Victron VE.Direct Cable 3m - ASS030530230
Victron VE.Direct Cable 3m - ASS030530230
Genuine Victron system cable
Victron Energy VE.Direct Cable 3m (10ft) | Part # ASS030530230
A genuine 3-meter VE.Direct data cable for clean, direct communication between compatible Victron components and GX monitoring devices.
The Victron VE.Direct Cable 3m is the factory-made connection for installers who need approximately 10 feet of routing between a compatible SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT, BMV battery monitor, SmartShunt, Orion XS, Smart IP43 charger, or other supported VE.Direct device and a Victron GX monitoring system. Its proprietary four-pin interface carries device data directly to compatible GX hardware for centralized system visibility without confusing it with VE.Bus or VE.Can RJ45 cabling.
Built for clean Victron integration
Flawless networking for compatible Victron components
Bring solar, battery, and charging data into one GX system.
A connected Victron system is most useful when each supported component can report its operating data to the central GX device. The ASS030530230 cable creates the direct VE.Direct link needed for compatible equipment, allowing the GX interface to receive available device information for local monitoring and supported remote visibility through the Victron Remote Management platform.
The 3-meter length provides practical routing room without forcing installers to hide a large coil of unused cable. It is well suited to RV electrical bays, marine power compartments, solar backboards, utility cabinets, and other installations where the monitored device and GX hub are mounted several feet apart.
Common VE.Direct applications
Use only with products that have compatible VE.Direct ports.

Victron VE.Direct Cable 3m FAQs
Compatibility, routing, monitoring, and connection guidance for ASS030530230.
What is the Victron ASS030530230 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 compatible 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.
Which Victron products can use this 3-meter VE.Direct cable?
It can be used with compatible Victron products that have matching VE.Direct ports. Examples include many BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, MPPT solar chargers, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, and selected VE.Direct-equipped devices. Always confirm the ports and connection method in the manual 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 4-pin VE.Direct connection and will not fit a VE.Bus or VE.Can RJ45 port.
How long is the Victron VE.Direct Cable 3m in feet?
Three meters is approximately 9.84 feet, commonly rounded to 10 feet. This length works well for routing between devices mounted across an RV electrical bay, boat compartment, solar backboard, or nearby equipment enclosure.
Can two VE.Direct cables be joined together to make a longer cable?
No. Victron specifies a maximum VE.Direct cable length of 10 meters and states that VE.Direct cables cannot be extended. Choose one continuous factory-made cable in the required length. For longer distances, follow Victron guidance for a VE.Direct-to-USB interface with a suitable active USB extension.
Do I need a VE.Direct 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 to a GX device. Use this cable when you want the compatible device to report into a Cerbo GX or another GX system for centralized monitoring and supported VRM access.
Is ASS030530230 the straight or right-angle version?
ASS030530230 is the 3-meter straight-connector VE.Direct cable. Victron sells 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 VE.Direct cable?
Keeping the factory-terminated cable intact is the safest approach. VE.Direct uses a specific four-pin transmit, receive, power, and ground arrangement; an incorrect splice or pinout can prevent communication or create difficult-to-diagnose system faults. Select the closest factory cable length and route the excess neatly.
Compatibility and installation note
Confirm the exact ports and device manuals before connecting.
Not every Victron product uses VE.Direct, and some products with multiple communication interfaces require a specific port for GX integration. Verify the connection method for both devices, keep the factory terminations intact, and route the cable where it will not be pinched, pulled, exposed to damaging heat, or confused with RJ45 VE.Bus/VE.Can wiring.
