    Is this a typical dwelling unit service?
    If so, why do you have a four wire cable on the line side
    Of the demand meter?

    ... so from the meter to your panel you're running 4 wire?
    I"m a little confused as to why you're running SER from the meter to your panel?
    Unless the main circuit breaker is also located at the meter you only need SEU or
    3-wire...
    Of course the answer to your original question is "yes", they make SER connectors
    For 4-wire service cable... but I would like to know why this sounds unusual.

    Please let me know...

    You cannot simply cut off one wire.
    You need to use the correct SEU cable with a rubber connector.
