This enables the Victron system to respond dynamically to battery conditions rather than relying on fixed charge parameters. The Type B cable variant is required for BMS units that use the CAN-bus Type B pinout, which differs from Type A in connector wiring. Using the wrong cable type will result in no communication, so confirming the BMS manufacturer's CAN-bus type before ordering is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5 m length is the longer of the standard options Victron offers for this cable, making it the appropriate choice where the battery bank and the GX device or inverter are mounted in separate locations. CAN-bus is a differential signalling protocol and is generally tolerant of cable runs at this length, provided the bus is correctly terminated at both ends as required by the system design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ASS030720150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCable length: 5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtocol: CAN-bus BMS Type B\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterface: VE.Can (RJ45) to CAN-bus BMS Type B connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.22 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076071631\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnecting a Victron Cerbo GX or GX-series device to a CAN-bus Type B BMS battery system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLinking a Victron MultiPlus-II GX or Quattro GX to a compatible third-party lithium battery with CAN-bus Type B communication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid and hybrid solar installations where the battery BMS and inverter\/charger are mounted at a distance from one another.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine and vehicle installations requiring a longer cable run between the battery management system and the Victron control device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBattery cabinet builds where cable routing adds to the required run length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Type B Cable, 5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, confirm that your BMS uses the CAN-bus Type B pinout. Connecting a Type B cable to a Type A BMS port will not establish communication and may cause issues depending on the hardware involved. CAN-bus networks require correct termination at both ends of the bus; refer to your BMS and Victron device documentation to confirm termination requirements for your specific system topology. Installation within a solar PV or battery storage system should be carried out by a qualified electrician or accredited installer familiar with Victron equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59863727014222,"sku":"ASS030720150","price":10.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_ASS030720150_-_VE.Can_to_CAN-bus_BMS_type_B_Cable_5_m.webp?v=1781183781","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/vecan-canbus-bms-type-b-cable-5m","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
