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.

Manufactured by Pentair to original equipment specifications, this cable provides the proper fit, connector, and signal quality required for long-term, reliable operation in residential and commercial pool applications.
