Review on πŸ”Œ GS Power Flexible 10 AWG 50ft Red/Black Bonded Zip Cord Cable: High-Quality Oxygen Free Copper for Car Audio & LED Light Wiring by Mark Gancio

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Used to make custom solar panel extensions with MC4 connectors.

UPDATE 10/2021: This cable reliably transmits 10A+ current from two 100W solar panels to a Newpowa 15A MPPT charge controller and a 12V power supply consisting of two SLA/ AGM lead-acid batteries with a Capacity of 35Ah. Approximately 6 months of outdoor exposure in a hot, humid, rainy Pittsburgh summer had no effect on this cable other than a slight fade in color due to UV exposure. I will definitely be buying a GS cable again (I recently bought the same item in 12g). A 100w solar panel I placed on the roof just above our bedroom to charge 1 of 2 portable power packs (they control a window fan, some lights and charge phones/electronics). The cable is very pleasant to the touch, flexible and quite easy to work with. The actual outer insulation is a bit thicker than a THHN or THWN cable (which I used for a separate extension) so I didn't have to coat the ends of the MC4 connectors with silicone sealant like I did with the cable. Caliber 10 THWN. The internal copper strands are thinner but more than THWN and I assume this gives extra flexibility combined with softer insulation than Vinylon. I will update this review with test data once we have a nice sunny day.

Pros
  • GPT quality PVC insulation for the automotive industry. Oil and gas resistant. Temperature range: -40Β°F to +176Β°F
Cons
  • No instructions
