besttruck RS-485 Pool Pump Communication Cable 25' — 8-Conductor PVC Jacket, Metal-Tip Connectors

This replacement cable (part numbers 356324, 356324Z) provides reliable digital communication between variable-speed pool pumps and pool controllers. Built with an 8-color conductor scheme and PVC-sheathed jacket, the cable supports balanced RS-485 signaling for long-distance, noise-resistant data transfer. IP68-style metal-tipped connectors and copper conductors deliver durable connections that meet or exceed original-equipment expectations.

How does this cable improve pump-to-controller communication?

The cable uses an RS-485 differential interface that reduces common-mode interference and maintains signal integrity across longer runs. That makes it ideal for installations where the pool equipment and the automation panel are separated by distance or electrical noise sources.

• RS-485 balanced transmission for stable digital signaling
• Eight distinct conductors for power, ground, speed and control signals
• PVC jacket and metal-tipped connectors for robust environmental protection

Which pumps and control systems are compatible?

This communication cable was designed to mate with SuperFlo VST, SuperMax VS, WhisperFlo XFVS and Max-E-Pro XFVS pumps. It also integrates with common pool automation systems so you can centralize pump control and monitoring.

• Compatible pumps: SuperFlo VST, SuperMax VS, WhisperFlo XFVS, Max-E-Pro XFVS
• Compatible controllers: Easytouch, Intellitouch, Intellicenter, Jandy Aqualink
• Direct replacement for part numbers 356324 and 356324Z

What are the cable's construction and wiring details?

The cable contains eight color-coded copper conductors in a PVC jacket for corrosion resistance and durability. Conductors are identified for RS-485 data lines, power, ground and three speed-level signals plus a quick-clean input, simplifying wiring during installation or replacement.

• Conductor colors and functions: Green (RS485 -DT), Yellow (RS485 +DT), Red (+5V output)
• Black (common ground), White/Blue/Orange (SPEED 1/2/3), Brown (QUICK CLEAN)
• Stripping guidance: 1" outer jacket, 1/4" wire insulation for screw terminal attachment

How easy is it to install and maintain?

Installation follows a straightforward three-step process: plug the connector into the pump, secure the locking nut, and terminate each color-coded conductor at the system screw terminals. The cable's durable materials reduce routine maintenance and the metal-tipped connectors help preserve a corrosion-resistant interface.

• Plug-and-twist locking nut for a secure pump connection
• Color-coded wires speed up correct terminal hookup
• PVC jacket and metal-tipped connectors lower corrosion risk

Who is this for? This 25' besttruck communication cable is intended for pool technicians, installers and DIY homeowners replacing a failed or missing pump-to-automation link on compatible variable-speed pumps. It is particularly useful when the controller is located a distance from the pump or in environments with electrical noise, and for anyone wanting a direct OE-style replacement (356324 / 356324Z) with clearly labeled conductors for fast installation.
