Connectors for 2.5mm2 solar cable

I want a male & female connector to join 2.5mm twin-core solar cables (up to 5m length and 10amp). MC4s are too cumbersome with rubber-sheathed twin-core. Any suggestions please?

Have you looked at MC4 to anderson connectors? I assume you panels have mC4 connections.

As an example. Then you can run with Anderson connectors after that.

Thanks Alexandra. It's the right solution, but I'm struggling to find Anderson connectors with crimp ferrules as small as 14AWG

Not sure where in the world you are but amazon is a good place to start.

Thanks. Managed to find a UK supplier for these SBS mini twins which are ideal: https://bae-bristol.co.uk/product/sbs-mini-connectors-gupmcss-pair-grey-guardian-automotive/. Thanks again for your advice.
