4.8 Cabling options
Ordering options include:

Connector count per
box
Q-12-10-240 1.3 m (50”) Portrait 240
Q-12-17-240 2.0 m (78”) Landscape (60-cell) 240
Q-12-20-200 2.3 m (90”) Landscape (72-cell) 200
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 an IQ 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.
