The Victron VE.Direct Cable connects VE.Direct-compatible Victron devices for monitoring, configuration and data transfer. At 0.9 metres, it's built for installations where components sit close together, such as a shared enclosure or DIN rail panel.

Key features

• Length, 0.9m, the shortest option in the VE.Direct cable range.
• Compatibility, connects any two VE.Direct-compatible Victron devices, including MPPT solar charge controllers, BMV battery monitors and Phoenix inverters.
• Protocol, uses the VE.Direct serial communication protocol for real-time data transfer.
• App support, works with VictronConnect when paired with a VE.Direct to USB or VE.Direct to Bluetooth Smart dongle.
• Weight, 25g (0.025kg).

Applications

Use it to link an MPPT SmartSolar or BlueSolar charge controller to a BMV battery monitor, or connect a Phoenix inverter to a VE.Direct panel. It also works for connecting a VE.Direct device to a Raspberry Pi or computer via a VE.Direct to USB interface, or for wireless monitoring with a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle. It suits off-grid and mobile setups where devices share a single battery box or enclosure.

Installation notes

This is a data cable only, it does not carry mains or battery power. It can be fitted or removed without specialist tools, but the correct VE.Direct port must be used on each device with the connector fully seated. For full system commissioning involving inverters, charge controllers or battery connections, use a qualified electrician or accredited installer.
