I picked up a li-time shunt and monitor from Amazon. It works fine but the cable is way too long for my solar generator. (It’s 20’ and I need one more like 3’) Normally, I’d just find a spot to tick it away, but space is at a premium and storing the extra cable isn’t practical. I tried finding a shorter one online and Li-time told me to look for “shielded cable is 4 cores + shield and the terminals on both ends of the shield are XH5pin” since I don’t have a “local cable store” and RadioShack is now gone, does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations?

I would personally cut the cable and re-splice to the correct length, joining with appropriate block / wago connector
 
"Oh you are naughty... but I like you"? or was that before your time?

Hey - it's the DIY solar forum after all!
