Victron CIP050060000

Does anyone use one of these?

I am looking for a 6 post busbar/fuse holder. Battery positive on one feeding to 5 positive outs. I had been looking at the Lynx Power In, but those only accommodate for 4 out and I don't really want to buy and allocate the space for another entire Lynx.

My question on the CIP050060000 is that "blank" spot. In the video on Victron's page, it appears that that is where I connect the battery positive in, but that spot isn't connected with the busbar. Am I missing something? Is it connected within or under the plastic housing?

I am also looking at the Littelfuse system as an alternative but it seems like the ZCASE fuses are a little harder to come by.

Thanks all!

All Victron gear should be purchased from an authorized source known to give good tech support.

Do not just shop online based on price.

My reco is Alan at Bay Marine, ideally direct rather than through the eBay / Amazon shops. Justin's the lead tech there.

Also, Victron's user forum is very responsive.

I'll reach out to Bay Marine. I had been shopping my items via Hodges Marine as I do not wish to purchase (anything really) through Amazon as it is wrought with fake reviews and counterfeit products.

Thanks, john!
