10 AWG Solar Panel to Charge Controller Extension Cable
Equipment Type and Primary Applications
This 10 AWG red-and-black solar extension cable connects a solar panel directly to a charge controller over a 10 ft, 20 ft, or 30 ft run. It is designed for photovoltaic wiring where one end requires a pre-installed solar connector and the other connects directly to a charge controller through bare wire.

Installation and Maintenance Requirements
Connect the solar connector end to the compatible panel connection and terminate the bare-wire end at the charge controller. Select the cable length required for the installation: 10 ft, 20 ft, or 30 ft. Route and secure the cable to protect the insulation and connections from physical damage. Inspect the cable, connector, and termination points for damage or deterioration during system maintenance.

Branding/References
Model references: RS-10101, RS-20101, and RS-30101. Package dimensions and gross weights are 9 × 8 × 2 in and 2 lb; 8 × 8 × 3 in and 3 lb; and 9 × 8 × 4 in and 4 lb, respectively.
Differentiators
The cable combines a factory-installed solar connector with a bare-wire charge-controller end, eliminating the need for a matching connector at the controller while supporting 1000V DC and 30A photovoltaic applications.
