Abstract
A direct current (DC)-DC conversion system including at least one DC source, at least one source cable, a DC-DC converter, at least one output cable, and at least one DC load. Each of the at least one source cable includes a source input connector, a source output connector, and a source input cable. The DC-DC converter includes a housing, a DC-DC input connector, and a DC-DC output connector. Each of the at least one output cable includes a load input connector, at least one load output connector, and a load output cable. The DC-DC converter is operable to receive energy from the at least one source via the at least one source cable, and is operable to provide energy to the at least one DC load via the at least one output cable.
