10 m of VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type A Cable ??
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
To clarify, it will not work if join 2 Victron type A cables together, you need to join 1 Victron type A and 1 standard ethernet cable.
I don't think that will work with two type A cables.
The 2nd one will mix up the pins.
You need to use a normal straight patch cable.

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