This is the type A version of Victron's cable for linking a CAN-bus battery from another maker to a Victron system, in a 5m length. It is one of two types, A and B. Which type goes with which battery brand is set out in the manual, so check it before choosing between A and B. The cable is meant for CAN-bus enabled batteries, not Victron's own.
Our take
Being type A, not B, is the thing to check on this cable. Victron makes two types for CAN-bus batteries from other makers and says the manual decides which brand takes which, so look up your battery there before fitting a 5m 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.
