Not as good as Cutting Edge
I bought two of these before installing on my RV roof. The solar industry is so new and there are a lot of different players in this market so I wanted to do some of my own testing before deciding which one to install. I'm retired and the last thing I need is a bunch of mold from a water leak because I cheaped out on a cable entry.I have a background in power washing, so I am familiar with things that will leak over time, especially when outdoors and exposed to UV sunlight.Let me just say both of these options save a ton of time on the install on your RV. I first found these from a youtube Will Prowse video where he mentioned Cutting Edge. After taking them both apart, here's what I found:Waterproofness: Flipping it upside down and filling it with water, both options remained full - both waterproof. However, I do see problems with the o-rings (below).O-rings: For some odd reason, SolarENZ chose to use two o-rings on this. Although they do both seal, and yes one of them is silicone, the second one is not(!!) what? It seems like they just took some old mold that they already had, and tried to outfit it for solar MC4 connectors. This was way different from Cutting Edge, that had a dedicated o-ring channel and silicone o-rings, you can tell it was designed properly. You can distinguish the rubber materials by how they burn. Silicone burns white and nitrile burns black. Nitrile will last about a year in the sun especially here in Arizona. The second SolarENZ is nitrile because it burned black.Thickness: The fact that they claim this is 1/8" thick is an absolute lie. I measured 0.058", less than half of 1/8"! I'm getting really sick of these product description lies nowadays. In comparison, the Cutting Edge version I measured was more than 1/8" at 0.133". At first I was skeptical of the fact that the Cutting Edge one is 3D printed. I was worried the layers would separate over time, but looking at the reviews, and after cutting it in half, I see that it's actually solid on the inside. The Solarenz one is extremely thin at some points, especially near the flange, which makes me think this is where it's going to crack!Wire: The solarenz wire looks bigger but Cutting edge is made by Southwire (which is located in the US) and it's UL rated. The solarenz is not UL rated.MC4 connectors: I couldn't tell much difference between these. They're different styles but basically the same thing.Bottom line: I'm going with the Cutting Edge version, which appears to be backed by great reviews and designed by the good ole boys in USA. SolarENZ worries me, and they still have some catching up to do.

Would not trust this product
I got this "Solar Weatherproof Entry Gland Entry Housing", and the material didn't feel as thick as it should. I decided to measure this housing, at the same place the manufacturer does.At the flange, they show 4.8mm. I get 3.4mm. On the housing, they show 3.2mm, and I get 1.7mm. In inches, at the flange, they show 3/16", I got approximately 1/8". In inches, on the housing, they show 1/8", I got approximately 1/16". That is about half of the thickness on the housing.I began to worry, they don't say copper anywhere on the description page. I unthreaded one the connectors on the loose end of the wire and found tinned copper. I also found 2 coatings of black material on the wire. I can't test the insulation, but that looks good to me. As for the "stainless steel self tapping screws(included)",they look like drywall screws.As to the value, I can't say. The housing is not as thick as they say, but I don't know about strength or durability. I don't trust this product because of the overstating of the thickness of the product.

Does NOT Hold Up
First off, the 1/8" thickeness turned out to be a lie. My calipers measured it to be about half of that. Secondly, it started leaking through the o-rings in less than 1 week!! I guess it would be an ok value for the money if you consider that it's cheap and cheaply made, so only buy if you expect to replace it soon.
