Solar cable and connectors, sold by the reel

The useful thing this supplier does is sell cable that is already finished.

What that means

A pair of ten-metre solar cables with connectors fitted at both ends, in red and black. A pair of one-metre H1Z2Z2-K extension leads. A set of MC4 connectors. Nothing to strip, nothing to crimp, nothing to get wrong on a roof.

Where the listings are precise

The extension leads cite H1Z2Z2-K by designation and name tinned copper. That is the correct code for photovoltaic cable, and stating it says the short bridge in a run is the same specification as the long part.

Where they are not

The ten-metre made-up pair cites no designation at all, and neither product publishes a voltage rating or a temperature range. Two listings from one supplier, one with the code and one without.

And a converter

A 1500 W voltage converter sits in the range too, which is a different business from cable. Its page is read on its own terms.
