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

Product Overview

The Solar Cable SOLAR1X6RDR50/AD7 is a 50m Reel of 6mm² single-core solar energy cable in red, designed for reliable DC cabling in photovoltaic (PV) systems and related renewable energy installations. It features a flexible tinned copper conductor with strong XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation and sheath that delivers uniform performance for fixed internal or external wiring applications. This cable meets the harmonised H1Z2Z2-K solar standard and complies with BS EN 50618, ensuring a long service life and safe operation in PV environments. The XLPE insulation 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 domestic and commercial settings. 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 DC runs, helping reduce joins and simplifying installation between solar modules, junction boxes or inverter connections.
