The Anker SOLIX MC4 Extension Cable (5m) adds about 16 feet of reach to a solar panel's MC4 leads, so the panel can sit in full sun while your power station stays in the shade, inside your RV, or indoors.

Where it goes in your solar setup
An extension cable sits between the panel's MC4 leads and the solar charging cable for your power station. It lengthens the run. It does not replace the cable that plugs into your power station's solar input, so check which input your power station uses before you order.
The Anker 440W Rigid Solar Panel 2-Pack uses MC4 connectors, and Anker ships it without charging cables for shipments from September 22, 2026.
Need more reach? The Anker SOLIX MC4 Extension Cable 10m is the longer version.
