Genuine Victron communication cable
A genuine 1.8 meter Victron data cable for reliable VE.Bus and standard VE.Can communication links.
The Victron RJ45 UTP Cable 1.8m, part ASS030064951, is a genuine Victron Energy RJ45 cable designed for dependable communication between compatible VE.Bus, VE.Can, control, interface, and GX-device components. At approximately 5.9 feet long, it gives RV, marine, solar, and off-grid installers flexible reach without the clutter of an oversized network cable.
Critical system data deserves a correctly wired, reliable connection.
Advanced RV, marine, solar, and off-grid systems depend on accurate communication between inverter/chargers, GX devices, control panels, interfaces, and supported CAN-network products. This genuine Victron cable provides a known straight-through wiring format and exact part number, reducing uncertainty during installation and service.
RJ45 connectors can carry several different protocols, so always verify the labeled ports and the installation manual for both devices. VE.Bus, VE.Can, BMS-Can, and Ethernet can look physically similar while serving different functions.
Use this cable for supported applications including MultiPlus and Quattro VE.Bus links, Digital Multi Control, Inverter Control, MK3-USB interfaces, GX-device connections, and standard VE.Can links where the equipment manual specifies straight-through RJ45 UTP wiring.
The 1.8 meter length is ideal for connecting products mounted on the same backboard or across a medium-size battery bay. It provides more routing freedom than a 0.3 m or 0.9 m cable without the oversized loops created by longer 3 m or 5 m cables.
Exact-match communication hardware for professional system builders and DIY installers.
The connector may fit, but the cable still needs the correct pinout and construction.
Victron documents the required cable as a standard straight-through RJ45 UTP cable, so a properly made high-quality network cable can work where that standard is specified. The risk comes from crossover cables, damaged cords, questionable crimps, brittle conductors, or an incorrect battery-CAN pinout. A genuine Victron cable removes those unknowns and simplifies replacement support.

Enough reach for clean routing without unnecessary cable coils.
At roughly 5.9 feet, the 1.8 m cable is a versatile choice for devices mounted on the same wall, backboard, cabinet, or medium-size equipment bay. It provides useful routing flexibility while keeping the installation easier to trace and service than a much longer cable.
Common questions about part number, length, VE.Bus, VE.Can, VE.Direct, GX devices, batteries, and termination.
This genuine Victron Energy RJ45 UTP cable is used for supported Victron communication links, including Digital Multi Control, Inverter Control, MK3-USB, VE.Bus connections between compatible VE.Bus devices, and standard VE.Bus or VE.Can connections to a compatible GX device.
1.8 meters is approximately 5.9 feet, or about 70.9 inches. This mid-length cable is useful for components mounted on the same electrical backboard or across a medium-size RV, marine, or solar equipment bay.
VE.Bus and standard VE.Can connections can use straight-through RJ45 UTP cables when the device manuals specify them. VE.Direct uses a smaller proprietary four-pin connector and requires a VE.Direct cable. Always identify the labeled ports on both devices before ordering or connecting a cable.
A correctly wired, high-quality straight-through RJ45 UTP cable can work where Victron specifies a standard UTP cable. However, a crossover cable, damaged patch cord, poor crimp, or unknown construction can create communication faults. This genuine Victron cable provides a verified part number, length, connector format, and factory assembly.
Yes, this cable can be used for supported VE.Bus links between MultiPlus, Quattro, and other compatible VE.Bus devices, including parallel, split-phase, or three-phase systems that are configured according to Victron instructions.
Only when the installation manual for the exact Epoch battery specifies a standard straight-through RJ45 UTP cable for that connection. Many managed CAN-bus batteries require a manufacturer-specific harness or a Victron VE.Can-to-CAN-bus BMS Type A or Type B cable because the battery-side pinout can differ. Verify the battery model, port label, CAN profile, and cable diagram before connecting.
This is a standard straight-through RJ45 UTP cable. A crossover cable should not be substituted where Victron calls for its standard RJ45 UTP cable.
VE.Can networks normally require the correct VE.Can terminators at both open ends of the network. VE.Bus connections do not use VE.Can terminators. Follow the manual for the exact devices and ports in your system.
Do not assume that every RJ45-shaped port is Ethernet. VE.Bus, VE.Can, BMS-Can, and Ethernet can use physically similar connectors but different protocols and sometimes different pin assignments. Use the cable only with the ports identified by the relevant Victron or battery documentation.
