The Victron RJ12 UTP Cable is a short data cable for linking compatible Victron Energy devices that use an RJ12 interface. At 0.3 m long, it suits panel-mounted or closely spaced installations where a neat, direct connection is needed between components.

Key features

• Connectors, RJ12 (6P6C) on both ends for direct device-to-device connections.
• Cable type, UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction.
• Length, 0.3 m, suited to compact enclosures or side-by-side mounting.
• Weight, 0.01 kg.
• Origin, genuine Victron Energy accessory, made to match Victron device pin-outs.

Product overview

RJ12 is a 6-position, 6-contact connector format used across several Victron Energy products for communication between devices. This cable is plug and play, so there is no crimping or field termination needed. Using the Victron-supplied cable avoids the pin-out mismatches that can occur with generic RJ12 leads.

Applications

• Connecting Victron Battery Monitors, Colour Control GX units, or other RJ12-equipped Victron devices.
• Short data links inside battery enclosures or distribution boards.
• Replacing a lost or damaged cable on an existing Victron installation.
• Off-grid and marine builds where several Victron components sit close together.

What's in the box

• 1 x Victron Energy RJ12 UTP Cable, 0.3 m

Installation notes

No tools are required to fit this cable. Check that both devices use a standard RJ12 (6P6C) interface before connecting. Where it forms part of a larger solar, battery or inverter system, that work should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer.
