Product Overview

The Pentair 350122Z RS-485 Low Voltage Communication Cable is a genuine OEM replacement cable designed to provide reliable communication between compatible Pentair IntelliFlo® variable speed pumps and Pentair automation systems or communication interfaces. This 50-foot, two-conductor cable uses the industry-standard RS-485 communication protocol, allowing your pump to receive speed commands, scheduling information, and automation instructions from compatible Pentair control systems.

Whether you're replacing a damaged cable, upgrading an automation system, or installing a new IntelliFlo pump, the 350122Z ensures dependable communication and seamless integration. Unlike power wiring, this low-voltage cable is dedicated solely to data transmission, allowing the automation system to control pump speeds and operating modes without interrupting power to the pump.
