- Length
- 5 m
This is the Victron Energy RS485 to USB interface in the 5 m length. It is one of two lengths in the range, the other being 1.8 m, so the 5 m one is the longer choice for reaching a computer from the device. Victron lists a Declaration of Conformity for its interfaces alongside this product. Little else is stated about it beyond the length, so check Victron's documentation for which devices it connects.
Our take
The 5 m RS485 to USB interface is the longer of the two lengths Victron offers, the other being 1.8 m. Extra cable gives more room to place the computer away from the device, though nothing further is given about what it connects to.
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.
