Genuine Victron VE.Direct data connection
A genuine Victron Energy 5m VE.Direct cable for medium-range data routing between compatible battery monitors, MPPT solar chargers, inverters, and GX devices.
The Victron VE.Direct cable 5m, part ASS030530250, provides approximately 16.4 feet of factory-terminated reach for RV, marine, solar, and off-grid system layouts. Use this special four-core Victron data cable to connect compatible VE.Direct products across separate compartments without cutting, splicing, or leaving short extension joins inside your electrical system.
Carry solar, battery, and inverter data between compatible components across separate compartments.
A connected Victron system depends on reliable communication between each VE.Direct product and its monitoring or control device. This 5-meter cable gives installers enough reach to connect components mounted in an RV basement, boat electrical locker, solar cabinet, or battery compartment to a nearby Cerbo GX or other compatible GX device.
It is a purpose-built VE.Direct cable—not an RJ45 Ethernet cable, VE.Bus cable, VE.Can cable, battery CAN-BMS harness, or USB interface. Confirm the labeled ports on both devices before ordering.
Use this cable with compatible VE.Direct-equipped products, which can include supported SmartShunts, BMV battery monitors, BlueSolar or SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers, selected VE.Direct inverters, and GX devices with an available VE.Direct port. Always verify the exact product manual because not every Victron model uses VE.Direct.
At approximately 16.4 feet, this cable can bridge an RV storage bay to an interior electrical panel, route through a protected boat bulkhead, or connect components positioned on opposite sides of a medium-size battery compartment without adding spliced extensions.
Factory-made connections for a low-voltage data network that can be sensitive to routing and interference.
VE.Direct uses Victron’s special four-core data connection. Factory-terminated connectors avoid the hand-crimping and improvised splices that can create intermittent communication faults. The plugs are keyed; align them carefully, provide strain relief, and never force a connector into a different port family.
Victron supports VE.Direct cable lengths up to 10 meters, so this 5-meter run is within the documented limit. VE.Direct is unshielded and untwisted; route it away from inverter AC output wiring, high-current battery cables, motors, generators, ignition systems, and radio-frequency sources where practical.

Protect the cable and preserve communication quality.
Choose the correct cable family and length for each connection.
Compatibility, cable length, routing, device connections, and VE.Direct versus RJ45 guidance.
VE.Direct is Victron’s special four-core data connection used by compatible products such as battery monitors, solar chargers, and certain inverters. VE.Bus uses wider RJ45 network-style connectors and is used by products such as MultiPlus and Quattro inverter/chargers. VE.Can and BMS-Can also use RJ45-style cabling but are different protocols. Always match the cable to the labeled ports on the exact devices.
No. Epoch batteries with native Victron communication use CAN-bus communication, not VE.Direct. A managed battery may require a standard RJ45 connection or a manufacturer-specific Victron Type A, Type B, or other CAN-BMS cable, depending on the battery-side pinout. Follow the battery and GX-device manuals.
Five meters is approximately 16.4 feet. This length works well when a VE.Direct device is in an RV storage bay, marine electrical compartment, or battery cabinet and the compatible GX device is mounted elsewhere nearby.
No. Victron sells factory VE.Direct cables from 0.3 meters through 10 meters, and 5 meters is within the supported range. VE.Direct runs should not exceed 10 meters or be extended. Route the cable away from high-current DC wiring, AC conductors, motors, ignition sources, and other strong interference sources.
It can connect compatible devices that have VE.Direct ports, including supported BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, BlueSolar or SmartSolar MPPT chargers, selected VE.Direct inverters, and compatible GX devices. Compatibility depends on the ports and manual for the exact model; not every Victron product uses VE.Direct.
Victron states that VE.Direct cables cannot be extended and have a maximum supported length of 10 meters. Cutting or splicing can introduce connection problems and interference. Choose a factory-made 10-meter cable or use a VE.Direct-to-USB interface with an appropriate active USB extension when a longer route is required.
Victron lists this as a straight VE.Direct cable and does not identify a separate input or output end. Connect the keyed plugs only to compatible VE.Direct ports, align them correctly, and never force a connector. Follow the manuals for both connected devices.
No. Direct computer connection requires a Victron VE.Direct-to-USB or VE.Direct-to-USB-C interface. This product is a VE.Direct-to-VE.Direct data cable for compatible device-to-device connections.
No. Victron’s technical wiring guide describes VE.Direct cable as a special four-core, unshielded and untwisted data cable. That makes correct routing important: keep it separated from inverter AC output wiring, high-current battery cables, motors, generators, and radio-frequency sources where practical.
