 +== Note on cable length extensions and bus termination ==
 +
 +To ensure signal integrity and robust operation, particularly ensure that;
 +
 +Extension cabling complies with the minimum cross-sectional area specifications in the USB to RS485 data sheet.
 +
 +Extension cabling has appropriate shielding and twisted pair cores
 +
 +The original cable attached to the Victron RS485 to USB interface is reduced to a maximum length of 20cm in installations where the total cable length is over 10m or there are installation/site specific interference issues – in this case appropriate/high quality cabling should be used for the entire cable length, rather than only for the extension length.
 +
 +Cabling is installed separated/away from the main DC or AC power cabling.
 +
 +All wiring is properly terminated (including unused wires) and properly isolated from weather/water ingress.
 +
 +RS485 networks are traditionally terminated at both ends with 120Ω terminators. This is not required if the cable length is short and you are using the Victron supplied RS485 to USB lengths, but may be required if they are extended for longer cable runs. The ET340 meter has a built in termination resistor that can be enabled by bridging terminals 7 and 9.
 +
 +For detailed wiring/installation notes and specifications refer to the [[https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/Cables/DS_USB_RS485_CABLES.pdf|Victron RS485 to USB interface cable ‘Datasheet’]].
