Ethernet Panel Mount Adapter

Hi there,

I am busy designing a steel wall panel for a Victron system. I want to better manage cables and therefore I want to run them behind the panel and only have a short piece coming out from the equipment. For the VE Bus and VE can cables - could I use these RJ45 adapters to take the cables to the back of the panel in a neat manner? I also plan to parallel 3 Multiplus II's - and want to use the same methodology to connect them together.

Thanks

Patch panels add variables and opportunities to disrupt comms. Neatness is great but less complexity and stability is better. Rather don’t insert unnecessary parts in critical comms channels.

I do a lot of datacenter work and we avoid this stuff where possible and where they exist we spend way too much time diagnosing comms errors.

Keep the VE/CAN bus(s) clean.
