modules installed in portrait orientation, while the 2.0-meter and 2.3-meter spacing allow you to
install in landscape orientation for PV modules with 54-cell/108-half-cell, 60-cell/120-half-cell, 66-
cell/132-half-cell, 72-cell/144-half-cell configurations.

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.
Enphase IQ Cable accessories
The IQ Cable is available with several accessory options for ease of installation, including:
•
Raw IQ 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 is 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.
•
IQ Relay: single-phase (Q-RELAY-1P-INT) or multi-phase (Q-RELAY-3P-INT). For the Italy region,
use IQ Relay (Q-RELAY-2-3P-ITA) for both single-phase and multi-phase applications.
