Victron VE.Direct Cable 3m Right Angle - ASS030531230
Victron VE.Direct Cable 3m Right Angle - ASS030531230
Genuine Victron right-angle data cable
Victron VE.Direct Cable 3m (10ft) | Right Angle (ASS030531230)
A space-saving 90-degree VE.Direct cable with mid-range reach for shallow RV walls, marine consoles, and separated Victron components.
The Victron VE.Direct cable 3m right angle is a genuine Victron Energy data cable for installers who need both approximately 10 feet of routing reach and a low-profile connection. Part ASS030531230 combines one right-angle VE.Direct connector with one straight connector, helping link supported SmartShunts, BMV monitors, MPPT controllers, chargers, inverters, and GX devices without crushing a straight cable behind a shallow panel.
Built for clean Victron installations
The Perfect Solution for Tight Clearances
Reduce connector depth and mechanical stress when a straight cable would project too far from the device.
Shallow RV walls, marine consoles, battery cabinets, and compact electrical boards can force a straight data cable into a sharp bend. The right-angle end routes the cable close to the device surface, reducing required rear clearance and helping protect the cable and VE.Direct port from constant pressure.
Space-Saving 90-Degree Connector
One end uses Victron’s low-profile right-angle VE.Direct connector. Place it at the device with the tightest clearance and route the wire along a protected surface rather than forcing a straight connector against a panel.
Protects Delicate Data Ports
Reducing sharp bends and side-load can lower mechanical stress on the molded connector and device port. Add strain relief and test the connector orientation before permanently mounting the Cerbo GX, MPPT, SmartShunt, or other component.
Mid-Range System Networking with 3 Meters of Reach
Approximately 9.84 feet for devices mounted in nearby but separate compartments.
The 3-meter length bridges common RV and marine layouts without the excess of a very long cable. Route from a SmartShunt or MPPT in an exterior storage bay to a GX device on an interior wall, or from a battery compartment to a nearby helm or electrical cabinet.
Compatible VE.Direct applications
Confirm a VE.Direct port on both devices before ordering.
- ✓ SmartShunt or BMV battery-monitor links to a Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or another compatible GX device.
- ✓ Compatible BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT controllers with VE.Direct ports.
- ✓ Supported Orion XS and Smart IP43 charger connections to a compatible GX device.
- ✓ Certain Phoenix and other supported VE.Direct inverter connections where the product manual calls for VE.Direct.
- ✓ RV installations that route data from a battery bay to a nearby interior electrical panel.
- ✓ Marine installations between an equipment locker, battery compartment, and nearby helm or monitoring panel.
- ✓ Shallow-wall and flush-mounted GX installations that need a low-profile cable exit.
- ✓ Professional electrical boards where a straight plug would be stressed by a cover, cabinet wall, or enclosure door.
Genuine Victron Reliability
Exact part-number matching and factory termination for professional installations.
Clean installation guidance
Test the right-angle connector orientation before mounting your equipment.
- ✓ Place the right-angle end at the device with the tightest rear or side clearance.
- ✓ Confirm the molded cable-exit direction does not interfere with adjacent ports, mounting hardware, or enclosure covers.
- ✓ Maintain a gentle bend radius and add strain relief near both connected devices.
- ✓ Route the data cable away from sharp edges, moving parts, standing water, and high-temperature surfaces.
- ✓ Separate communication wiring from high-current DC and AC cables where practical, especially across the 3-meter route.
- ✓ Do not cut, splice, or daisy-chain VE.Direct extension cables.

Check the port before you order
VE.Direct, VE.Bus, VE.Can, RJ12, and USB interfaces are different cable families.
Match the cable to the labels and connector shape on both devices. A physically similar communication cable may use a different connector, pinout, or protocol. Review both product manuals when designing a Victron or Epoch-integrated system.
Victron VE.Direct 3m Right-Angle Cable FAQs
Common questions about connector orientation, compatibility, length, and mid-range routing.
Are both ends of this cable right-angled?
No. Victron part ASS030531230 has one standard straight VE.Direct connector and one right-angle connector. Use the angled end at the device with the tightest rear or side clearance.
Does it matter which end plugs into the Cerbo GX, SmartShunt, or MPPT?
Victron does not identify this cable as directional. In normal point-to-point VE.Direct use, orient the right-angle end where clearance is tightest and the straight end where more space is available. Confirm the molded exit direction before permanently mounting the device.
How long is 3 meters in feet?
Three meters is approximately 9.84 feet, commonly described as a 10-foot cable. It is a useful mid-range length for connecting devices located in nearby but separate compartments.
Will the right-angle connector block the port next to it on my Cerbo GX?
The right-angle design minimizes required depth behind mounting panels, but Victron does not guarantee adjacent-port clearance on every product or mounting orientation. Test-fit the connector and verify neighboring USB, VE.Direct, HDMI, and power-port access before final installation.
What is the difference between VE.Direct and VE.Bus or VE.Can?
VE.Direct uses Victron’s smaller four-pin data connection for supported battery monitors, MPPT solar chargers, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, and certain VE.Direct inverters. VE.Bus and VE.Can use RJ45-style network cables for different product families, including MultiPlus or Quattro systems and CAN networks. These cable families are not interchangeable.
Can I use this cable to connect an Epoch battery directly to a Cerbo GX?
No, not as a universal battery communication cable. Epoch batteries with native Victron or CANbus communication normally require the battery model’s specified CAN-BMS cable or harness connected to a VE.Can or BMS-Can port. This product is for devices that actually provide VE.Direct ports.
Which Victron products can use this cable?
It can connect compatible devices that have VE.Direct ports. Common examples include supported BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, BlueSolar or SmartSolar MPPT controllers, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, certain VE.Direct inverters, and compatible GX devices. Verify both product manuals before ordering.
Is a 3-meter VE.Direct cable within Victron’s supported length?
Yes. Victron states that direct VE.Direct cable runs can be up to 10 meters. This 3-meter cable is within that supported limit when installed as a single factory cable between compatible devices.
Can I cut, splice, or extend this cable?
Victron states that VE.Direct cables cannot be extended. Do not cut or splice this cable. Select a longer factory-made VE.Direct cable, up to the supported 10-meter maximum, or use a VE.Direct-to-USB interface with an appropriate active USB extension for longer routes.
Is this cable covered by a warranty?
Victron currently provides a standard five-year warranty on its power-product range, subject to its warranty terms and original-dealer support process. Keep your proof of purchase and contact the selling dealer for warranty assistance.
