This Victron Energy RJ45 UTP cable runs 30 metres and connects compatible Victron devices where equipment is spread out and a short lead will not reach. It fits systems where control panels, inverters, chargers or monitoring units sit some distance apart.

Key features

• Length, 30 m, the longest standard RJ45 cable in the Victron range.
• Connectors, RJ45 on both ends, for Victron devices using RJ45 communication ports.
• Construction, UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair), built for low-voltage data communication between Victron components.
• Weight, 0.949 kg for the full 30 m length.
• Compatibility, genuine Victron Energy accessory for use across the Victron product range.

Product overview

Use it to link Victron devices that communicate over RJ45, such as the Color Control GX, CCGX, Venus GX, inverter/chargers and BMV battery monitors. On many Victron units the RJ45 port carries proprietary data rather than standard Ethernet traffic, so it matters that the correct cable type is used for the connection.

At 30 m this suits boats, motorhomes, off-grid cabins or commercial battery systems where the monitoring or control panel cannot sit next to the main equipment. A single cable of this length avoids field-terminated extensions, which can be a weak point for connection reliability.

Applications

• Linking a Color Control GX or Venus GX to an inverter/charger in a remote enclosure.
• Connecting a BMV battery monitor display to its shunt across a large battery room or engine bay.
• Marine installations with equipment distributed across separate compartments.
• Off-grid cabins or outbuildings where the inverter and monitoring panel sit in different rooms.
• Commercial or industrial battery systems needing longer runs between components.

Installation notes

Check that the RJ45 port on your Victron device is meant for this connection type before fitting it, since some Victron RJ45 ports carry proprietary signals rather than standard Ethernet. Keep the cable away from high-current DC wiring where you can, to reduce interference. On larger solar, inverter or battery installations, have a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer handle the electrical connections.
