I'm at a loss with how to understand the following:
Kabel ist mit der Anschlussdose bereits konfektioniert.
Context - specifications for a junction box (Anschlussdose) for a solar module. This portion has to do with the cables and wires.
I'm familiar with konfektioniert as "ready-made". In Ernst I found "konfektionierte Leitungsschnur" as "cord set".
I'm not quite sure how to put this. I think the "mit" is throwing me off.
Could it simply just be "Junction box includes a cord set"?

pre-wired
If the wiring between the cable and the junction box does not have to be carried out on site , then you could consider pre-wired, factory finished or pre-assembled might also fit the description.

For SuzieZ, to say that the junction box is supplied pre-equipped would give most British native speakers a bit of consternation, pre-wired sounds better. It depends on the recipient, pre-wired, " no need to wire up the junction box", "the junction box is delivered without further need for wiring", I would stay with the first suggestion.
