QD Cable (portrait, 1.7 m)

Supporting faster, simpler, and more reliable installations, the QD Cable is a continuous length 12 AWG cable with pre-installed connectors for IQ Commercial Microinverters. The cable is handled like standard outdoor-rated electrical wire, allowing it to be cut, spliced, and extended as needed.

The QD Cable works with IQ8 Commercial Microinverters and provides self-phase balancing and neutral sensing for phase loss protection.

This SKU of QD Cable is used for portrait PV modules, and comes with 1.7 m (5.6 ft) connector spacing.
