01 — System Overview

What is the WTEC 4S™ System?

A self-supporting DC cable management and disconnect solution designed for utility-scale solar. It integrates cable support, routing, and prefabricated components into one system.

The 4S™ System organizes, supports, and protects DC cables across the site. It combines messenger wire, cable management blocks, pre-terminated trunk cables, and disconnect boxes into a single integrated solution.

  • Pre-terminated self-supporting DC trunk cable — 500, 600, or 750 KCMIL
  • Gen 2 snap-fit CMB blocks for organized homerun grouping
  • Bracketed messenger wire with East-West and North-South routing
  • Prefabricated disconnect boxes — 1500 Vdc, NEMA 4X, up to 600A
  • All cables UL 4703 PV 2KV rated and UV-resistant throughout
  • Code-compliant layouts per NEC 250 and NEC 690
Why 4S™
  • Faster installation with fewer field steps and prefabricated components
  • 🔒 Reduced cable stress and long-term failures through controlled sag and routing
  • Cleaner, safer, code-compliant layouts that pass inspection faster
