I have the same chanllenge, and ordered two 5 meter cables. But the distributer tells me it is not possible to connect the 5 m VE Can - Can bus BMS with a simple RJ45 extender. I really liked the solution. Can you confrim it did work for you. Thank you

You can also use just a RJ45 extender and another 5m patch cable.
