The Backbone of Victron Solar & Battery Monitoring

Carry battery, solar, charger, and inverter data to your GX system through the correct VE.Direct connection.

A connected Victron system depends on clean communication between each VE.Direct product and the central GX device. This genuine cable provides the exact factory-made link for supported devices, helping your Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or other compatible GX equipment receive the information used for monitoring, logging, and VRM visibility.

VE.Direct is its own four-pin communication standard. It is different from VE.Bus and VE.Can, which normally use RJ45 connectors, and it is not the direct CAN-BMS cable used by managed lithium batteries.

Seamless Component Networking

Connect compatible BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, MPPT solar chargers, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, and supported VE.Direct inverters directly to an available VE.Direct port on a GX device. Always verify that both products have a VE.Direct port before ordering.

0.9m (3ft) Length for Clean Electrical Boards

The 0.9-meter length is designed for components mounted on the same electrical backboard or inside one compact battery bay. It provides enough reach for neat routing without leaving large loops of unused data cable behind the equipment.

Genuine Victron Reliability

Factory-made four-core data cable with exact part-number verification.

Secure Four-Pin VE.Direct Connection Matching straight connectors provide the dedicated connection used by supported VE.Direct products. This is not an RJ45 Ethernet-style cable and cannot be substituted with a telephone or network cord.

Factory-Assembled Cable Using the genuine ASS030530209 avoids unknown conductor arrangements, questionable field crimps, and spliced extensions that can complicate troubleshooting.

Short-Run Cable Management The 3-foot length keeps compact RV, marine, and solar electrical boards easier to document, inspect, and service.

Choose the correct Victron communication cable

Similar-looking system connections can use completely different protocols.

VE.Direct Small four-pin connector for supported SmartShunts, BMV monitors, MPPTs, chargers, and VE.Direct inverters. This product is a VE.Direct cable.

VE.Bus RJ45 communication used by products such as MultiPlus and Quattro inverter/chargers. Requires a straight-through RJ45 UTP cable—not this cable.

VE.Can / BMS-Can RJ45 CAN-network communication used by compatible CAN devices and managed batteries. Battery connections may require a special Type A, Type B, or manufacturer-specific BMS cable.

VE.Direct to USB A separate interface used when a VE.Direct product must connect through USB to a computer or USB host. This standard cable does not convert VE.Direct to USB.

Installation and routing guidance

Protect the connectors and select the correct factory cable length.

✓ Confirm both devices have compatible VE.Direct ports before installation.
✓ Route the cable away from sharp edges, moving parts, and avoidable heat sources.
✓ Do not pull the cable by the connector body or force a keyed plug into a misaligned port.
✓ Provide strain relief and leave enough service slack to unplug the device without stressing the cable.
✓ Use a longer factory-made VE.Direct cable instead of splicing or daisy-chaining extensions.

Complete your Victron communication setup

Select the connection type and cable length required by the actual ports in your system.

Longer VE.Direct cables Choose 1.8 m, 3 m, 5 m, or 10 m factory-made lengths when the device and GX unit are mounted farther apart.

Right-angle VE.Direct cables ASS030531xxx versions reduce the depth required behind panels and closely mounted equipment.

VE.Direct to USB interface Use the correct USB interface when a product must connect to a computer or when a GX installation requires an additional USB-host connection.

RJ45 Victron cables Use straight-through RJ45 UTP cables for supported VE.Bus and standard VE.Can links—not for VE.Direct ports.

Frequently asked questions

Victron VE.Direct Cable 0.9m FAQs

Common questions about VE.Direct compatibility, cable length, GX connections, battery communication, and installation.

What is the difference between VE.Direct and VE.Bus or VE.Can?

VE.Direct uses a small four-pin connector for compatible battery monitors, SmartShunts, MPPT solar chargers, chargers, and supported inverters. VE.Bus and VE.Can normally use wider RJ45 connectors. MultiPlus and Quattro inverter/chargers use VE.Bus, while managed batteries and CAN-network equipment use VE.Can or BMS-Can. The cable types are not interchangeable.

Can I use this VE.Direct cable to connect an Epoch battery to a Cerbo GX?

No. Epoch batteries with native Victron communication use CAN-bus communication, not VE.Direct. The final battery-to-GX connection may require an Epoch-specific harness or a Victron Type A or Type B CAN-bus BMS cable, depending on the battery model and pinout. Follow the battery manual.

Is 0.9 meters long enough for my setup?

0.9 meters is approximately 2.95 feet. It is intended for short runs where the VE.Direct product and GX device are mounted on the same electrical backboard or inside the same compact battery compartment. Longer factory-made VE.Direct cables are available for devices mounted farther apart.

Does it matter which end of the cable goes into each device?

The standard straight cable has matching VE.Direct connectors on both ends and is not sold with a designated source or destination end. Align each keyed connector with the compatible VE.Direct port and insert it without forcing the plug.

Can I splice this cable to make it longer?

Splicing or extending VE.Direct cables is not recommended. Use the correct factory-made length instead. Victron offers straight VE.Direct cables in several lengths up to 10 meters, and a VE.Direct-to-USB interface can be used where the GX installation requires additional USB-based routing.

Can I connect a SmartShunt to a Cerbo GX with this cable?

Yes, provided the SmartShunt and Cerbo GX are within the 0.9-meter cable reach and an available VE.Direct port is present. Once connected, the GX device can display the battery parameters measured by the SmartShunt.

Can I connect an MPPT solar charge controller to a GX device?

Yes, when the specific MPPT has a compatible VE.Direct port and the GX device has an available VE.Direct connection. Check the MPPT manual because some Victron products use VE.Can, and certain RS models have special connection requirements.

Can I use this cable for a MultiPlus or Quattro?

No. MultiPlus and Quattro inverter/chargers communicate through VE.Bus and normally require a straight-through RJ45 UTP cable for their VE.Bus connection. This four-pin VE.Direct cable will not fit the VE.Bus RJ45 ports.

Is this a charging or battery-power cable?

No. This is a low-voltage data and communication cable. It is not designed to carry battery current, inverter output, solar-array current, or charger current.

What warranty applies to this cable?

Victron currently provides a standard five-year warranty program for its power-product range and accessories. Warranty handling normally goes through the original dealer, so retain the purchase record and exact part number.
