Solar Energy Cable Single Core 6mm² Black XLPE AD7 -50m Reel

Product Overview

The Solar Cable SOLAR1X6BKR50/AD7 is a 50m Reel of 6mm² single-core solar energy cable designed for efficient DC cabling in photovoltaic (PV) systems and associated electrical power installations. It features a flexible tinned copper conductor with strong XLPE (cross-linked polyethene) insulation and sheath that delivers dependable performance for fixed internal or external wiring applications. This cable meets the harmonised H1Z2Z2-K solar standard and complies with BS EN 50618, ensuring long service life and safe operation in PV environments. The XLPE construction provides excellent resistance to ultraviolet exposure, ozone, moisture and temperature variations, rendering it suitable for rooftop, conduit or cable tray installations. Its halogen-free and flame-retardant properties improve safety in both residential and commercial installations. Rated for 600-1000 V AC and up to 1800 V DC, this cable supports dependable energy transmission throughout solar arrays and DC distribution paths. The 50m Reel offers an installer-friendly cable length for mid-range runs, helping to reduce joins while simplifying installation between panels, junction boxes or inverter connections.
