7. Use a pre-crimped cable to connect via gland #1 to the RJ45 plug on the inverter's communication
board or, if using a spool of cable, connect as follows:
a. Insert the cable through the gland.
b. Remove the cable's external insulation using a crimping tool or cable cutter and expose eight
wires.
c. Insert the eight wires into an RJ45 connector, as described in Figure 26
d. Use a crimping tool to crimp the connector.
e. Connect the Ethernet connector to the RJ45 port on the communication board.
8. For the switch/router side, use a pre-crimped cable or use a crimper to prepare an RJ45
communication connector: Insert the eight wires into the RJ45 connector in the same order as above
(Figure 26).
9. Connect the cable RJ45 connector to the RJ45 port of the Ethernet switch or router.
You can connect more than one inverter to the same switch/router or to different switches/routers,
as needed. Each inverter sends its monitored data independently to the SolarEdge monitoring
platform.
1 The inverter connection does not support RX/TX polarity change. Supporting crossover Ethernet cables depends on the
switch capabilities.
