This Victron Energy RJ12 UTP cable is a 15 metre communication lead used to connect compatible Victron devices fitted with RJ12 ports. It suits solar, off-grid and battery installations where the monitoring or control panel sits some distance from the main equipment.

Key features

• Length, 15 m
• Connector, RJ12, 6-pin
• Cable type, UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Weight, 0.35 kg
• Build, Victron OEM cable made for the RJ12 interface used across the Victron range

Product overview

RJ12 cables link devices such as battery monitors, inverter/chargers and display panels, carrying low-voltage data rather than power. At 15 m this cable reaches installations where the display or monitor is mounted away from the inverter or battery bank, such as in a separate room or enclosure. Using the Victron-supplied cable keeps the connector terminations and pin configuration correct for the RJ12 interface. A mismatched third-party cable can cause communication faults or damage.

Applications

• Connecting a Victron BMV battery monitor to a remote display panel
• Linking Victron inverter/chargers to monitoring or control panels in off-grid and marine systems
• Extending communication runs in motorhomes, caravans and boats
• Any Victron installation needing a 15 m RJ12 data connection between compatible devices

Installation notes

Check both devices use RJ12 ports before ordering, since RJ11 connectors look similar but have fewer pins and will not connect. Keep the cable away from high-current DC and inverter output wiring to reduce interference. Fitting the cable itself needs no special qualification, but the wider system should be installed by a qualified electrician or accredited installer.
