Fits
MultiPlus 500VA - 1600VA range

This Victron RJ45 splitter is a small accessory for VE.Bus wiring. It is used to connect the MultiPlus 500VA to 1600VA range in parallel and in 3 phase configurations. It also serves other installations where more than one VE.Bus port is needed, which makes it a wiring add-on rather than a stand-alone device. Check that the units you are linking fall in the 500VA to 1600VA MultiPlus range before relying on it.

Our take

The splitter's stated job is linking MultiPlus units from 500VA to 1600VA in parallel and 3 phase layouts, and adding VE.Bus ports where a system needs more than one. That makes it a wiring part for expanded systems.

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.
