3 m

This is Victron's RJ45 UTP cable in the 3 m length, a communication lead for Victron system components. Victron describes it for connecting Digital Multi Control panels, Inverter Control units and the Interface MK3-USB. It also carries VE.Bus connections between several VE.Bus devices and links VE.Bus and VE.Can to a GX device.

Our take

The 3 m length is the figure to check against your own wiring layout, since it is the size this product comes in. Its listed uses cover VE.Bus links between several devices and connections to a GX device, so it belongs on the data side of the system.

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.
