DESCRIPTION
Optimised Alternator Control and System Integration
Achieve flawless communication between your advanced alternator regulator and your power management network with the Wakespeed 2m WS500 CANBus to Victron Crossover Cable. Designed specifically to bridge the communication gap between Wakespeed and Victron Energy systems, this purpose-built cable ensures your power setup operates safely and efficiently. Standard Ethernet cables do not share the correct pinout for this application, making this specific crossover lead an essential component for any integrated marine or mobile power system.
Seamless VE.Can Network Communication
Integrating a high-output alternator into a modern lithium battery system requires precise data sharing. By connecting your Wakespeed WS500 directly to a Victron GX device, such as the Cerbo GX, this cable allows the regulator to receive real-time data from your battery management system (BMS). This closed-loop communication enables the WS500 to dynamically adjust alternator output based on accurate battery voltage, current, and temperature readings. The result is an optimised charging profile that maximises charging efficiency while protecting expensive battery banks from overcharging or thermal stress.
Colour-Coded for Error-Free Installation
Setting up complex CAN networks can be challenging, but this crossover cable simplifies the process with clear, colour-coded RJ45 connectors. The black connector is pinned specifically for the WS500 alternator regulator, while the blue connector matches the pinout required for Victron VE.Can ports and compatible third-party systems. This visual guide reduces the risk of incorrect connections, saving valuable installation time and preventing potential communication faults.
Robust Build for Marine and Mobile Environments
Vibration, moisture, and movement are constant factors in boats, caravans, and off-grid vehicles. To combat these harsh conditions, the crossover cable features protective rubber boots over both RJ45 terminations, providing crucial strain relief and protecting the delicate pins from dust and physical damage. The two-metre cable length offers generous reach, allowing for flexible mounting options between your alternator regulator and your central communication hub without creating excess cable clutter.
Essential Network Termination Included
A stable CAN bus network requires proper termination at both ends of the communication line to prevent signal reflection and data packet loss. To ensure your network functions flawlessly out of the box, this package includes a dedicated RJ45 connector featuring a built-in 120-ohm CAN bus termination resistor. This terminator is designed to plug directly into the open CAN port on the Wakespeed WS500, completing the network loop and ensuring robust, interference-free data transmission.
Key Features
