I bought 34 M215 Enphase Microinverters on ebay about 6 months ago. The Engage cable that came with it has 10 connections of which are landscape - the 24 other connections are portrait.
However I need to have 32 landscape length connections. How would you fix this?
Buying options for Engage Landscape orientation cables are limited... Enphase no longer makes Engage cable and Ebay listings are mostly for portrait orientation.

I would want to run 2 strings of 16 that are center fed - so lengths of 8 would be needed. (8 x 2) x 2
Since I have one run of 10 I could use that for one of the center fed branches but I how do I achieve the other branches?
 
I guess I could do multiple Junction boxes in between the engage cable connectors to lengthen them from portrait size to landscape, but that would be a lot of J boxes. From what I see there is not a significant amount of voltage drop that would result from this extra splicing if the wire nuts in the Jox establish sufficient enough of a connection.
