Description
The sPOD BantamX Non-Switch Panel Kit (SKU 870115) is the universal 8-circuit solid-state BantamX power module with 84-inch (7-foot) battery cables — no switch panel included. Built for builders whose module mounting location is farther from the battery or control interface than the 36-inch cable version can reach. Eight circuits at 30A each, expandable to 32 channels. Operates on 12V or 24V DC.
Switch panel is NOT included. This is the BantamX module and 84-inch cables only. If 36 inches of reach is sufficient for your installation, order SKU 870114 at $20 less.

| 84-inch battery cable set | ✓ |
| 10-ft CAT-6 Ethernet cable | ✓ |

84-Inch vs. 36-Inch Cable — Choose Before Ordering
| Cable Length | SKU | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 inches (3 feet) | 870114 | Module mounted close to battery — UTV engine bays, compact overland setups, short routing paths | $20 less |
| 84 inches (7 feet) | 870115 (this listing) | Remote module mounting — firewall to rear cargo area, engine bay to roof rack, van or trailer builds, battery-to-module separation over 3 feet | — |
Measure your full cable routing path from the battery to the planned module location before ordering. If the path exceeds 3 feet, the 84-inch kit is the correct choice. Insufficient cable length requires a return — excess cable is manageable, a short cable is not.
When to Order This SKU vs. a Complete Kit
| Situation | Right Choice |
|---|---|
| Already have a compatible sPOD switch panel | 870115 — module only |
| Running app-based wireless control only | 870115 — module only |
| Remote module placement requiring 7-foot cable reach | 870115 — module only |
| Van or trailer build with battery remote from module | 870115 — module only |
| Need a complete kit with HD switch panel included | Order BantamX HD universal kit instead |
| Need a vehicle-specific mounting solution | Order the vehicle-specific BantamX kit for your platform |
| Expanding an existing sPOD system with a second module | 870115 — pairs with existing controller port |
Compatible sPOD Switch Panels and Control Interfaces
| Interface | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| sPOD HD switch panel | Physical — 8 switches, RGB backlit | Connects via RJ45 CAT-6 cable |
| sPOD Mini6 switch panel | Physical — 6 switches | Connects via RJ45 CAT-6 cable |
| sPOD BantamX touchscreen | Touchscreen | Connects via RJ45 CAT-6 cable |
| sPOD Mobile App (iOS/Android) | Bluetooth app — wireless | Built-in Bluetooth — no cable required |
The BantamX module has 2 RJ45 controller ports — run two switch panels simultaneously or one panel plus app-based Bluetooth control from a single module.
Critical Compatibility
| Configuration | Notes |
|---|---|
| Non-sPOD switch panels | Not confirmed — BantamX module uses the sPOD CAT-6 RJ45 controller interface. Third-party switch panels are not compatible. |
| Winches and high-draw recovery motors | 30A max per circuit. Winches draw 250–400A under load. Wire winches direct to battery through a dedicated relay. |
| Any accessory requiring more than 30A per circuit | 30A hard ceiling per circuit. High-draw devices require direct battery wiring outside this system. |
| High-amp solenoids or brake controllers on the same battery post | High-amp solenoids or relay coils on the same positive battery post will damage the module. Isolate the BantamX battery connection from any high-amp relay or solenoid. |
Common Questions
Why would I need 84-inch cables instead of 36-inch? Remote module mounting. If your installation puts the BantamX module more than 3 feet from the battery — firewall to rear cargo area, engine bay to roof rack, front battery to mid-cab module in a van or trailer build — the 36-inch cables cannot reach. The 84-inch cables give you 7 feet of routing flexibility. Measure your exact path with a tape measure before committing to either length.
Does this kit work as a standalone wireless controller right out of the box? Yes — with the sPOD app. The BantamX module has built-in Bluetooth and is fully functional with the free sPOD app as the sole control interface. Download the app, pair, label your circuits, and control all 8 from your phone. Add a compatible sPOD switch panel via the RJ45 port when needed.
Can I expand beyond 8 circuits later? Yes. The BantamX has two RJ45 controller ports and is expandable to 32 channels. Up to 4 BantamX units can be daisy-chained. Order an additional BantamX module and connect via the second controller port when ready to expand.
Can I run two different switch panels on the same BantamX module? Yes. Two RJ45 controller ports — run two physical switch panels simultaneously, or one panel plus Bluetooth app control, from a single module.
What mounting hardware is included? None specific — this is a universal module. Mount using the 1/4-20 threaded studs on the module housing to suit your build's available mounting surface. Use the 90-degree bracket (910275) or flat bracket (910330) for a clean, permanent mount.
The Obsidian Take
The BantamX Non-Switch Panel Kit (870115) is for the builder who needs 7 feet of battery cable reach between the battery and the module — and already has a control interface. Same module, same 8 circuits, same expandability as the 36-inch version. The only difference is cable length and $20.
Measure before you order. If your routing path is under 3 feet, order 870114. If it is over 3 feet, this is your kit. Buying the wrong cable length and returning costs more in time than the $20 separating the two SKUs.
Non-Returnable Notice: Electrical systems that have been powered and connected to a vehicle are non-returnable. Inspect the kit and confirm fitment before connecting to the battery.
