My rough draft here is a USB-serial interface with an isolated DC-DC converter and a isolated usb-serial interface, so you are at least mostly electrically and opto isolated from the SBJ. Plug into a USB and then power the SBJT. So USB to a small box, then cat5 to the SBJ. This is a small

But if you have the correct ohm resistance of the shunt? Your monitoring device should have a setting for that? With the ohm reading, it should be pretty accurate. I'm using one of those shunt (150A 20$) on my electric bike and I get the same amp draw reading on my fluke meter. Max I draw is 65A

Apparently there are USB sticks that are basically a GPS receiver and a PL2303 for $30-40. So you get the date/time. Cool. Then they take the 1PPS output to blink a f***ing LED. Really!? I was reading some blogs where folks have opened them up and wired a super tiny jumper from 1PPS to DCD.
