I am installing Cerbo GX to a multi plus compact and the point is 200m away from the warehouse. I want to install the GX 200m away from the inverter. Will they communicate with the rj45?

I think I made a mistake. The answer above was for VE.Can connections because that's what you asked for. I have adjusted the title now accordingly.

However, your MultiPlus does not have VE.Can but VE.Bus. That makes a big difference. AFAIK the max. cable length for VE.Bus is 100m in the ideal world. The value is probably significantly lower, also depending on the cable quality. In any case well below 200m.
