Cable Digitus DK-SCIC6R-0500 50m 6mm² Red PV Cable 1500V DC

The Digitus DK-SCIC6R-0500 is a 50 m, 6 mm² red PV cable designed for DC photovoltaic installations up to 1500 V (and AC up to 1 kV). It features a tinned copper conductor and XLPO insulation and jacket for resistance to UV, ozone, moisture and mechanical stress. The cable is flexible, weatherproof and rated for a wide temperature range, making it suitable for long-term outdoor and indoor solar system connections between modules, inverters and other PV components.

Advantages

The cable combines tinned copper conductors for improved conductivity and corrosion protection with a flexible conductor construction for easier routing and installation. XLPO insulation and outer jacket provide high resistance to UV, weathering, heat and ozone while meeting EN 50618:2014 flame-retardant requirements. Low conductor resistance and high insulation resistance reduce power loss and increase operational safety. The product is designed for durability and a long service life in professional and private PV projects.

How to use

Select appropriate cable lengths and route the Digitus DK-SCIC6R-0500 between solar modules, module junction boxes and inverters according to local electrical codes and system design. Strip insulation and terminate the tinned copper conductor with compatible PV-rated connectors or lugs. Ensure correct polarity and secure routing to avoid mechanical damage; maintain proper bending radii and use clamps or cable ties suitable for outdoor UV-exposed installations. Test continuity and insulation resistance after installation and before applying full system voltage.

Recommendations

For long-term outdoor use, avoid prolonged contact with chemicals or solvents and mount the cable with UV-resistant fasteners. Follow EN 50618 and local regulations for PV installations and perform regular inspections for abrasion or connector corrosion. Use the cable within the specified temperature and voltage ratings to ensure safety and longevity.
