Single jacket cable ideal for use in commercial and residential solar projects

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. is manufactured in a variety of colours including black, white, red, blue, green, yellow and orange.
