Replacement parts and cabling
Enphase IQ Cable planning and ordering
The Enphase IQ Cable is a continuous length of 12 AWG, double insulated, outdoor-rated cable with
integrated connectors for microinverters. These connectors are preinstalled along the IQ Cable at
intervals to accommodate varying PV module widths. The microinverters plug directly into the cable
connectors.
The cabling is compatible with a variety of PV racking systems. For a list of approved PV racking
systems, refer to the PV racking compatibility document on the Enphase website at
https:/
/enphase.com/en-ph/installers/resources/documentation.
Connector spacing options
IQ Cable is available in three connector spacing options. The gap between connectors on the cable
can be 1.3 meters, 2.0 meters, or 2.3 meters. The 1.3-meter spacing is best suited for connecting PV
modules installed in portrait orientation, while the 2.0-meter and 2.3-meter spacing allows 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.
IQ Cable options
Ordering options include:

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 12 cm (4.75") in diameter.
Enphase IQ Cable accessories
The IQ Cable is available with several accessory options for ease of installation, including:
•
IQ Field Wireable Connector (male): (Q-CONN-10M) Make connections from any field
wireable female connector.
•
IQ Field Wireable Connector (female): (Q-CONN-10F) Make connections from any IQ Cable
open connector or field wireable male connector.
