Victron RJ45 UTP Cable 5m - ASS030065001
Genuine long-reach Victron communication cable
Victron Energy RJ45 UTP Cable 5m (16.4ft) | Part # ASS030065001
A genuine 5 meter Victron data cable for long-reach VE.Bus and standard VE.Can communication links.
The Victron RJ45 UTP Cable 5m, part ASS030065001, is a genuine Victron Energy RJ45 cable for dependable communication between compatible VE.Bus, VE.Can, control, interface, and GX-device components. Its 16.4-foot reach is ideal for connecting equipment across RV basements, fifth-wheel compartments, boat machinery spaces, cabins, helms, and larger off-grid electrical installations.
Built for dependable communication
Long-Distance Communication for Victron & Epoch Systems
Extend critical system data across larger RV, marine, and off-grid installations.
Advanced power systems depend on accurate communication between inverter/chargers, GX devices, control panels, interfaces, and supported CAN-network equipment. This genuine Victron cable provides a known straight-through wiring format and exact part number for long-reach routing through separated equipment spaces.
RJ45 connectors can carry different protocols, so always verify the labeled ports and installation manuals for both devices. VE.Bus, VE.Can, BMS-Can, and Ethernet can use similar connectors while serving different functions.
The Standard for VE.Bus & Standard VE.Can Networks
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.
5 Meters (16.4 Feet) for Major Cabin & Hull Routing
The 5 meter length provides the reach needed to route from an RV basement to a living-area GX device, from a fifth-wheel nose compartment to an interior control panel, or from a boat machinery space to the helm without joining multiple short cables.
Genuine Quality for Mobile & Off-Grid Installations
Exact-match communication hardware for professional installers and technical DIY builders.
Why not use an unknown 15-foot Ethernet cable?
The connector may fit, but the cable still needs the correct pinout and reliable assembly.
Victron documents the required cable as a standard straight-through RJ45 UTP cable, so a correctly made high-quality network cable can work where that standard is specified. The risk comes from crossover cables, damaged cords, poor crimps, brittle conductors, or an incorrect battery-CAN pinout. A genuine Victron cable removes those unknowns and simplifies procurement and support.
Compatible applications
Long-reach communication runs for Victron RV, marine, solar, backup, and off-grid systems.

VE.Bus, VE.Can, and VE.Direct guidance
The long-reach Victron cable
Route across large compartments without joining multiple short cables.
At approximately 16.4 feet, the 5 m cable provides useful reach for large RVs, fifth wheels, boats, and off-grid buildings. Protect the cable at pass-throughs, avoid tight bends and heat sources, and leave service slack at the devices so the RJ45 connectors are not placed under tension.
Victron RJ45 UTP Cable 5m FAQs
Common questions about part number, length, routing, VE.Bus, VE.Can, VE.Direct, GX devices, batteries, and termination.
What is the Victron ASS030065001 RJ45 cable used for?
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.
How long is a 5-meter Victron cable?
Five meters is approximately 16.4 feet, or 196.9 inches. This long-reach length is useful for routing communication between equipment installed in different RV bays, fifth-wheel compartments, boat machinery spaces, cabins, helms, or remote electrical cabinets.
Can I use a standard 15-foot computer Ethernet cable instead?
A correctly wired, high-quality straight-through RJ45 UTP cable can work where Victron specifies a standard UTP cable. However, crossover cables, damaged patch cords, poor crimps, unknown conductor quality, or the wrong battery-CAN pinout can create communication faults. This genuine Victron cable provides an exact part number, verified length, and factory-assembled straight-through format.
Does this cable connect an Epoch battery directly to a Victron Cerbo GX?
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 wiring diagram before connecting.
Can this cable connect a MultiPlus or Quattro to a Cerbo GX?
Yes, where the equipment manuals call for a standard VE.Bus RJ45 UTP connection. The cable can also link compatible VE.Bus inverter/chargers to one another in properly configured parallel, split-phase, or three-phase systems.
What is the difference between VE.Bus, VE.Can, and VE.Direct?
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. The ports may serve different protocols even when some connectors look similar, so always follow the product manuals.
Is this a straight-through or crossover cable?
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.
Do I need terminators to use this 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, port types, and network topology in your system.
Can I route this 5-meter cable through an RV wall or boat bulkhead?
Yes, provided the cable is protected from sharp edges, crushing, heat sources, water intrusion at penetrations, and high-current conductors where practical. Use grommets or conduit at pass-throughs, preserve the RJ45 locking tabs, and leave enough service slack for maintenance without creating tight bends.
Why do some older Victron references show ASS030065000?
Some older or regional Victron catalog pages list the 5-meter cable as ASS030065000. Epoch and Victron’s current 2026 price list identify the current 5-meter item as ASS030065001. Verify the physical product label when an exact procurement or replacement match is required.
