Amphenol® 97 Series Connectors are UL recognized and CSA recognized.

PowerLink Solar Cables
Amphenol’s single conductor PowerLink Solar Cables are designed to be
highly efficient, reliable, cost effective solutions for applications in harsh
environments with extreme temperatures and rated for direct burial. PV,
USE-2, and Thermoset cables are constructed with XLPE (cross-linked
polyethylene) insulation and a tough abrasion-resistant jacket that resists
sunlight, ozone, and UV radiation. Our PowerLink cables are proven
solutions for any solar farm requiring reliable design and superior material
construction.

PowerLink Single Jacket PV Cable PowerLink Dual Jacket PV Cable
The PowerLink Single Jacket PV Cable is designed for interconnection wiring The PowerLink Dual Jacket PV Cable is designed for interconnection wiring of
of grounded or ungrounded photovoltaic power systems as described in section grounded or ungrounded photovoltaic power systems as described in section
690.31 (A) and other applicable parts of the National Electric Code, NEC, NFPA70, 690.31 (A) and other applicable parts of the National Electric Code, NEC, NFPA70,
and RoHS compliant. RoHS compliant.
Our superior single
jacket design allows the
outside of the cable to be
smaller than a standard
dual jacket PV cable.
By using only one jacket
the cable is narrower
making the termination of
a connector much easier.
