When I use an ordinary LAN cable to connect VE-Bus from the MPII Inverter to Cerbo-GX my system shows an error on the MPII-3000-35-48 and stops charging from MPPT250-70.
So what is the pinout of the VE-Bus cables please?

I am looking for the pinout of RJ45 UTP Cable
It's just a standard straight-through LAN patch cable (NOT a crossover cable.) So long as the colours are same at each end it should work; these are normally wired as per T568B though.
@Marconi
Problem is probably low quality cables, or lower speed lan cables which do not have all pins wired.
Thank you, but I tried different LAN cables, even a high end Telegärtner as we use in Broadcast tech. from GX VE-Bus to MPII VE-Bus. Even tried a terminator, but nothing helped. The pinouts are strange anyway. Many VE devives need very unusual wiring. Why not make it all 1:1 pin cables? Well anyway, I ordered two original cables from Victron, just in case and who cares...;-)
