VE.Can terminators and Victron Cerbo GX - Where do they go?

[Yoda]

Two VE.Can terminators were included in my Cerbo GX box and after reading things I have no clue where they go or if even needed . They are the little blue things in the second photo beside the power cable (closed off RJ connectors). https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-...av-secondimage

The manual and instruction are vague. Right now I have the power cable plugged in. 3 - VE Direct cables from the two MPPT units and the BMV 712 and the Multiplus plugged into the VE Buss port. Also the Touch 50 plunged into the HDMI port and the USB beside it for power per the Touch 50 instructions.

I have nothing in the BMS-Can or the VE.Can ports on the Cerbo GX. From searching the Victron Blog it appear I don't need the VE.Can terminators plugged in anywhere .- is this correct?

BTW - I am having to remount the Cerbo GX in a different orientation from where I had it ( now vertically) to get all the cables to fit. Once the cables are plugged in I was thinking of using a dab or silicone to hold the plugs in place (against plug and Cerbo GX case). Don't want them wiggling out under travel - Thoughts?

Thanks for any help on this

BTW I have not power up yet so dont know if everything works or not - getting close.

They must not be very important because my system works fine without them. At least you read the manual

Is that what my problem is - to much time reading and not enough doing? Tomorrow to get on the roof - need to put together the scaffolding and safety ladder.

Thanks for the easy answer - Ill add them to the ditty bag with the other spare parts and stash them in my parts bin. That way it will take me twice as long to find them if I need them later.
Thanks

I saved all my terminators as well - just in case things didn't work when I "flipped the switch" the first time. Maybe they are used to protect the unused connections from dust???

I know in some of the equipment we have, the terminators are hit or miss. Sometimes they help the reliability of the connections. Should go on any unused communication circuits.
