If you add a solar installation to your 2017 FC, the controller will normally reside near the batteries. If your controller has a remote monitor, your can reuse the existing CAT5 cable that comes preinstalled in your AS to connect the monitor to your controller. Check your FC manual for the location of the prewiring. The CAT5 cable is usually preinstalled to run from near the batteries to the wall near the SeeLevel monitor. You would typically remove the SeeLevel monitor panel and fish around with your hand to locate the end of the CAT5 cable.
Your controller may or not be compatible with a CAT5 cable. Note that the CAT5 is made up of four twisted pairs so if you're handy you can repurpose this bundle to do what you need.
