Solar Asssitant linking SA15k to SOKs x5. Which cable?

[shazam]

We finally have the system up and running. Time to order Solar Assistant! I'm confused on which cable to purchase with the SA unit.

We have the SolArk attached to the master SOK battery via the port labeled 'Battery Canbus'.

There is also an empty port on the SolArk labeled 'Modbus 485'.

What's the preferred cableology for this setup? Thanks!

SA can only talk to one mfr at a time, but can query the inverter for the battery stats, so I’d start with that.

Wow...thanks for the super-quick reply! I'm having a less-than-optimal-comprehension day.

Is this what I need?....and attach it to the Canbus 485? https://solar-assistant.io/shop/products/sunsynk_rs485

Be gentle with a newbie Thanks!

Sure looks like the right one. I haven’t done cables with SA yet, but that’s the one I’d get for your configuration.
