Solar cable extension set InLine 95655, 6 mm², black/red, 0.5 m

InLine Solar Cable Extension Set 95655 is a 0.5 m DC extension cable with 6 mm² conductors in red and black, designed for short photovoltaic interconnections. The compact length and clear polarity colouring make it suitable for extending connections between adjacent solar panels, linking panels to junction boxes, or connecting nearby charge controllers and inverters. The cable set is intended for DC low-voltage use within solar PV systems and provides a straightforward solution where short, reliable extensions are needed.

Advantages

The 6 mm² conductor cross-section supports typical mid-range PV string currents while keeping voltage drop low over the half-metre length. Colour-coded cores (red for positive, black for negative) simplify correct polarity identification during installation. The short, flexible cable length reduces excess cabling in compact installations and is convenient for tidy routing inside junction boxes or conduits. Materials are chosen for stable electrical contact and reliable mechanical handling in standard rooftop and ground-mounted PV setups.

Suitable for

• Extending DC connections between adjacent solar panels
• Wiring inside junction boxes and combiner boxes
• Short runs from panels to nearby charge controllers or microinverters
• Temporary test connections during system commissioning

Key specifications

• Conductor cross-section: 6 mm²
• Length: 0.5 m (pair)
• Core colours: red (positive), black (negative)
• Intended application: DC photovoltaic connections
• Construction: flexible stranded conductors suitable for repeated handling

How to use

Strip appropriate lengths of insulation from the cable ends and make secure connections using suitable PV-rated terminals, lugs, or connector blocks compatible with 6 mm² conductors. Observe correct polarity—connect the red core to the positive terminal and the black core to the negative terminal. Ensure all terminations are tightened to the torque specified by the terminal manufacturer and protected from moisture and mechanical strain by using junction boxes, sealing compounds, or cable glands as required. For installations on roofs or exposed locations, route and fix the cable to avoid chafing and excessive bending.

Recommendations

Use this short extension only for low-voltage DC circuits within photovoltaic systems and avoid combining with dissimilar cable types without proper connectors. Verify system voltage and current ratings before use and follow local electrical codes and safety practices when making DC connections.
