Common Questions
What is this cable primarily used for?
It is primarily designed to extend the connection lead for 40W-100W 12V Photonic Universe folding solar charging kits, allowing you to position your solar panels more flexibly.
What type of connectors does it have?
The cable is fitted with 50A battery plugs on both ends, which are fully compatible with standard 50A Anderson plugs.
Can I use this cable with other solar kits or devices?
While specifically designed for Photonic Universe folding solar kits, it can be used for other 12V DC wiring purposes, provided the current draw is less than 8 amps. Always verify connector compatibility and current requirements.
What is the maximum current this cable can handle?
For general applications, this cable is suitable for currents less than 8 amps. This rating aligns with the typical output of 40W-100W 12V solar panels.
Installation Notes
- Ensure all connections are secure and free from debris to maintain optimal conductivity.
- Route cables carefully to avoid kinks, sharp bends, or abrasion that could damage the insulation.
- Keep cable runs as short as practically possible to minimise voltage drop, especially in 12V systems.
- Always adhere to the specified current limits to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.
Before You Buy
- Verify that your existing solar kit or device operates at 12V DC.
- Confirm that your equipment uses 50A battery plugs (Anderson compatible) for connection.
- Check the maximum current draw of your application to ensure it is within the cable's 8-amp limit.
- Consider the total length required, accounting for any routing, to ensure 5 meters is sufficient.
Always consult your equipment's manual for specific compatibility and installation guidelines. Specifications are subject to change by the manufacturer.
