Low-profile genuine Victron connection
A genuine Victron Energy 1.8m VE.Direct cable with one 90-degree connector for clean data routing in shallow RV, marine, and off-grid installations.
The Victron VE.Direct right angle cable is the exact factory accessory for installers who need reliable communication without sacrificing rear-panel clearance. Part ASS030531218 combines one low-profile 90-degree VE.Direct connector with one straight connector and approximately 5.9 feet of routing length, making it ideal for compatible SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPTs, BMV monitors, SmartShunts, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, and GX monitoring devices installed in compact electrical spaces.
A low-profile VE.Direct plug for flush-mounted and compact electrical layouts.
A straight VE.Direct connector projects outward from the equipment and needs enough space for the plug, cable bend, and service loop. In a shallow RV wall cavity, compact marine dashboard, or tightly packed electrical cabinet, that extra depth can force the cable against a panel or create an unnecessarily sharp bend.
The 90-degree end on this flush-mount Victron cable turns the cable path alongside the device, helping reduce the space required behind the mounting panel. It is a cleaner way to protect connector clearance and avoid loading the VE.Direct port when a straight cable would be difficult to route naturally.
One end uses Victron's right-angle VE.Direct plug, designed to minimize depth behind mounting panels. Position it at the compatible device that needs the tightest rear clearance, provided the connector orientation does not block neighboring ports.
The 1.8-meter length provides moderate reach for a GX device, battery monitor, shunt, charger, or solar controller mounted in the same cabinet, adjacent compartment, helm console, or compact solar equipment bay.
Connect compatible Victron components to a central GX monitoring system.
Correct connector geometry, pinout, and factory termination for the VE.Direct ecosystem.
Plan the connector direction before the equipment is permanently mounted.
Exact-match product, connector, and compatibility details.
Choose the cable by the ports and manuals—not by the Victron name alone.
Compatibility, connector orientation, clearance, routing, and GX integration guidance for ASS030531218.
No. ASS030531218 is the 1.8-meter VE.Direct cable with one 90-degree right-angle connector and one standard straight connector. This gives you a low-profile connection at the device with limited rear clearance while keeping a conventional straight connection at the other end.
Victron designed the right-angle VE.Direct cable family to reduce the depth required behind mounting panels. The 90-degree connector helps the cable turn alongside the equipment instead of projecting straight out, which can make flush-mounted RV control panels, marine dashboards, and shallow electrical cabinets easier to wire while reducing forced bends at the port.
It creates a direct data connection between compatible products with VE.Direct ports. Common examples include supported SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT solar chargers, BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, Orion XS units, and Smart IP43 chargers connected to a Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, Color Control GX, or another compatible GX device with an available VE.Direct port.
The cable is 1.8 meters long, which is approximately 5.91 feet and is commonly described as a 6-foot Victron cable. This moderate length works well between nearby components in an RV electrical cabinet, boat helm, battery compartment, or compact solar installation.
Compatibility depends on both devices having supported VE.Direct ports and on the connection method specified in their manuals. Typical examples include many BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, SmartSolar and BlueSolar MPPT solar chargers, Orion XS products, Smart IP43 chargers, and compatible GX devices. Always verify the exact model and port before ordering.
No. MultiPlus and Quattro inverter/chargers normally communicate through VE.Bus, which uses a straight-through RJ45 UTP cable. This product uses the smaller proprietary four-pin VE.Direct interface and will not fit VE.Bus, VE.Can, BMS-Can, Ethernet, or VE.Direct-to-USB ports.
No. Victron specifies a maximum VE.Direct cable length of 10 meters and states that VE.Direct cables cannot be extended. Use one continuous factory-made cable in the required length. For routes longer than 10 meters, follow Victron guidance for a VE.Direct-to-USB interface with an appropriate active USB extension.
Place the right-angle end at the compatible VE.Direct device that needs reduced rear depth, provided the connector orientation does not block adjacent ports or interfere with the enclosure. Confirm the physical layout before securing the equipment, and leave enough service loop so neither connector is pulled or twisted.
Bluetooth is useful for local setup and monitoring through VictronConnect, but it does not replace a direct VE.Direct connection when the device needs to report to a Cerbo GX or another GX system. Use this cable for supported centralized monitoring and VRM integration through the GX device.
Confirm the exact ports, connector direction, and device manuals before connecting.
Not every Victron product uses VE.Direct, and some products with multiple communication interfaces require a specific port or connection method for GX integration. Test-fit the angled end before final panel mounting, keep the factory terminations intact, and route the cable where it will not be pinched, pulled, abraded, exposed to damaging heat, or confused with RJ45 VE.Bus or VE.Can wiring.
