Solar Energy Cable Single Core 6mm² Red XLPE AD7 - 25m Reel

Product Overview

The Solar Cable SOLAR1X6RDR25/AD7 is a 25m Reel of 6mm² single-core solar energy cable in red, engineered for reliable DC cabling in photovoltaic (PV) systems and related renewable energy applications. Built with a flexible tinned copper conductor, robust XLPE (cross-linked polyethene) insulation, and sheath, this cable delivers dependable performance for fixed internal or external wiring between solar panels, combiner or junction boxes, and inverters or controllers. It meets the harmonised H1Z2Z2-K solar cable standard and complies with BS EN 50618, providing confidence in long-term PV system installations. The XLPE construction offers excellent resistance to ultraviolet exposure, ozone, moisture and temperature variations typical of rooftop, conduit or cable tray environments. Its halogen-free and flame-retardant properties improve safety across both home and business environments. Rated for 600-1000 V AC and up to 1800 V DC, this cable supports consistent energy transmission throughout DC circuits in solar installations. The 25m Reel length provides an installer-friendly solution for shorter DC cable runs, helping to reduce joins and simplify installation while continuing signal fidelity and overall reliability.
