Xantrex Telephone to Network Cable Adapter

Seamlessly Connect Your Power System with the Xantrex Telephone to Network Cable Adapter

Upgrading or expanding your RV or marine power setup often means dealing with incompatible wiring. The Xantrex Telephone to Network Cable Adapter bridges that gap effortlessly, letting you tap into existing telephone lines or remote cables to build a reliable Xanbus network. Whether you're troubleshooting inverter performance or linking multiple devices like chargers and monitors, this adapter keeps your Freedom Series Inverter communicating without the hassle of full rewiring.

Designed for real-world off-grid adventures, it transforms standard 4-pin RJ11 telephone cables—commonly pre-installed in recreational vehicles and boats—into a functional Xanbus connection. Pair it with 6-pin RJ12 Xantrex remote cables for versatile compatibility that saves time and frustration during installations or repairs.

How the Adapter Simplifies Xanbus Networking

Xanbus is Xantrex's intelligent communication protocol that unifies your inverter, battery monitors, and system controllers. Normally, it requires specific network cables, but this adapter lets you repurpose what's already there. Plug one end into your Freedom Series Inverter's communication port and the other into a standard telephone jack or remote panel—your devices sync up instantly for real-time status updates on power draw, battery health, and more.

Available in red and black variants, these adapters match common color-coded wiring schemes in RVs and marine setups, making identification straightforward during complex installs. No special tools needed; it's a plug-and-play solution that enhances system reliability in mobile environments.

Perfect Compatibility for Freedom Series Inverters

Tailored specifically for Xantrex Freedom Series Inverters, this adapter ensures seamless integration without signal loss or compatibility hiccups. It's ideal for users running Freedom SW models, where monitoring multiple power sources is key to efficient energy management. Whether you're boondocking in remote campsites or navigating coastal waters, it supports the data flow essential for optimized performance.

• Works with pre-wired telephone lines in RVs and pleasure crafts
• Adapts 6-pin RJ12 remote cables for Xanbus expansion
• Supports daisy-chaining devices for full system oversight

Step-by-Step Installation Tips for Reliable Performance

Getting your adapter up and running takes minutes. Start by powering down your inverter to avoid electrical risks. Match the red or black adapter to your cable colors—red typically handles positive leads, black for negative in many setups. Insert the RJ11 or RJ12 end into the existing wall jack or remote harness, then connect the Xanbus side to your inverter's network port.

Test the connection by powering up and checking for network recognition on your display panel. If devices don't sync, inspect for bent pins or loose fits—common in dusty RV environments. Pro tip: Use cable ties to secure connections against vibrations from travel, extending the adapter's lifespan in rugged conditions.

1. Power off all connected devices
2. Identify and match cable colors
3. Plug in RJ11/RJ12 to adapter, then to inverter
4. Power on and verify network link
5. Secure cables to prevent movement

Key Benefits for RV, Marine, and Off-Grid Enthusiasts

This adapter isn't just a connector—it's a smart upgrade that cuts costs on new cabling and downtime. Enjoy centralized monitoring to catch issues like low battery voltage early, preventing unexpected power failures. Its durable build withstands the humidity of marine applications and the jolts of overland trips, backed by a limited 1-year warranty for peace of mind.
