I want to make custom long tails in place of the factory supplied MC4 (ie cut it off and joint a suitable length of cable down to my junction/marshalling cabinet). I am looking at 4mm and 6mm solar cables. Can anyone suggest a legitimate ferrule crimper system to make this straight joint. I would insulate it with quality adhesive type 4:1 heat shrink sleeve after crimping. I would also leave a coil of spare length in place in case a panel needs to be replaced. As you all know the market is flooded with Cheap Charlie fake products and thin poor quality ferrules/terminals etc plus much of the tools do not have the proper anvils and apply sufficient pressure for a reliable joint. I believe a company Weidmuller pioneered this system and maybe there are other reputable makers.
From personal experience I would strongly advise against Cheap Charlie counterfeits
Does anyone have any advice here
