PV PowerStation Cable ShiverPeaks 5m PV4-Anderson — ShiverPeaks 5 m solar power cable with PV4 connector

ShiverPeaks PV PowerStation Cable ShiverPeaks 5m PV4-Anderson is a 5 meter pre-terminated solar power cable designed for PV systems and portable power stations. The cable features a PV4-style Anderson connector for secure DC connection and reliable current transfer. It is intended to simplify wiring between solar panels, batteries and inverters by providing a fixed-length, factory-terminated cable that reduces installation time and the need for onsite crimping or soldering.

Advantages

The ShiverPeaks 5 m solar power cable delivers a ready-made, durable connection solution that minimizes assembly errors and improves safety during installation. The PV4-Anderson compatible connector ensures a low-resistance DC contact with a firm latch for vibration-resistant use. The fixed length and pre-terminated ends reduce the risk of incorrect polarity or loose connections and allow straightforward replacement or reconfiguration of system components.

Suitable for

• Connecting portable solar panels to power stations and charge controllers
• Linking battery banks to inverters or DC distribution points
• Temporary or semi-permanent PV setups for camping, RVs or fieldwork
• Small off-grid or backup power installations requiring a pre-terminated DC cable

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector type: PV4-style Anderson DC connector
• Application: DC power transmission for photovoltaic systems and portable power stations
• Construction: pre-terminated, fixed-length cable for quick installation
• Suitable for outdoor use when installed according to system requirements

How to use

Inspect both the PV panel and power station connectors to ensure compatibility with the PV4-style Anderson plug. Align the connector halves and engage the latch until the connector seats fully to establish a secure DC connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp edges and high temperatures, and secure it with appropriate clamps or ties to prevent strain on the connector. For disconnection, depress the latch and separate the connector halves; always isolate power sources before disconnecting.

Recommendations

Use the cable within the voltage and current ratings of your PV modules and power station. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight where possible by providing mechanical protection or routing the cable through conduit. Periodically inspect the connector for corrosion, dirt or wear and keep contacts clean and dry. For installations with exposure to moisture or heavy wear, consider additional protective measures such as heat-shrink, weatherproof boots or strain relief.
