For members only;

You can order any length cable you like, and any connector you like.  If you don't see the item listed in the member section, simply go to Subconn's website to get the item number, then send me an email with the number of pieces you want along with the cable length desired.  I send that info to Subconn for pricing (including shipping costs), and then return that info to you along with details of how to order if you want to continue with the purchase.  I don't have a retail price list for their products and don't believe they have one on their web site, however they have extended members a 30% discount on anything they sell.  Custom cable lengths are custom fabricated and I believe require up to 4 weeks before being shipped, so plan accordingly.

Hi.

I have a few connector questions.

I'm looking at the SubConn connectors & the contact ratings are 600 V @ 10 Amps for 2 pins.

I'm running a 12 Volt system, does this mean I can run up to 500 Amps at 12 volts through them,

or am I figuring wrong? I'm more likely going to be nearer 100 Amps.

Does anyone know what the micro series of connectors are priced at? Are they similarly priced

to the standard contacts?

How do I go about ordering a connector with a longer length of cable than that specified on the Psub site.

I believe you shouldn't take both positive & negative charge through the same connector, so I may need

more than the standard 2 ft length.
