Cable Digitus DK-SCIC6R-0200 20m 6mm² Red UV-resistant 1500V DC

The Digitus DK-SCIC6R-0200 is a 20 m, 6 mm² red solar cable designed for indoor and outdoor photovoltaic installations. It supports DC voltages up to 1500 V (AC 1 kV) and is built with a tinned copper conductor and XLPO insulation and jacket for long-term outdoor performance. The cable meets EN 50618:2014 flame-retardant requirements and is rated for temperatures from -40°C to +90°C, making it suitable for connections between solar modules, inverters and other PV components.

Advantages

This solar cable offers high conductivity and corrosion protection due to its tinned copper conductor, while the flexible, finely stranded structure simplifies installation. XLPO insulation and jacket provide UV, ozone and weather resistance for extended outdoor life, and the cable's specifications (low conductor resistance and high insulation resistance) reduce power losses and increase operational safety. The product is certified flame-retardant per EN 50618:2014 and is designed for up to 25 years of service life under normal PV conditions.

Suitable for

• Interconnection of photovoltaic modules
• Connection between modules and inverters
• Fixed outdoor DC cabling in solar arrays

How to use

Route the Digitus 6 mm² solar cable between modules, string combiner boxes and inverters following standard PV installation practices. Ensure proper strain relief and protect terminations with appropriate connectors or junctions rated for DC 1500 V. Strip insulation according to connector manufacturer recommendations to avoid nicking the conductor, and fasten cable runs with UV-resistant clips or conduits where mechanical protection is required. Follow local electrical codes and safety procedures when working on live systems.

Recommendations

For long-term reliability, avoid sharp bends and mechanical abrasion; keep the cable away from heat sources beyond its rated temperature range. Use compatible, DC-rated connectors and ensure regular visual inspections for insulation damage or connector corrosion during the system lifetime.
