Description
Life Cables 10 mm² Single Core DC Solar Flexible Premium Copper Cable
The Life Cables 10 mm² DC solar flexible premium copper cable is designed for
photovoltaic (PV) system interconnections — panel-to-panel strings, panel-to-combiner-box, and
inverter/battery DC connections — in residential and commercial solar installations across Pakistan.
Built with a Class 5 fine-strand flexible copper conductor and cross-linked,
UV- and ozone-resistant insulation, it is engineered specifically for outdoor rooftop and ground-mount
solar exposure, not general indoor panel wiring.
Rated for 1.5 kV DC / 1 kV AC service and built to EN 50618 / IEC 62930
(the current European/international solar-cable standard, superseding PV1‑F), this cable is suited to
direct outdoor exposure, conduit runs, and cable-tray installation in Pakistan’s high-UV, high-ambient-
temperature climate.
⚠ Electrical Safety Notice
- All solar DC wiring must be installed by a licensed / qualified solar installer or electrician, in line with IEC 60364 and local wiring regulations.
- Confirm correct cable sizing for your string current and voltage drop over run length — do not rely on ampacity figures alone without accounting for ambient temperature, conduit fill, and bundling.
- Use solar-rated (MC4 or equivalent) connectors and proper strain relief; do not terminate solar DC cable with standard AC connectors.
- DC circuits remain live whenever panels are exposed to light — isolate and de-energize strings before any work, and follow lock-out/tag-out procedure.
- Life Cables accepts no liability for installations not completed by a qualified professional in line with applicable codes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is 10 mm² DC solar cable used for?
It’s used to wire photovoltaic systems — connecting solar panels in a string, linking panels to a combiner box, and running DC power between inverters and batteries — where the cable is exposed to outdoor heat, UV, and weather.
What is the current rating of Life Cables’ 10 mm² solar cable?
. Actual current-carrying capacity depends on installation method (open air, conduit, tray), ambient temperature, and bundling — consult a qualified solar installer for your specific string design.
What is the voltage rating?
0.6/1 kV AC and up to 1.5 kV DC, suitable for standard residential and commercial PV string voltages.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor and direct sun exposure?
Yes — the cross-linked, UV- and ozone-resistant insulation is specifically designed for permanent outdoor installation, including direct roof-top sun exposure, unlike standard PVC-insulated building wire.
What is the difference between this and a general-purpose PVC panel wire?
General PVC panel wire (e.g. BSS-6004/IEC 60227 rated cable) is designed for indoor switchboard and control-panel wiring and is not UV- or weather-rated. This 10 mm² solar cable uses cross-linked, UV-resistant insulation built for permanent outdoor PV exposure and higher DC voltage service.
What colours are available?
Red and Black — allowing clear positive/negative polarity marking across a DC string, per standard solar installation practice.
What standards does this cable comply with?
EN 50618, IEC 62930, and IEC 60228 Class 5. PSQCA certified — [CONFIRM] verify current certificate at psqca.com.pk.
How many metres per reel and what does it weigh?
[CONFIRM reel length and weight]. For bulk orders or custom cut lengths, call 0332-8153200.
