    I'm sure Wind&Sun sells the cables. If you need just the connectors and the parts to make cables, Newark sells them.

    When I was looking around last month I found that it's generally cheaper to buy a cable that is long enough for your plans and cut it in 1/2.

    That way you get the MC4 terminals that are ALREADY properly crimped onto a cable that is UL rated for outdoor use.

    Just buy 12 Male to female cables and you're good to go.

    P.s. the prices on Wind-sun are about as good as anywhere else I've found. Might find them cheaper on eBay, but then you're gambling on unknown Chinese crap.

    I've gotten some from http://duncansolar.storesecured.com/items/connectors/multi-contact/list.htm. They have the best price I've found for what appear to be genuine MC connectors. (I don't believe NAWS has the bare connectors.)
