6-ft Plastic Whip (3-Lead, 10 AWG)

https://www.highseer.com/products/6-ft-plastic-whip-3-lead-10-awg

This 6-foot plastic whip is designed to connect the condenser unit to the disconnect box[1]. It's not meant for connecting the AC box to the condenser unit or the condenser unit directly to the breaker box. The whip provides a flexible, pre-made connection that simplifies installation and ensures proper wiring between the outdoor unit and the disconnect.

4-Lead Mini-Split Connection Wire

The 4-lead mini-split connection wire sold by the foot is intended for running the line from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit (condenser) of a mini-split air conditioning system. It's not specifically designed for connecting the breaker box to the condenser unit.

To summarize, the 6-foot whip is for the final connection to the condenser, while the 4-lead wire is for the main run between indoor and outdoor units in a mini-split system. 

NOTE: Neither of these is specifically intended for running from the breaker box to the condenser unit, as that typically requires a different type of wiring based on local electrical codes and system specifications.
