Type A or type B CAN-bus cable for Pylontech US5000B

A month or so ago I was asking about which lithium batteries to buy, and whether I should get a CerboGX. Thank you all for your feedback then, it helped me to finally decide on Pylontech 5000B, and to indeed get a CerboGX. Now there is some confusion around cabling. The site we bought from said to buy a VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS Type B Cable to hook the batteries to the Cerbo, and so that's what we bought. Now we read in Victron's document about Pylontech, under section 3. CAN-bus wiring, that we need the type A cable. Is this correct? Has the website we bought from led us astray? Thanks for any help.
