GearIT 1/0-AWG CCA Cable Kit

This purchase groups cable and finishing parts in one package. I keep the 1/0 size and CCA construction in its name to distinguish it from my 4-AWG CCA and 4/0 copper cable purchases.

The item in my kit

I bought GearIT 1/0-AWG CCA Cable Kit as part of my camper van equipment.

This purchase groups cable and finishing parts in one package. I keep the 1/0 size and CCA construction in its name to distinguish it from my 4-AWG CCA and 4/0 copper cable purchases.

Where it fits my build

I brought the roof light wires and camera cables into a PVC conduit layout. That work included drilled enclosures, threaded fittings, cable glands, solder-seal splices and grouped wiring.

During the small-box stage, I drilled for a male PVC fitting and used a fitting inside as a retaining nut. I routed the camera cable through a gland into a tee and brought the light-wire groups toward the van entry.

My build notes

The wiring project was a sequence of individual connections and routes. The photographs show the intermediate stages, including open boxes and wrapped wire groups, before the remaining covers and conduit joints were finished.

I built the cable route a section at a time, bringing local connections into the larger conduit system.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

The other CCA kit includes its own lug-and-tubing assortment, while TEMCo supplies a red 1/0 pure-copper bulk cable without the same package of connection parts.

Questions from my build

What connected the roof equipment to the van entry?

A PVC conduit layout with boxes, fittings and cable glands.

What did I do at the small junction box?

I drilled the box for a threaded PVC fitting and arranged the light-wire connections inside that part of the route.
