MC Connector suppliers [RE-wrenches]

[Warren Lauzon]

<x-flowed>

The standard USE2 type stuff is about the same price as you noted, but have 
had less luck finding any of the finer stranded more flexible cable at a 
reasonable price. Most "standard" #10 USE-2 is 7-strand, which is not very 
flexible and does not work well with the MC connectors. We used to pay like 
18 cents a foot for the fine strand stuff from MC, but the latest quote was 
like a 250% increase in price.

We get most of our wire from Anixter but cannot find a listing for that.

We are gearing up to make the new Solarline 2 cables, that is what prompted 
to look for alternative sources for the wire. Since there is currently a mix 
of both the Solarline-1 and Solarline-2 panels out there, we need to be able 
to make cables for both and some hybrid cables for adapting.
