A 1.8m VE.Direct cable for linking Victron Energy devices that use the VE.Direct communication protocol. One end has a right angle connector, useful where space is tight or the cable needs a low-profile exit from the device port.

Key features

• Length, 1.8m cable
• Connectors, one right angle, one straight
• Weight, 45g
• Compatibility, any Victron device with a VE.Direct port, including BMV battery monitors, SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers and Phoenix inverters
• SKU, ASS030531218
• GTIN, 8719076019671

Product overview

VE.Direct is Victron's point-to-point interface for passing data between compatible devices and monitoring gear such as a Color Control GX, Cerbo GX, or a PC running VictronConnect. This cable carries that link over a 1.8m run, enough for most standard enclosure and wall-mount layouts without excess slack.

The right angle connector at one end eases strain on the port where the cable must exit horizontally, or where a straight plug would foul against a panel, wall or nearby component. That matters in compact battery enclosures, van conversions and marine installs where routing space is limited.

Applications

• Connecting SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT charge controllers to a GX device or VE.Direct to USB interface
• Linking BMV battery monitors to a Cerbo GX or Color Control GX in tight enclosures
• Connecting Phoenix inverters to monitoring or display equipment
• Van, motorhome and marine installations with restricted cable routing around the device port
• Replacing a damaged or missing VE.Direct cable in an existing Victron system

What's in the box

• 1x VE.Direct cable, 1.8m, one right angle connector and one straight connector

Installation notes

Power down both devices before connecting or disconnecting. Orient the right angle connector to suit your cable exit direction. VE.Direct is data-only and carries no power. Fitting the cable itself needs no special qualification, though associated electrical work on solar, battery and inverter systems should be done by a qualified installer.
