When connecting an Outback MATE to more than one OutBack power inverter, a HUB-4 or HUB-10 communication manager must be included in the system. The HUB communicates stacking, load share and power save off/on signals, completely coordinating and managing your system via the MATE.  Interconnection cabling is standard Ethernet CAT5 with RJ45 modular jacks.

OutBack HUB-4 System Communication Manager

The OutBack HUB-4 system communications manager allows the interconnection of up to four OutBack power conversion devices with the MATE. The interconnection creates a completely integrated Power System that is coordinated and managed by the MATE.The OutBack HUB-4 communicates stacking phase, load share, incremental start-up and shut-down information directly between the inverters.

The HUB-4 is powered via any inverter or OurBack charger controller.The Outback HUB-4 communication manager allows the MATE to control any combination of four FX series power inverters-chargers and OutBack charger controllers.

OutBack Hub-10 Communication Manager

The OutBack HUB-10 system communications manager allows the interconnection of up to ten OutBack power conversion devices with the MATE. The interconnection creates a completely integrated Power System that is coordinated and managed by the MATE.The OutBack HUB-10 communicates stacking phase, load share, incremental start-up and shut-down information directly between the inverters.

The HUB-10 is powered via any inverter or MX60 charge controller. The OutBack HUB-10 allows the MATE to control any combination of eight FX series inverter-chargers and two OutBack charge controllers.
