Engineered to exacting specifications, this cable ensures stable data exchange, allowing your GX system to monitor battery status, state of charge, and critical parameters in real time. Without a properly connected BMS cable, the battery may not appear on the GX display and could shut down unexpectedly, risking power loss to connected equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 5-metre cable is ideal for installations where the battery bank and GX device are positioned at a distance, such as in larger off-grid power systems, marine setups, or vehicle-based energy solutions. The flexible blue jacket and moulded RJ45 connectors with clear labels simplify routing and identification, reducing installation time and the potential for wiring errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eType B Pinout for Specific Battery Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eType B cable\u003c\/strong\u003e (part number ASS030720050) is designed for batteries that require a specific CAN-bus pin configuration.

The Type B cable differs from the Type A variant in its internal wiring, matching the CAN-H, CAN-L, and GND pin assignments required by the listed batteries. Connecting an incompatible cable can prevent communication, leading to system faults or battery shutdown. Always verify your battery model against the compatibility list before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-metre length\u003c\/strong\u003e provides flexibility for installations where the GX device and battery are not adjacent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClear labelling\u003c\/strong\u003e on each connector: \"Victron VE.Can\" and \"CAN-bus BMS\" to prevent misconnection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoulded RJ45 plugs\u003c\/strong\u003e ensure secure, strain-relieved connections that resist vibration and corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible blue jacket\u003c\/strong\u003e allows easy routing through conduits, cable trays, and tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecise Type B pinout\u003c\/strong\u003e guarantees compatibility with specified battery models, eliminating guesswork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug-and-play installation\u003c\/strong\u003e – no crimping, soldering, or custom wiring required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a Dedicated BMS Cable Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a Victron Energy ecosystem, the GX device (such as a Cerbo GX or Color Control GX) acts as the central communication hub. It relies on accurate battery data to optimise charging, manage loads, and protect the battery from over-discharge or over-voltage conditions. A generic network cable may not have the correct pinout or shielding, leading to intermittent data, incorrect readings, or complete communication failure. The Victron VE.Can to CAN-Bus BMS Type B Cable is purpose-built to maintain signal integrity, reducing the risk of system downtime and protecting your investment in premium energy storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the end labelled \"CAN-bus BMS\" to the CAN port on your master battery. Plug the \"Victron VE.Can\" end into a VE.Can or BMS-Can port on your GX device. If using a VE.Can port, configure it to CAN-bus BMS (500 kbit\/s) in the GX settings. Install the supplied VE.Can terminator in the second VE.Can socket on the GX device. Once connected, the battery should appear on the GX display, confirming successful communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor systems with multiple battery modules, use the manufacturer-supplied RJ45 cables to link the batteries together via their link ports. The master battery is the one with an empty link port 0. No DIP switch adjustments are typically required; the batteries will auto-detect and synchronise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for Demanding Environments\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether installed in a marine engine room, a remote off-grid shed, or a vehicle subjected to constant movement, this cable is designed to withstand harsh conditions. The robust RJ45 connectors resist corrosion, while the durable jacket protects against abrasion and UV exposure. This ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance, even in high-vibration or high-humidity settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Victron System with Confidence\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure seamless communication between your battery and GX device with the \u003cstrong\u003eVictron VE.Can to CAN-Bus BMS Type B Cable (5m)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
