MC4 to DC8020 cable
It joins a panel with MC4 plugs to a station with a DC8020 solar port. 16 of the stations we chart have that port.
By the Power Station Chart team, from maker pages. Last reviewed October 31, 2026.
None of the four big makers sells a plain version. Renogy's 4-in-1 cable has an 8 mm branch, and Jackery's own panels already end in DC8020.
The two plugs
| MC4 | The standard solar panel plug. Almost every rigid panel and many portable panels end in MC4 leads. Makers rate these up to 30 A. |
|---|---|
| DC8020 | A round barrel plug, 8.0 mm across with a 2.0 mm pin. Jackery's current panels and newer stations use it. Makers rate these up to 14 A. |

A cable fixes the plug, not the voltage. Check the panel against the station's limits before you connect anything. MC4 connectors explained.
FAQ
Why is there no plain MC4 to DC8020 cable from the big makers?
None of the four big makers sells one, because Jackery's own panels already end in DC8020. Renogy's 4-in-1 cable, part RPC0418EF-US, is the nearest option, with a branch it names DC 8 mm.
Which stations take a DC8020 plug?
DC8020 is a round barrel plug, 8.0 mm across with a 2.0 mm pin. Jackery's current panels and newer stations use it, and 16 stations have the port. It is listed up to 14 A.
How much current can the Renogy 8 mm branch carry?
Renogy rates each branch at 10 A on a cable with a 12 AWG main lead, 2.4 ft long. The branch is labeled 8 mm and not DC8020, so confirm the tip matches your station's port before relying on it.
