Amphenol Industrial Global Operations
now offers a single jacket photovoltaic
(PV) cable used for interconnection
wiring in grounded and ungrounded PV
systems.
Amphenol’s PowerLink solar cable is
ideal for use on utility solar farms and
in commercial and residential solar
projects. Designed with a smaller outer
diameter than a standard dual jacket, the
single jacket PV cable is more malleable
and makes crimping connectors easier.
The new cable, which is available from
6 AWG to 18 AWG, is sunlight resistant
and suitable for direct burial. It has a
temperature rating of 90°C wet or dry
and a cold bend of -40°C. Its voltage
ratings range from 600 V to 2,000 V and
this new RoHS compliant, UL4703-rated
cable has a flammability rating of VW-1.
The PowerLink solar cable is
manufactured in a variety of colours
including black, white, red, blue, green,
yellow and orange.
