Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
This is a premium quality replacement part from solarika / Aftermarket, manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) standards for photovoltaic systems.
How do I know if it is compatible?
We recommend checking the SKU/MPN (5QM40RB) and verifying your solar panel uses standard MC4 or MC4-compatible connectors. If your current connectors look the same, these will fit.
Can these cables be buried underground?
While these cables are highly resistant to moisture and UV, it is standard practice to use a conduit if the cable is to be permanently buried to protect against mechanical damage.
