01 // Overview
Engineered for the DC Side of Solar
PV1-F is a single-core, tinned copper photovoltaic cable engineered for the DC interconnection of PV modules, combiner boxes and inverters. The cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) insulation and sheath system delivers UV resistance, flame retardancy, and a designed service life of 25 years under standard installation conditions.
The same cable platform is also produced as H1Z2Z2-K on a built-to-spec basis, and ANPU manufactures equivalent variants against any project’s specified standard — see the customization section below for how it works.

03 // Built-to-Spec
Standard Production + Customization for Your Project's Standard
ANPU manufactures PV1-F to IEC 62930 as the standard product line. Beyond standard production, the same cable platform is also tailored to your project’s required standard — H1Z2Z2-K or any equivalent regional designation — adjusting conductor class, insulation thickness, sheath marking, and test sequence to match.
Specify your target standard. ANPU manufactures to match.
You provide the standard reference, cross-section, marking and quantity. ANPU’s engineering team confirms the spec, runs samples in the in-house lab, and produces to your project requirements.

Engineer & Procurement FAQ
The questions ANPU receives most often from EPC contractors, distributors and project developers.
What's the difference between PV1-F and H1Z2Z2-K?
PV1-F is the designation under IEC 62930 (international standard). H1Z2Z2-K is the designation under TÜV 2 PfG 1169 (European origin). Both describe single-core photovoltaic cables with cross-linked insulation for DC applications. The technical requirements are substantially equivalent — the main difference is the certifying body and standard reference. ANPU manufactures the cable to IEC 62930 as the standard; the H1Z2Z2-K variant is produced as a built-to-specification customized order.
Can ANPU produce to other PV cable standards or regional specifications?
Yes. Because national and international standards differ in conductor class, insulation thickness, sheath material and test sequence, ANPU produces equivalent variants as built-to-specification custom orders rather than dual-marking a single SKU. Specify your target standard at RFQ stage — the engineering team will confirm the build, run samples and manufacture to match.
Can PV1-F cable be directly buried underground?
No. IEC 131 type supports free movable, hanging and fixed laying. IEC 132 is limited to fixed installation only. Neither is rated for direct burial. For underground DC runs, install the cable inside protective conduit or cable troughs, or specify a cable with explicit direct-burial rating.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is flexible and depends on cable size and customization level. ANPU supports trial orders for verification before mass production. Common sizes (4 mm², 6 mm², 10 mm²) in black are typically held in stock for faster dispatch. Contact the sales team for project-specific quantities.
What test reports and documents can you provide?
Technical datasheets, routine test records and factory management certifications (CCC, CE, ISO 9001/14001/45001) are available on request. IEC 62930 type test reports and IEC 60332-1-2 flame test records can be provided per SKU. For project-specific third-party testing, the in-house 3,000 m² laboratory can arrange tailored testing programs.
Is this cable compatible with MC4 connectors?
Yes. PV1-F in standard sizes (2.5 / 4 / 6 / 10 mm²) is compatible with MC4 and MC4-equivalent connectors from all major manufacturers. The cable outer diameter is designed to fit standard MC4 gland sizes. Pre-assembled cable harnesses with MC4 connectors crimped and tested are also available on request.
What's the lead time for bulk orders?
Typical lead time is 7–15 working days depending on cable type, structure complexity and order quantity. For stocked sizes, dispatch can be faster. Urgent orders are evaluated case by case — message the team on WhatsApp to confirm availability for your timeline.
