Victron VE.Direct Right Angle Cable 1.8m - ASS030531218
Victron VE.Direct Right Angle Cable 1.8m - ASS030531218
Low-profile genuine Victron connection
Victron VE.Direct Right Angle Cable 1.8m (6ft) | Part # ASS030531218
A genuine Victron Energy 1.8m VE.Direct cable with one 90-degree connector for clean data routing in shallow RV, marine, and off-grid installations.
The Victron VE.Direct right angle cable is the exact factory accessory for installers who need reliable communication without sacrificing rear-panel clearance. Part ASS030531218 combines one low-profile 90-degree VE.Direct connector with one straight connector and approximately 5.9 feet of routing length, making it ideal for compatible SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPTs, BMV monitors, SmartShunts, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, and GX monitoring devices installed in compact electrical spaces.
Built for low-clearance Victron integration
Solve Tight Clearances & Reduce Cable Strain
A low-profile VE.Direct plug for flush-mounted and compact electrical layouts.
A straight VE.Direct connector projects outward from the equipment and needs enough space for the plug, cable bend, and service loop. In a shallow RV wall cavity, compact marine dashboard, or tightly packed electrical cabinet, that extra depth can force the cable against a panel or create an unnecessarily sharp bend.
The 90-degree end on this flush-mount Victron cable turns the cable path alongside the device, helping reduce the space required behind the mounting panel. It is a cleaner way to protect connector clearance and avoid loading the VE.Direct port when a straight cable would be difficult to route naturally.
90-Degree Low-Profile Connector
One end uses Victron's right-angle VE.Direct plug, designed to minimize depth behind mounting panels. Position it at the compatible device that needs the tightest rear clearance, provided the connector orientation does not block neighboring ports.
1.8 Meters (5.9 Feet) of Routing Slack
The 1.8-meter length provides moderate reach for a GX device, battery monitor, shunt, charger, or solar controller mounted in the same cabinet, adjacent compartment, helm console, or compact solar equipment bay.
Flawless VE.Direct Networking for Supported Devices
Connect compatible Victron components to a central GX monitoring system.
- ✓Connect a supported SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT solar charger to a Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, Color Control GX, or another compatible GX device.
- ✓Route a SmartShunt or compatible BMV battery monitor to a nearby GX hub for centralized battery data and supported VRM monitoring.
- ✓Connect supported Orion XS and Smart IP43 charger products whose manuals specify a direct VE.Direct-to-GX connection.
- ✓Reduce rear-panel depth behind flush-mounted controls, shallow electrical boxes, compact boat helms, and RV cabinetry.
- ✓Replace a damaged or misplaced 1.8-meter right-angle cable with the exact genuine Victron replacement part.
Genuine Victron Quality for Accurate Data Transfer
Correct connector geometry, pinout, and factory termination for the VE.Direct ecosystem.
Proprietary 4-Pin VE.Direct Interface
The cable is made for Victron's four-contact VE.Direct connection, which carries the required data and power conductors between compatible devices.One Angled, One Straight Connector
The right-angle end reduces depth where space is tight, while the straight end provides conventional access at the other device.Factory-Molded Terminations
Genuine connectors remove the pinout uncertainty and intermittent-fault risk associated with improvised splices or unrelated four-pin cords.Mobile-System Friendly Routing
The moderate six-foot class length is practical for compact RV, marine, vehicle, and off-grid electrical compartments when installed with proper support and strain relief.GX Monitoring Integration
Use with supported VE.Direct equipment to bring available operating data into a compatible GX device and, where configured, the VRM portal.Bluetooth Complements the Cable
Local Bluetooth setup remains useful, while the wired VE.Direct connection provides the supported path into a GX monitoring system.Plug-and-Route Installation
Plan the connector direction before the equipment is permanently mounted.

Victron VE.Direct Right Angle Cable 1.8m FAQs
Compatibility, connector orientation, clearance, routing, and GX integration guidance for ASS030531218.
Are both ends of the Victron ASS030531218 cable right-angled?
No. ASS030531218 is the 1.8-meter VE.Direct cable with one 90-degree right-angle connector and one standard straight connector. This gives you a low-profile connection at the device with limited rear clearance while keeping a conventional straight connection at the other end.
Why would I choose a right-angle VE.Direct cable instead of a straight cable?
Victron designed the right-angle VE.Direct cable family to reduce the depth required behind mounting panels. The 90-degree connector helps the cable turn alongside the equipment instead of projecting straight out, which can make flush-mounted RV control panels, marine dashboards, and shallow electrical cabinets easier to wire while reducing forced bends at the port.
What is the Victron ASS030531218 VE.Direct cable used to connect?
It creates a direct data connection between compatible products with VE.Direct ports. Common examples include supported SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT solar chargers, BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, Orion XS units, and Smart IP43 chargers connected to a Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, Color Control GX, or another compatible GX device with an available VE.Direct port.
How long is the Victron VE.Direct Right Angle Cable 1.8m in feet?
The cable is 1.8 meters long, which is approximately 5.91 feet and is commonly described as a 6-foot Victron cable. This moderate length works well between nearby components in an RV electrical cabinet, boat helm, battery compartment, or compact solar installation.
Which Victron products are compatible with this right-angle VE.Direct cable?
Compatibility depends on both devices having supported VE.Direct ports and on the connection method specified in their manuals. Typical examples include many BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, SmartSolar and BlueSolar MPPT solar chargers, Orion XS products, Smart IP43 chargers, and compatible GX devices. Always verify the exact model and port 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 four-pin VE.Direct interface and will not fit VE.Bus, VE.Can, BMS-Can, Ethernet, or VE.Direct-to-USB ports.
Can this 1.8m VE.Direct cable be extended or joined to another cable?
No. 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 in the required length. For routes longer than 10 meters, follow Victron guidance for a VE.Direct-to-USB interface with an appropriate active USB extension.
Which end of the cable should use the 90-degree connector?
Place the right-angle end at the compatible VE.Direct device that needs reduced rear depth, provided the connector orientation does not block adjacent ports or interfere with the enclosure. Confirm the physical layout before securing the equipment, and leave enough service loop so neither connector is pulled or twisted.
Do I need a VE.Direct cable if my SmartSolar or SmartShunt has Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is useful for local setup and monitoring through 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 supported centralized monitoring and VRM integration through the GX device.
Compatibility & Installation Note
Confirm the exact ports, connector direction, and device manuals before connecting.
Not every Victron product uses VE.Direct, and some products with multiple communication interfaces require a specific port or connection method for GX integration. Test-fit the angled end before final panel mounting, keep the factory terminations intact, and route the cable where it will not be pinched, pulled, abraded, exposed to damaging heat, or confused with RJ45 VE.Bus or VE.Can wiring.
