Solar & Tri-Rated Cable

Solar cable is specifically designed for use with solar panels and charge controllers, providing excellent resistance to UV exposure, moisture and extreme temperatures. This makes it ideal for roof-mounted solar installations where durability and weather resistance are critical. When paired with MC4 connectors and MPPT charge controllers, solar cable ensures efficient energy transfer from your panels to your leisure battery system, helping maximise performance in off-grid conditions.

Tri-rated cable, also known as panel wire or switchgear cable, is a high-performance single-core cable designed for internal electrical wiring. It is certified to meet three international standards—BS 6231, UL 758 and CSA 22.2—ensuring safety, flexibility and compatibility across a wide range of applications. This makes it a popular choice for camper van electrical systems where reliability and compliance are essential.

Designed with flexible stranded copper conductors and heat-resistant PVC insulation, tri-rated cable offers excellent current-carrying capacity and can typically withstand temperatures up to 105°C. Its flame-retardant properties and durability make it ideal for use in fuse boxes, control panels, battery connections and 12V distribution systems within your camper van.
