Description
xVictron Solar Cable 1m / 4mm² with MC4 Male and Female Connectors (PV-ST01)
This is a pre-terminated 1 metre solar cable from Victron Energy, fitted with MC4-compatible male and female connectors (PV-ST01 type). It is designed for use in photovoltaic systems where a short, ready-made interconnect cable is needed between panels, combiners or junction points. Suitable for trade and professional installers working on residential and commercial PV installations.
Key Features
- 4mm² cross-section conductor, appropriate for standard residential and light commercial PV string wiring.
- Pre-fitted MC4-compatible male connector at one end and female connector at the other, ready for immediate use.
- PV-ST01 connector type, compatible with the widely used MC4 standard across most panel manufacturers.
- 1 metre fixed length, suited to short panel-to-panel or panel-to-combiner connections.
- Supplied by Victron Energy, a manufacturer with an established track record in solar and off-grid power equipment.
- Lightweight at 0.115 kg, easy to handle and route in tight installation spaces.
Product Overview
The 4mm² conductor size is the standard choice for most residential PV string wiring in the UK, balancing current-carrying capacity with manageable cable diameter. At 1 metre, this cable is intended for short interconnections rather than long runs. It is not a general-purpose extension cable; it is best used where a precise, short link is required between adjacent components.
The MC4-compatible PV-ST01 connectors are factory-fitted, which removes the need for field crimping and reduces the risk of poorly terminated connections. MC4 connectors are the dominant standard across the solar industry, and PV-ST01 type connectors are compatible with the vast majority of solar panels and accessories currently in use. The male-to-female configuration means this cable can be inserted directly into a PV string without additional adapters in most cases.

Installation Notes
Solar PV wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer in accordance with BS 7671 and any applicable local regulations. MC4 connectors should only be mated and de-mated using the correct tools; do not attempt to disconnect live MC4 connectors by hand. Ensure the cable rating is appropriate for the maximum short-circuit current of the PV string before installation. For grid-connected systems, G98 or G99 notification requirements apply depending on system size.
