RJ45 cables confusion

I will soon be ready to connect all the data cables between my battery bms (not Victron) and the inverter and the cerbox gx, I'm wondering if I can use standard ethernet cables, (like the ones you get sent with a router) To the Cerbo gx? Are the cables all wired the same fir bms can, ve can and ve bus?

If not, are there wiring diagrams anywhere to see?

In general as long as the cables are good quality and have all connectors wired, straight cables work.

There's one exception - the BMS connection. For this follow @Daza 's instructions.
