The Victron Solarcable L=5m/4sqmm is a 5 m length of 4 sqmm solar cable with MC4 male and female connectors fitted, shown with the PV-ST01 connector designation. The male and female ends let it plug into other MC4 gear at each end. The maker's part number is SCA000500000. Victron also publishes a Declaration of Conformity that covers its solar cables.

Our take

The 5 m length and 4 sqmm size are fixed by the part, with MC4-M/F connectors already fitted, so measure the run from panel to charger and check the cross-section suits your current before fitting it.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
