First I am not asking about DIY cables.
I am asking about the standard LAN RJ45 cable that one can buy in any computer store.
Why the Victron made cable so expensive?
In my country, the 0.3m Victron made (blue) cable cost over $10.
The standard CAT 5E 0.5m cable in computer store costs 60 cents.
What is so different in those "blue" cables.
smurfmade ... smurfblue is very expensive
Guessing it's the number of steps involved in getting it to you.
As long as the cable is fully wired, any decent quality Cat 5e or higher can be used. Some older cables don't have all the pairs as they're not used for lower speeds.
I haven't seen any difference compared to high quality cables. We don't use Victron UTP cables but I would only use Victron VE.Direct cables.
