Requirements for the Battery Communication and Power Cables

Battery Communication Cable Requirements

The cable length and quality affect the quality of the signal. Observe the following cable requirements:

  • Cable type: 100BaseTx

  • Cable category: minimum CAT5e

  • Plug type: RJ45 of Cat5e or higher

  • Shielding: SF/UTP, S/UTP, SF/FTP or S/FTP

  • Maximum cable length within the inverter: 260 mm

  • Number of insulated conductor pairs and insulated conductor cross-section: at least 2 x 2 x 0.34 mm²

  • Maximum cable length between inverter and battery when using patch and installation cables: 10 m

  • UV-resistant for outdoor installation.

Requirements for Battery Power Cables

Observe manufacturer's specifications for battery power cables

When crimping battery power cables, the appropriate tool, correct cable cross-section, proper insulation stripping length, and a firm but non-damaging crimp are essential for a safe and conductive connection. Make sure not to damage the stranded wires and to insert and tighten all components correctly, especially the strain relief, to ensure a durable, moisture-proof, and abrasion-resistant connection.
