No,Ray it wasnt tray cable which has been around forever. This stuff is 
supposedly very new product.

William the modules I have been using are Sharp 167s which have an open 
circuit voltage of 29 vdc and Sharp only offers all their 165s, 167s, 
175s and 185s with 4' leads and MC jacks on the ends, which I am sold on 
for series string configuring. At one point they stopped making their 
123s with j boxes and only offered MC connects but quickly realized the 
stupidity of that and now offer j boxes again. Those 167s have a weird 
lip on the frame extrusion designed to fit with some architectural trim 
strips but I think they are getting rid of that lipped extrusion at some 
point also.
