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 120 mm in diameter.
5.6 Enphase IQ Cable accessories
The IQ Cable is available with several accessory options for ease of installation, including:
• IQ Raw Cable (Q-25-RAW-300 for single-phase, Q-25-RAW-3P-300 for multi-phase): Length 300
meters. Raw cable with no connectors (optional).
• IQ Field Wireable Connectors (male and female; single-phase: Q-CONN-R-10M and Q-CONN-R-10F;
multi-phase: Q-CONN-3P-10M and Q-CONN-3P-10F).
• IQ Cable Clips: (ET-CLIP-100) Used to fasten cabling to the racking or to secure looped cabling.
• IQ Disconnect Tool (Q-DISC-10): Disconnect Tool for IQ Cable connectors, DC connectors, and AC
module mount.
• IQ Sealing Cap (female): (Q-SEAL-10) One needed to cover each unused connector on the cabling.
• IQ Terminator (Q-TERM-R-10 for single-phase or Q-TERM-3P-10 for multi-phase) One for each AC cable
segment end; typically, two are needed per branch circuit.
• Use a Legrand Phase Coupler (LPC-01) for a multi-phase system for phase coupling if IQ Relay is not
installed in the multi-phase system.
