7. Use a pre-crimped cable to connect via Communication 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 (see
Figure 21
).
d. Use a crimping tool to crimp the connector.
e. Connect the Ethernet connector to the RJ45 port on the communication board
(see
Figure 20
).
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 .
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.

The inverter connection does not support RX/TX polarity change. Supporting crossover Ethernet cables
depends on the switch capabilities.
