The Cabling System is flexible enough to adapt to almost any solar design. To determine the cable type, you need,
apply the following considerations:
• When mixing PV modules in both portrait and landscape orientation, you may need to transition
between cable types. See the preceding table for available cable types.
• To transition between cable types, install a Field Wireable connector pair.
• In situations where portrait modules are widely spaced, you may need to use landscape spaced
cables for the portrait-oriented PV modules and create loops of excess cable, if needed.
WARNING: Do not form loops smaller than 12 cm (4.75”) in diameter
