PV power cable ShiverPeaks BS02-450516 5 m PV4 Anderson connector

PV power cable ShiverPeaks BS02-450516 5 m PV4 Anderson connector is a fixed-length DC connection cable designed for photovoltaic systems. The cable uses PV4-type conductors and terminates in an Anderson-style connector to provide a secure, genderless interface for connecting solar modules, charge controllers or inverters. Its 5 m length simplifies temporary installations, testing, or portable PV setups where a robust, low-voltage DC link with a standardized connector is required.

Advantages

The cable combines PV4 photovoltaic conductors with an Anderson-style connector to offer consistent electrical contact, easy mating and reliable polarity protection. Its pre-terminated 5 m length eliminates on-site crimping and reduces installation time. The construction is suitable for outdoor PV use and for repeated connection cycles typical of testing or portable arrangements.

Suitable for

• Temporary photovoltaic module connections during commissioning and testing
• Portable solar generator setups and mobile PV systems
• Connecting PV modules to charge controllers, small inverters or combiners with Anderson-compatible inputs
• Site inspections and field measurements requiring a fixed-length DC lead

Key specifications

• Cable type: PV4 photovoltaic conductor suitable for DC solar applications
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector: Anderson-style genderless DC connector
• Intended use: low-voltage DC power transmission in photovoltaic systems
• Design: pre-terminated fixed-length assembly for field use and testing

How to use

Inspect the cable and connector for visible damage before use. Ensure system voltage and current ratings are compatible with the PV4 cable and Anderson connector. Connect the Anderson-style plug to the matching Anderson receptacle, observing polarity markings and locking features; the genderless design allows correct mating without separate male/female parts. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges, pinch points and excessive bending radii. For permanent installations, use appropriate strain relief and UV-protected conduits where required. Disconnect under low-load conditions when possible and store the cable in a dry, protected location.

Recommendations

Use this pre-terminated 5 m PV power cable for commissioning, field testing and portable PV setups where a reliable Anderson interface is required. Verify electrical compatibility with your system and apply standard PV installation safety practices, such as de-energizing circuits before making or breaking DC connections and ensuring correct polarity.
