Step 7: Terminate the Unused End of the Cable

Terminate the unused end of the Enphase Q Cable as follows:
Single-phase Q Cable
A. Remove 13 mm of the
cable sheath from the
conductors.
Use the terminator body loop
to measure.
B. Slide the hex nut
onto the cable. The
grommet inside the
terminator body
must remain in place.
C. Insert the cable into
the terminator body so
that the two wires land
on opposite sides of the
internal separator.
D. Insert a screwdriver into
the slot on the top of the
terminator to hold it in
place. Hold the
terminator body
stationary with the
screwdriver and
turn only the hex
nut to prevent the
conductors from
twisting out of the
separator.
Torque the nut to 7.0 Nm.
E. Attach the terminated cable end to the PV
racking with a cable clip or tie wrap so that the
cable and terminator do not touch the roof.
NOTE: Turn only the hex nut to prevent conductors from twisting out of the
separator.
WARNING: The terminator cannot be re-used. If you unscrew the nut, you must
discard the terminator.
