The following explains how to connect Ethernet wires to the inverter Ethernet terminal

block. These instructions replace pages 50-53 of the SolarEdge Installation Guide V2.0

and pages 72-75 of the SolarEdge Installation Guide North America V1.6.

1. Insert the Ethernet CAT5/6 cable through the appropriate communication

gland.

2. Remove the cable’s external isolation using the crimping tool or cable cutter

and expose eight wires. Standard cables have eight wires (four twisted pairs), as

shown in the diagram below.

3. The inverter has an eight-pin terminal block connector for Ethernet

communication. Pull it out, as shown below:

6. Close the screws of the terminal block connectors and insert the Ethernet

terminal block into the communication board.

7. For the switch/router side, prepare an RJ45 connector as follows:

 Insert the eight wires into the RJ45 connector.

Figure 4: Inserting Wires into the RJ45 Connector

 Use an Ethernet crimper to crimp the wires.

Connect the end of the Ethernet cable with the RJ45 connector to the RJ45 port of the

Ethernet switch or router.
