The Victron RJ45 UTP Cable is a 3 metre unshielded twisted pair cable with RJ45 connectors at both ends, used to link compatible Victron devices over their RJ45 communication ports.

Key features

• Length, 3 m, enough reach for most panel, cabinet and enclosure installations.
• Connectors, RJ45 at both ends, compatible with Victron devices that use RJ45 communication ports.
• Construction, UTP (unshielded twisted pair), suited to low-voltage data communication between Victron components.
• Weight, 0.12 kg, easy to route and manage within an installation.
• Genuine Victron Energy accessory, compatibility with supported products in the Victron ecosystem.

Applications

RJ45 UTP cables carry communication signals between Victron devices such as inverter/chargers, battery monitors, solar charge controllers and display panels. The RJ45 port on this equipment typically carries VE.Bus or similar proprietary protocols, so cable type and length matter for signal integrity.

At 3 metres, this cable suits components mounted close together, such as within a single enclosure or across adjacent wall-mounted units. UTP construction is adequate for the low-noise environments typical of residential and light commercial battery rooms or plant rooms. For longer runs or environments with significant electrical interference, a shielded alternative may be more appropriate.

Typical uses

• Connecting a MultiPlus or Quattro inverter/charger to a Color Control GX or Cerbo GX.
• Linking a BMV battery monitor to a GX device or display panel.
• Wiring SmartSolar or BlueSolar charge controllers to system communication hubs.
• Replacement cable where an existing one has been damaged or is too short.

Installation notes

Ensure the RJ45 connectors are fully seated and latched at both ends before powering the system, and check that connected devices use compatible RJ45 ports. Route away from high-current DC cables where possible. Complex or high-voltage installation work should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer.
