Excellent...I can do that.You can if you are installing it in the cu. Mine was separate and I just put a plug on the end.

Is that ethernet cable?Anyway
I bought a rj45 10m extension and a rj45 female to female connector. As I didn't have room in my consumer unit I purchased a Wylex WBE3 IP65 3-Module and mounted the metre in that.
Yep.Is that ethernet cable?
Yep. I used cat5e. It had the rj45 connectors on either end. Then I went to Screwfix and got a female to female connector. For a few quid.Is that ethernet cable?
You will need hydraulic crimpers for that size of cable / lugs.Yeah, I'm not happy with it. Thanks for making my mind up for me. I've ordered the crimped connectors. Hoping my crimper is man enough for the job!
I bought my Hydraulic crimps from Alliexpress, quick delivery, very good price and great qualityJust realised that I've ordered the wrong size crimps anyway. Ah well, they may come in handy at some stage. Will have to think again.
I've got a large set of manual crimpers that will do that size, but if desperate, there's always the bench vice, or the lump hammerYou will need hydraulic crimpers for that size of cable / lugs.

If you lived nearer you could borrow mine.
There are suitable crimpers available on ebay for £16. The pre-crimped cable is £66. I could then resell as I'm unlikely to use again. However, I'll visit my local electrical shop and factors first, also ask my electrician who I'll need to connect to CU.I was going to comment. Can't you find the contact of your local tool hire or solar installers and shop around these first. Tbh buying a pre cripmpet set would be the quicker/cheaper option imo
