10 m

This is a 10 m RJ12 UTP cable from Victron. It links the shunt of a BMV battery monitor with the monitor's display unit. Every BMV monitor comes with a standard RJ12 cable. When that one turns out too long or too short, this length can stand in for it. The range is made in lengths from 0.3 up to 30 meters.

Our take

The maker offers this RJ12 cable in lengths from 0.3 up to 30 meters, so the 10 m version is a mid-range replacement. It is for the case where the cable supplied with a BMV monitor is the wrong length for the shunt-to-display run.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
