This is Victron's RJ12 UTP cable in the 15 m length. It joins the shunt of a BMV battery monitor to its head unit, and Victron sells it in many lengths. A cable of this type ships with a BMV monitor as standard. When that one is the wrong length for the install, a replacement can be picked from the range, which runs from 0.3 up to 30 meters.

Our take

At 15 m this is one length in a range from 0.3 up to 30 meters, so the choice comes down to the distance between the BMV shunt and its head unit. It is a straight replacement for the RJ12 cable that ships with a BMV monitor.

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.
