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 (10.3 in)

• Number of insulated conductor pairs and insulated conductor cross-section: at least 2 x 2 x 0.34 mm² (2 x 2 x 22 AWG)

• Maximum cable length between inverter and battery when using patch and installation cables: 10 m (33 ft)

• UV-resistant for outdoor installation.
