Victron Energy RJ45 UTP Cable 1.8 m for VE.Bus

The Victron Energy RJ45 UTP Cable (1.8 meters) is a purpose-built Ethernet-style cable for connecting Victron VE.Bus devices and linking VE.Bus/VE.Can systems to GX monitoring equipment.

Compact and engineered for compatibility with Victron control modules, this 5.90-foot (1.8 m) unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable provides the correct pinout and reliable physical connection needed for Digital Multi Control, Phoenix Inverter Control, Interface MK3-USB and other VE.Bus-enabled products. It eliminates the need to adapt generic network cables and helps keep system wiring tidy when forming small networks of inverters, chargers and a GX central device.

How will this cable fit into my Victron system?

The cable is intended as the wiring link between VE.Bus devices or between VE.Bus/VE.Can products and a Victron GX system. It uses the RJ45 connector with Victron’s required wiring scheme so connections are plug-and-play for compatible hardware.

• Connects Digital Multi Control, Phoenix Inverter Control, Interface MK3-USB.
• Makes VE.Bus connections between multiple VE.Bus-capable devices.
• Enables VE.Bus and VE.Can connections to a Victron Energy GX device.
• 1.8 meters length for convenient cabinet or panel mounting without excess slack.

Why choose the Victron-branded RJ45 UTP cable rather than a standard Ethernet cord?

This cable matches Victron’s pinout and assembly standards so you won’t encounter miswiring risks that generic network cables can introduce. It’s produced to be compatible with Victron control and interface modules for predictable installation outcomes.

• Correct pin assignment tailored to VE.Bus and VE.Can requirements.
• Designed for use with Victron Digital Multi Control and Interface MK3-USB.
• Reduces troubleshooting time by avoiding incorrect cable types or wiring.

What installation tips should I follow when using this cable?

Run the cable away from high-voltage or high-current wiring to reduce electrical noise. Use gentle bends—avoid tight kinks—and secure the cable near connectors to prevent strain on the RJ45 plug during maintenance or movement.

• Avoid routing parallel to large AC or DC power cables.
• Leave service loops for ease of removal and reconfiguration.
• Ensure RJ45 plugs are fully inserted and latched into device ports.

How long is the cable and where is it best used?

At 1.8 meters (5.90 feet), the cable is ideal for nearby device connections inside switchboards, inverter cabinets or small enclosures where components are mounted within a close radius. Its length balances reach and neatness for compact systems.

• 1.8 m / 5.90 ft length suits cabinet-to-panel runs.
• Works well for linking multiple VE.Bus devices in a row.
• Compact enough for tidy routing behind equipment or panels.

Who is this for: Installers, technicians and DIY system builders using Victron Energy inverters, chargers and GX monitoring devices who want a correctly wired, ready-to-use RJ45 cable for VE.Bus and VE.Can connections. It’s particularly useful when replacing unidentified cables or when a reliable, brand-compatible link is required inside control cabinets and small power installations.
