Rich Solar Cable Entry Plate | IP68 Waterproof Polypropylene Housing with UL 10AWG Wires and Solar Connectors | Easy to Install
Frequently Bought Together
Cable Entry Plate — IP68 Waterproof Polypropylene Housing with UL 10AWG Wires (RS-G02)
The RS-G02 Cable Entry Plate gives you a sealed, single pass-through point to route solar wiring from your rooftop array into the interior of an RV, boat, or cabin. It uses an IP68-rated PG9 cable gland for the roof seal rather than pre-sealed MC4 connectors, with separate MC4 connectors and color-coded 10AWG UL1015 wire rated for 30A continuous current — universal enough to fit virtually any aluminum-framed panel, including the full Rich Solar lineup.
10AWG, 30A/42A. Uses a PG9 cable gland for sealing with separate TÜV-certified MC4 connectors. Larger footprint (7.2 × 3.8 × 2.0 in).
30A Continuous on 10AWG Tin-Plated Copper
UL1015-certified 10AWG wire with tin-plated copper conductors handles 30A of continuous current (42A maximum) at up to 600V — sized for standard single-panel and small array entry runs.
IP68 PG9 Cable Gland Seal
Rather than relying solely on pre-sealed MC4 connectors, this entry plate uses a PA6 PG9 cable gland rated IP68 waterproof and dustproof — a widely used industrial sealing method for cable pass-throughs in demanding outdoor environments.
Universal Aluminum-Frame Panel Compatibility
Built to fit virtually any aluminum-framed solar panel, including the complete Rich Solar lineup — a flexible entry point rather than a single-SKU-specific accessory, made from 100% recyclable polypropylene housing material.
Product Overview
The RS-G02 is Rich Solar's cable entry plate built around a PG9 cable gland sealing architecture rather than pre-installed, pre-sealed MC4 connectors. The gland itself — a PA6 (nylon) PG9 fitting — provides an IP68-rated waterproof and dustproof seal where the wire passes through the housing, while separate MC4 connectors on the wire ends (PC material, TÜV certified) handle the actual panel-side connection point.
This is a meaningfully different approach from Rich Solar's other cable entry plates (RS-G04 and RS-G05), which integrate the MC4 connectors directly into the sealed housing. The PG9 gland design gives the RS-G02 a larger overall footprint at 7.2 × 3.8 × 2.0 inches, and the gland itself carries a UL94V-2 flame rating along with CE certification, rather than the UL94V0 rating and UL Listed certification used on the integrated-connector models. Functionally, all three plates accomplish the same job — a sealed wiring pass-through point — but through different hardware, so it's worth understanding which design fits your installation preference and existing connector ecosystem.
Electrically, the RS-G02 matches the RS-G04: 10AWG UL1015 wire with tin-plated copper conductors, rated 30A continuous and 42A maximum at 600V, with VW-1 fire-rated PVC insulation rated to 221°F. At 0.34 lb, it's a compact, low-profile rooftop mount that doesn't add meaningful weight to your installation. As with Rich Solar's other entry plates, mounting hardware (adhesive, sealant, or screws) is not included and must be sourced separately based on your specific roof material.
A Different Sealing Approach — The PG9 Gland
- PA6 PG9 Cable Gland: A widely used industrial nylon cable gland format rated IP68 for waterproof and dustproof sealing around the wire pass-through point.
- Separate from the MC4 Connection: The gland seals the housing penetration itself, while the MC4 connectors on the wire ends handle the panel-side electrical connection — two distinct components working together.
- UL94V-2 Flame Retardant: The gland carries a UL94V-2 flammability rating — one tier below the UL94V0 rating used on the integrated-connector RS-G04/G05 models, still a recognized flame-retardant classification.
- CE Certified: The PG head carries CE certification, reflecting compliance with applicable European safety standards.
- TÜV-Certified MC4 Connectors: The PC-material MC4 connectors are independently certified by TÜV rather than UL Listed, an internationally recognized certification body for electrical components.
Built to Work with Virtually Any Aluminum-Framed Panel
- Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit most aluminum-framed solar panels broadly, not a single specific model — flexible for mixed installations or panels outside the Rich Solar lineup.
- Confirmed Compatible with All Rich Solar Panels: Works across the full Rich Solar panel range, simplifying parts sourcing for a multi-panel array.
- 100% Recyclable PP/ABS Housing: Supports end-of-life recyclability if the plate is ever replaced or the system decommissioned.
- Flame-Retardant Housing Material: Built for long-term outdoor durability, with the housing material itself contributing to overall fire safety alongside the gland and wire ratings.
Compact, Low-Profile Rooftop Mounting
- 7.2 × 3.8 × 2.0 in, 0.34 lb: A slightly larger footprint than the integrated-connector RS-G04/G05 plates to accommodate the PG9 gland fitting, but still a low-profile, lightweight rooftop mount.
- Red/Black Polarity-Marked Wires: Clear color-coding removes ambiguity about which lead is positive and which is negative during installation.
- Secured with Adhesive/Sealant and Screws: Flexible mounting approach depending on your roof material — but hardware is not included, so plan to source it separately.
- Simplifies Cable Management: Consolidates the array wiring pass-through into one defined location for a cleaner, faster overall installation versus an improvised penetration point.
- -40°F to 185°F Operating Range: Functions reliably across a wide climate range for permanent outdoor mounting.
