Description
xVictron Solar Cable 3m / 4mm² with MC4 Male and Female Connectors (PV-ST01)
A pre-assembled 3-metre solar cable from Victron Energy, fitted with MC4-compatible male and female connectors (PV-ST01 type). Designed for connecting solar panels to combiner boxes, charge controllers or other PV system components, this cable is suited to professional installers who need a reliable, ready-to-use solution without field-terminating connectors on site.
Key Features
- 3-metre length with 4mm² cross-section, suitable 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 installation.
- PV-ST01 connector type, compatible with the widely used MC4 standard across most solar panel manufacturers.
- 4mm² conductor cross-section supports typical PV string currents while keeping resistive losses low over a 3-metre run.
- Supplied by Victron Energy, ensuring consistent quality and compatibility with Victron PV system components.
- Lightweight at 0.384 kg, making it straightforward to handle during roof or ground-mount installations.
Product Overview
This cable is intended for use in photovoltaic systems where a short, pre-terminated run is needed between a panel output and the next connection point in the string. The 4mm² conductor size is a common choice for residential PV installations, balancing current-carrying capacity with manageable cable diameter. Having the MC4 connectors factory-fitted removes the need for a crimping tool on site and reduces the risk of incorrectly terminated connections.
The PV-ST01 connector format is mechanically and electrically compatible with the MC4 standard, which is the dominant connector type used on solar panels globally. This means the cable can be used to extend or bridge panel connections in most standard PV arrays. The male-to-female configuration allows it to be inserted directly into an existing string without additional adapters.

Installation Notes
This cable is intended for use in DC PV circuits and should be installed by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited solar installer. Ensure the cable rating is appropriate for the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of your PV array before installation. MC4 connectors must only be mated and de-mated using the correct MC4 disconnect tool; do not attempt to separate live connectors by hand. All PV wiring should comply with BS 7671 and any applicable local regulations.
