JYFT 10AWG(6mm²) Solar Extension Cable with PV Compatible Female and Male Connector (10FT Red + 10FT Black)

This is not a big brand one, but the cable is well built with good quality. Use it to extend the portable solar panel which has MC4 connectors. The other end is opened without connectors that you can make your own whatever conversion adapter or hardwired into the solar controller. The wire is a stranded type, not a single solid one, so it offers great flexibility. Price is reasonable, good build quality with sturdy MC4 connectors in ~AWG10 cable which can carry up to 30A. Recommended solar panels extension cables. Keep in mind that they are in male and female MC4 connectors on one end of each cable, and the other end is open for you to hardwired or cramp your own connector.

Summary: When it comes to extension cables, two rules of thumb: a) buy the best cables you can (be it quality or size), and b) run the shortest length you can get away with. Observations: These are sold in four lengths: 6, 10, 20 and 30 feet. If you estimate a pair of MC4 connector at $1/set, then the relative price per foot (which is how wire is sold) is respectively (and dividing by two for a the pair): 6ft ($1.17), 10ft ($1.05), 20ft ($0.78), and 30ft ($0.75). So if you need additional 10AWG wire for other projects, you might want to consider the longer lenghts. Pros: Good fit & finish; cable is clearly marked 1x6.0mm^2, which is equivalent to 10AWG; standard MC-4 connectors. Cons: Single side termination. Conclusion: Rating the 20/30-ft 5-stars, and 6/10-ft at 4-stars (based on cost per foot of wire).

I have no experience with these connectors, so perhaps this behavior is normal, but almost had to make the connections with pliers. Perhaps this is necessary to assure water tightness.

I love the 10 foot length. This is a very usable length for getting where I need it, and without creating waste. The connectors are all sealed well to prevent water from getting in, and they feel very well made. I love the stranded copper for dealing with high amps and proven longevity. Overall great cables. Highly recommended.

-These are solid medium duty MC-4 extension cables. -At the time of this writing, I do not know the asking price, making it difficult to assess whether they are a good value or not. -However, I have tested a lot of JYFT brand items, and the price always seems very competitive, and better quality than similarly prices chinese brands. -JYFT is a chinese brand, but theyve been around for 15 years, not a fly by night brand. -They specialize in cables, so theyre better than a generic chinese brand. -If you have any issues they have multiple ways to contact customer support. -Ive tried several other cables from this brand, theyre all good quality and good price - solid medium grade or even upper-medium grade. -These are no exception to the quality I was expecting - cable is medium duty, connectors are good gauge copper. -Some people were complaining that the material isnt copper. Thats not accurate - they have a weatherproof coating on top of the copper, giving it the silver color, but the core is solid copper.

I added Anderson power pole connectors to the other end and these cables are working well in my solar setup.

These cables have extra thick insulation (just over 1/4 inch), and look like the ones in my current solar-panel installation. The wire is stranded tinned copper. The connectors are installed with proper polarity to connect to your controller, and I am using them to couple additional panels (additional connectors were required). The connectors are not the quick-disconnect type, but made for a permanent installation. I expect these cables to last for the life of the installation.

I put a couple of solar panels on top of our Metris. These are the type of cables that work with them. Dont really need 10awg for serial connection with high voltage/low amps but you do if connecting the other way. I do plan to work on a system for home as well. These are stranded tinned copper.

I needed an extension cable a small RV solar panel that was being moved, and I had no clue about brands, but then i saw a JFYT cable. Ive purchased several electronics cables from JFYT (HDMI, USB, and Toslink) and Ive been impressed with the build quality for the price. I was also impressed that those products, basically commodity products, contained the brand name embossed on each end of the cable. This extension cable is like all my JFTY cables in all respects: Well built Solid connectors Correct length JFYT log embossed on connectors. To me, that last one, the embossed company name, is important in comparing commodity products. When I see a company name on a product like this, especially one that is embossed and permanent, is that the company is spending money to build a brand name rather than trying to make the one sale and move on. They want to build a brand name and are proud of the product they are selling. Importantly, it indicates that the company WANTS to be found by its customers - the last generic cable I had go bad had no name / logo on it and I couldnt figure out if it had any warranty, no less find the company to pursue it. Bottom line: its a well-built cable that performs properly made by a company that is building its brand and is easy to find in the event you need support.

For my situation I just needed this length of 10 gauge cables in a stranded and therefore flexible construction. These provided exactly what I needed. The connectors seem to be fine but actually I snipped them off didnt use them in my application.
