Review: Good cable - Cable works fine with goal zero products. We are very happy with our goal zero generator and have purchased three more over time.
Review: These cables are for 100W panels or Less, for 200W+ applications, get a thicker cable! - I just tested these and they do lose 10% power per cable. If you put 2 together for 60 feet, you will lose 20% power. And also, at 200W-220W they become hot almost instantly (in the shade and cool conditions) so that tells me these would be dangerous to use with panels > 100W. I think these might work well with say a Jackery 500 and a 100W panel (either glass panel or a Jackery 100W foldable panel), but would be terrible to use with a 200W glass panel or with a 200W power brick. Not only will you lose 10%, they will get hot and are so thin I would not be surprised if they shocked you a little bit if you grabbed the wire and were pumping 200+W through them. Be safe and just use these with a 100W panel or Lower. If you need an extension for 200W panel or a Series setup with 2 or more 100W panels or even 2x 200W panels, get a 10AWG red and black MC4 extension cable (they sell those here on desertcart in 20 feet lengths) and it will be safe and you will have no power loss. These are cheap at $24.95 and you get a generous length of 30 feet, so these are not bad for 100W or less applications, and as another user said, since the wire is thinner, it makes it light weight and more portable for backpacking, etc. But if you got 2 or 3 200W glass panels and are charging up a Bluetti eb240 at 330W to 495W or something big like that, these wires will probably catch on fire, melt, and/or shock you (and prior to melting, 10-20% of the power will not make it to the power station anyways).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this 8mm extension cable work to connect the Goal Zero 1500 to a Boulder 200 solar panel briefcase?**
A: Yes, this is the correct extension cable for the paired Goal Zero Yeti 1500 and Boulder 200 solar panel.

**Q: Is it safe and up to code to run this cable fed from a Boulder 100 panel through my attic and wall?**
A: You would have to check with your local electrical inspector.

**Q: Are there any concerns with 30 ft of 16 awg wire and the voltage loss in between. Would a lower gauge wire be better for a longer run.**
A: With any extension cord there will be a loss of power. GZ website estimates about a 10% reduction of power mostly due to the connections. Not sure about difference in gauging.

**Q: can I charge this off my car's cigarette plug?**
A: This is an EXTENSION CABLE not a device you charge. Just to be clear. However if you have an adpator that will connect to a Car Cig plug sure and then the other end to your GZ battery sure. I have only used it with my 60W Allspower folding solar panels to the GZ 1400W. It's worked flawlessly except for one tiny itty but ultra annoyance is the plug I use to adapt to the Allspower is not tight enough to stay connected well. Any little movement and it's slipped apart or far enough to no longer make contact. So windy or someone moving it every so slight can cause this. I now do have a different adaptor that seems to be a little more stable I took off a different all purpose connecting kit but still a little too loose. I don't know to blame this extention cable or the Allspower. I have no issues with the Allspower otherwise with any other charging just this cable itself. Would I buy again yes. I also checked prices on GZ's webpage because it was out of stock here and price was almost half at the time. I also  made my own 40 foot extension cables out of heavier guage to convert my homemade portable folding and super light weight 100W solar panels where GZ requires parrallel set up. I had two 50W semi flexible panels set up indpendent of one another to charge two 800W solar deep cell batteries like 5 to 6 years ago. It was fantastic and still is. I can put the ALlspower at 60W and the 100 watt original on the Goal Zero and charge together. Also this works great if you have to leave camp and the sun changes to shade so with the extentions you can determine to set one up to charge in one direction and the other in another as the sun moves and shade moves and keep your goal zero in the shade. Last year I also bought a folding 120W solar panel rather than make my own again. I wish now I'd made my own as it would be half the price and I've gained the expierence of what works best. I used 1000D cordura pack cloth and lots of velcro to make a cover book that closes up nice and tight for transport. The commercial one is three times heavier but very nice and I can run it with the 100 from my original too or the Allspower 60W but I will need to build my own extension cable and insert the correct plugs and adaptors like anderson plugs configured in GZ's set up. We didn't realize GZ was different when we quickly made the 40 foot extension and had to re-configure it. No big thing but something to pay attention too if for example you want ot remove the end of this cable and hardwire a cig plug into it's end not just go with adaptors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most efficient way to hook up your Goal Zero Solar Panels
*by G***S on February 26, 2021*

I was having a little trouble finding ratted watts for the 8mm and HPP cables from goal zero so I decided to do some testing, it turns out the type of cables you use and how long the runs are makes a big difference in power delivered to your Yeti battery pack! Below are the results from my tests, hope this helps! I hooked up two Goal Zero Bolder 100 BC solar panels and one Bolder 50 solar panel for this test these were then combined using the 4x 8mm to HPP combiner from Goal Zero. It is February in Arizona in early afternoon we had good direct sun but since it is winter the sun was not directly overhead At the panel the watt output was 162 watts which is pretty good for a winter day! I tested the following configurations over about 10-15 minutes to minimize change in suns position. As you can see below how you hook up the panels makes a huge difference, upgrading to an HPP cable could provide you a significant boost in power to your Yeti battery depending on your current setup, may be much cheaper than buying an additional solar panel! Testing with Yeti 1000 +4x 8MM to HPP Combiner -162 Watts + 30’ HPP Cable -161-162 Watts (Basically no loss) +30’ 8mm Cable – 147 Watts (Loss of 15 Watts) +30’ 8mm Cable x 2 (60’ run) -102 Watts (Loss of 60 Watts OUCH!!) Also cables were getting warm +30’ HPP Cable to. 8mm adapter -162 Watts (Basically no loss) +30’ HPP Cable to. 8mm adapter + 30’ 8MM Cable (60’ run) -133 Watts (Loss of 29 Watts) +30’ HPP Cable to. 8mm adapter + 30’ 8MM Cable x2 (90’ run) -91 Watts (Loss of 71 Watts!!!) Testing with Yeti 400 +120 Watts - 30’ HPP Cable to. 8mm adapter *These results would be same for Sherpa, or Yeti 200x / Yeti 150 the charge controllers on these units are limited to 120 watt input and will restrict inputs that provide more poser to protect internal components Conclusion, you might be able to get a significant boost in performance with a simple upgrade to wiring. Since the Yeti 400 limits the 8mm input to 120 watts I’d probably only use the 8mm cables for applications of 120 watts or under, otherwise you are leaving a significant amount of power on the table especially if your have more than one 30’ cable connected together. . The HPP cables are rated for 45 amps, the Yeti solar panels put out between 14-22 watts, this works out to a minimum watt capacity of 630 watts, but beware, longer runs with watt outputs over 300 may have some loss of total output. Hope this helps! Wish Goal Zero would publish some of this information on their website but I did the work for you so you don’t’ have to buy everything to find out -Cheers!
