Victron VE.Direct Right Angle Cable 5m (16ft) | Part # ASS030531250
A genuine Victron Energy 5m VE.Direct cable with one 90-degree connector for clean, long-reach data routing in RV, marine, vehicle, and off-grid installations.
The Victron VE.Direct right angle cable 5m is the exact factory accessory for installers who need both shallow-panel clearance and approximately 16.4 feet of routing reach. Part ASS030531250 combines one low-profile 90-degree VE.Direct connector with one straight connector, helping connect supported SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPTs, BMV monitors, SmartShunts, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, and GX monitoring devices without improvised splices or excessive connector strain.
Dual-feature cable for demanding layouts
Solve Tight Clearances & Prevent Cable Strain
A low-profile VE.Direct plug for flush-mounted panels and shallow electrical spaces.
A standard straight VE.Direct connector projects outward from the equipment and needs room for the plug, cable bend, and service loop. In a shallow RV cabinet, compact marine dashboard, or tightly packed electrical enclosure, that extra depth can force the cable against a wall or create a sharp bend directly at the device port.
Victron's ASS030531xxx right-angle cable family is designed to minimize the depth required behind mounting panels. The 90-degree end on this flush-mount Victron cable turns the cable path alongside the device, helping create a cleaner installation and reducing the need to bend the cable immediately behind the connector.
90-Degree Low-Profile Connector
One end uses Victron's right-angle four-pin VE.Direct plug. Position it at the compatible device with the tightest rear clearance, after confirming that the elbow direction does not block neighboring ports, ventilation paths, or enclosure hardware.
Protect the Port with Natural Routing
The right-angle design can reduce forced bending, but proper installation still matters. Leave a supported service loop, avoid pulling on either connector, and secure the cable so vehicle movement or equipment servicing does not transfer tension to the VE.Direct port.
5 Meters (16.4 Feet) for Long System Routing
Connect supported components across larger RV, marine, and off-grid electrical layouts.
The 5-meter length gives installers meaningful routing flexibility without moving to Victron's maximum 10-meter VE.Direct cable. It can span an RV pass-through compartment, route from a boat helm to a nearby equipment bay, connect across a large electrical backboard, or reach between a battery monitor and a GX device mounted in a different cabinet.
Use the full factory-terminated cable rather than cutting or splicing it. Measure the intended route—including service loops, bulkhead transitions, cable support, and connector access—before ordering. Do not pull the connectors through undersized holes or leave excess cable where it can be pinched or abraded.
Connect Distant Components
A 16-foot-class run is useful when a SmartShunt, BMV monitor, MPPT solar charger, Orion XS, or Smart IP43 charger is separated from the GX device by cabinetry, deck structure, an equipment board, or an adjacent storage compartment.
Within Victron's Published Cable Limit
Five meters is an official Victron VE.Direct cable length and remains below the published 10-meter maximum. VE.Direct cables cannot be extended, so select one continuous cable long enough for the complete routed path.

Genuine Victron Quality for Reliable Data Routing
Factory-made connectors and the correct VE.Direct pinout—without improvised adapters.
Proprietary 4-Pin VE.Direct Interface
The cable is made for Victron's four-contact VE.Direct connection, carrying the required 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.Long-Reach Mobile-System Routing
The 5-meter length is practical for RV, marine, vehicle, and off-grid electrical layouts 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 full 5-meter path before final panel mounting.
- Power down or isolate equipment as required by the applicable Victron installation manuals.
- Confirm that both intended devices have the correct supported VE.Direct ports.
- Test-fit the right-angle connector at the device with the shallowest rear clearance and verify the elbow direction.
- Route the cable away from sharp edges, heat sources, moving hardware, standing water, and high-current conductors where practical.
- Support the cable at intervals and provide a service loop so the device ports do not carry the cable's weight or installation tension.
- Insert each connector fully without forcing it, then restore power and confirm that the connected device appears with expected data in the GX interface.

Victron VE.Direct Right Angle Cable 5m FAQs
Compatibility, connector orientation, clearance, long routing, and GX integration guidance for ASS030531250.
Are both ends of the Victron ASS030531250 cable right-angled?
No. ASS030531250 is the 5-meter VE.Direct cable with one 90-degree right-angle connector and one standard straight connector. Place the angled end at the compatible device that needs the least rear clearance, provided the connector direction does not obstruct nearby ports or the enclosure.
Why would I choose a right-angle VE.Direct cable instead of a straight cable?
Victron designed the ASS030531xxx right-angle cable family to minimize the depth required behind mounting panels. The 90-degree connector turns the cable alongside the equipment instead of projecting straight outward, which can simplify flush-mounted RV control panels, marine dashboards, and shallow electrical cabinets while reducing forced bends at the port.
How long is the Victron VE.Direct Right Angle Cable 5m in feet?
The cable is 5 meters long, which is approximately 16.4 feet. This length is useful when a compatible VE.Direct device and GX monitoring hub are mounted in separate cabinets, across an RV storage bay, or between a boat helm and a nearby electrical compartment.
What is the Victron ASS030531250 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.
Will a 5-meter VE.Direct cable cause signal loss?
Five meters is an official Victron factory cable length and is within Victron's published 10-meter maximum for VE.Direct cabling. Reliable operation still depends on using the correct ports, keeping the factory connectors intact, providing strain relief, and routing the cable away from damage or severe electrical interference. Avoid splices, couplers, and improvised four-pin leads.
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 available 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, RJ12, or USB ports.
Can this 5m 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. Test-fit the cable before final mounting and leave enough service loop so neither connector is pulled, twisted, or sharply bent.
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. Measure the complete routed path, test-fit the angled end before final panel mounting, keep the factory terminations intact, and install the cable where it will not be pinched, pulled, abraded, exposed to damaging heat, or confused with RJ45 VE.Bus or VE.Can wiring.
