Victron VE.Direct Cable 10m - ASS030530310
Victron VE.Direct Cable 10m - ASS030530310
Maximum-length VE.Direct connection
Victron Energy VE.Direct Cable 10m (32.8ft) | Part # ASS030530310
A genuine 10-meter VE.Direct data cable for long-reach communication between supported Victron components and GX monitoring devices.
The Victron VE.Direct Cable 10m is the official factory-terminated connection for large RV, marine, vehicle, and off-grid systems that place solar chargers, battery monitors, shunts, DC-DC chargers, or other supported VE.Direct equipment far from the central GX hub. At approximately 32.81 feet, ASS030530310 reaches across multiple compartments while preserving the correct proprietary VE.Direct connection and avoiding unapproved splices or couplers.
Built for long-reach Victron integration
Long-distance networking for compatible Victron components
Bring distant solar, charging, and battery data into one GX system.
Large electrical systems often place the battery monitor or SmartShunt low in a storage bay, the MPPT or DC-DC charger in a protected equipment compartment, and the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX near the main control panel. This 10-meter Victron Energy VE.Direct cable creates one continuous data route between supported devices so available operating information can reach the GX interface for centralized monitoring.
Ten meters is the maximum VE.Direct cable length specified by Victron. The cable cannot be extended, so careful route planning is essential. When a project requires more than 10 meters, use the longer-distance connection method identified by Victron rather than joining, splicing, or coupling VE.Direct cables.
Long-reach VE.Direct applications
Use only with products whose manuals support the intended VE.Direct connection.
- ✓Connect a compatible SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT solar charger in a remote electrical compartment to a Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or other supported GX device.
- ✓Route a SmartShunt or compatible BMV battery monitor from a battery bay to a GX hub mounted in a cabin, helm, control panel, or equipment room.
- ✓Connect supported Orion XS and Smart IP43 charger products that use VE.Direct communication.
- ✓Span large motorhomes, fifth-wheels, work vehicles, catamarans, larger boats, and off-grid buildings where components occupy separate compartments.
- ✓Replace a damaged or misplaced 10-meter straight VE.Direct cable with the exact Victron part number ASS030530310.
Genuine Victron connection features
Exact interface, correct length, and a clean factory-terminated installation.
Compatible device categories
Compatibility depends on the exact model, available port, firmware, and manual instructions.
Long-run installation guidance
Protect the factory cable and verify the completed connection.
- ✓Confirm both ports. Verify that the source device and GX device support the intended direct VE.Direct connection.
- ✓Plan the full route. Measure around walls, bulkheads, service loops, and protected cable paths before fastening equipment.
- ✓Protect the cable. Use suitable grommets or conduit at sharp openings and keep the cable away from damaging heat, moving parts, and pinch points.
- ✓Reduce interference risk. Where practical, avoid long parallel contact with high-current DC conductors and 120/230V AC wiring; cross power cables at approximately 90 degrees when needed.
- ✓Keep factory ends intact. Do not cut, splice, couple, or extend the cable.
- ✓Verify communication. After power-up, confirm that the connected device appears correctly in the GX interface and reports expected data.

Victron VE.Direct Cable 10m FAQs
Compatibility, maximum length, routing, and GX connection guidance for ASS030530310.
What is the Victron ASS030530310 VE.Direct cable used for?
This genuine Victron Energy cable creates a direct data connection between compatible products with VE.Direct ports. Common uses include connecting a supported SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT solar charger, BMV battery monitor, SmartShunt, Orion XS, or Smart IP43 charger to a Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or another compatible GX device for centralized monitoring.
How long is the Victron VE.Direct Cable 10m in feet?
Ten meters is approximately 32.81 feet, commonly rounded to 32.8 feet or 33 feet. This is the longest standard straight VE.Direct cable listed by Victron and is intended for large RV, marine, vehicle, and off-grid installations where the monitored device and GX hub are in different compartments.
Is 10 meters the maximum VE.Direct cable length?
Yes. 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. For a route longer than 10 meters, follow Victron guidance for a VE.Direct-to-USB interface with a suitable active USB extension cable.
Will I lose data over the full 10-meter run?
The 10-meter cable is an official Victron length intended for supported VE.Direct connections. Reliable operation still depends on correct ports, intact factory terminations, secure connections, and sensible routing that avoids pinching, heat, sharp bends, and long parallel runs beside high-interference power wiring.
Which Victron products can use this 10-meter VE.Direct cable?
It can be used with compatible products that have supported VE.Direct ports. Examples include many BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, SmartSolar and BlueSolar MPPT solar chargers, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, and selected VE.Direct-equipped devices. Confirm the connection method in the manuals for both devices before ordering.
Can I use this cable to connect a MultiPlus or Quattro to a Cerbo GX?
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 VE.Direct connection and will not fit a VE.Bus or VE.Can RJ45 port.
Can I connect two VE.Direct cables together to reach farther than 10 meters?
No. Victron states that VE.Direct cables cannot be extended, and 10 meters is the specified maximum length. Do not join two cables, add an unapproved coupler, or splice the cable. Use the recommended VE.Direct-to-USB and active USB-extension method when a longer route is required.
Do I need this cable if my SmartSolar or SmartShunt has Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is useful for local setup and monitoring with 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 centralized GX monitoring and supported VRM access.
Is ASS030530310 the straight or right-angle version?
ASS030530310 is the 10-meter straight-connector VE.Direct cable. Victron also offers separate right-angle versions under different part numbers for installations that need reduced connector depth behind a panel or enclosure.
Can I cut, splice, or re-terminate this 10-meter cable?
Keeping the factory-terminated cable intact is the safest approach. VE.Direct uses a specific four-contact data and power arrangement, and an incorrect splice or termination can prevent communication or create difficult-to-diagnose system faults. Select the closest factory cable length and route any small amount of excess neatly.
Compatibility and installation note
Confirm the exact ports, firmware requirements, and device manuals before connecting.
Not every Victron product uses VE.Direct, and some products with multiple communication interfaces require another port for GX integration. Keep the factory terminations intact, do not extend the cable, and route it where it will not be pinched, pulled, overheated, abraded, or mistaken for RJ45 VE.Bus or VE.Can wiring.
