Shimano E-Tube Di2 Internal Junction-A - EW-RS910
Awesome and concealed junction box
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
When I bought my new bike with Di2 parts, I didnât like how the junction box hung under the stem. When looking online for possible solutions, I came across this. Amazing! It is so conspicuous that you wouldnât even know that there was anything different with the handlebar ends. Also, it provides a cleaner look in the cockpit of my bike. My bike didn’t have the in frame Di2 junction box, but this kit would also allow for that conversion with the plate for te downtime also included. Awesome, and all the functionality of the original junction box but with the looks!
Gary Y.Makes for a clean setup
This internal junction helps clean up your wire setup by allowing for internal routing of wires as opposed to the junction box under the stem. It'd be silly to run the old, external style with this being available now.

I used this as part of a conversion of a mechanical Pinarello F10 to Di2 with an in frame application. It came out awesome. Very happy with the conversion.
aak111086091Awesome improvement to the old Junction

I've built up a few DI2 bikes with this internal junction A recently and it really cleans up the build. With new stems and bars you can run everything internally and the junction just looks like a bar end plug.
CJ BrishWorks great, makes Di2 even cleaner

This thing deletes the junction box that hangs down under the stem, and makes an already clean front end even cleaner. It comes with mounts for both a bar end and frame port style install. The one thing to note, if you do not have a "di2" specific handlebar, you will have to drill a hole in the drops of your bar in order to get the wires to install the proper way.
Luke DordaiI already have Di2, with a 5 port junction box (TT set up with shifters on aero bars and regular bars). Does this have enough ports to handle that? Also, do you need to have E-tube specific derailers or can regular Di2 DRs be retro fit to E-tube? Would the inline wireless unit be an easy way to retrofit to E-tube. Thanks.
Jeff M.Hey Jeff,
Unfortunately this does not have enough ports, there are only two in the back of it. You may be able to come up with some way of using a combination of this piece and the internal junction box (SM-JC41) but I haven't experimented enough to know with 100% certainty that would work.
Luke DordaiI have Enve Carbon Compacts bars (from 2014). I know the current iteration Compact bars are now Di2 compatible; just not sure whether my 2014 bars are though...
RodI just confirmed that my Enve bars are NOT currently Di2 compatible; however, these are: https://www.competitivecyclist.com/enve-road-handlebar-di2-compatible?skidn=ENV0073-BK-S38CMCOMPACT&ti=U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM6ZW52ZSBkaTI6MToxOmVudmUgZGky

I was most impressed by the pretty lights on this junction box. When I switch syncro shift modes the green and red lights flash simultaneously and no matter the temperature or time of year I can't help but feel a bit of Christmas cheer.
The actual review: It installs easily with the y split root, allows you to perform adjustments and change syncro shift modes and provides a convenient charging port.
Zane DordaiAnyone have the part number handy to the Y-split root cable? Or know if it already comes with this Junction box?
