminals.
Pre-Terminated Cable Versus Building Your Own
Building your own cable means buying 12 AWG multi-conductor cable and ring lugs and crimping each wire. This cable comes cut to length with lugs already on, ready to install.
Buyer Guidance
Check Your Terminals Before You Order
Look at the AC terminals you're connecting to and confirm which lug size fits. Follow your inverter's manual for AC wiring and wire gauge. If you're unsure which lug option you need, ask the Outbound Power team before you order.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You're wiring an inverter to an AC terminal block
- You want lugs on one end and bare ends on the other
- You need a 6, 12, 25 or 60 foot run
Common Questions
