Victron Energy VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Type A Cable 5M
Victron Energy VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Type A Cable 5M
Use this cable to connect a CAN-bus enabled battery (not from Victron) to a Victron system. The Type A cable features the correct pin remapping (pins 4/5 to 7/8) to enable seamless communication between third-party lithium batteries and Victron GX devices such as the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX.
This is not a standard ethernet cable. The Type A pinout handles the translation between the battery's CAN bus pin positions and Victron's VE.Can or BMS-Can port, so the GX device can read battery voltage, current limits, state of charge (SOC), and temperature directly from the BMS.
Key Features

Type A vs. Type B
Victron makes two BMS-CAN cables. Type A remaps pins 4/5 to 7/8. Type B remaps a different pin configuration. Which cable you need depends on where your battery manufacturer placed the CAN signals on its RJ45 connector. Check your battery's documentation to confirm Type A or Type B.
