VE.Direct Cable 5m (One Side Right Angle Connector)

The VE.Direct Cable with a 5m length and one right angle connector is a data communication cable for connecting Victron Energy devices that use the VE.Direct interface. It is suited to installations where the connected device is mounted flush against a wall, panel or enclosure, and a straight connector would create excessive strain or prevent a clean cable run.

Key Features

• 5m cable length provides reach for installations where devices are not co-located.
• One right angle connector allows connection to devices mounted close to a surface, reducing cable stress at the port.
• One straight connector on the opposite end for the second device in the communication chain.
• Compatible with all Victron devices that use the VE.Direct communication port, including BMV battery monitors, SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers and Phoenix inverters.
• Carries data only, not power. Used for monitoring, configuration and communication between VE.Direct-equipped devices and interfaces such as the VE.Direct to USB adapter or Raspberry Pi.
• SKU: ASS030531250. GTIN: 8719076019695.

Product Overview

VE.Direct is Victron's proprietary serial communication protocol used across a wide range of their products. This cable provides the physical link between two VE.Direct ports, enabling data exchange for monitoring, programming and integration with systems such as Venus OS or the VictronConnect app via a USB adapter.

The right angle connector on one end is particularly useful when a device is recessed, panel-mounted or positioned with limited clearance behind it. A straight connector in that situation places lateral stress on the port and can cause intermittent connections over time. The right angle design routes the cable away from the device face at 90 degrees, keeping the installation tidy and reducing mechanical load on the connector.

At 5m, this cable suits larger installations where the monitoring device, display or interface adapter is not immediately adjacent to the charge controller or battery monitor. It is long enough to route neatly through a cabinet or across a battery compartment without requiring cable extensions.

Installation Notes

This cable carries data only and does not require any electrical isolation or fusing. Ensure the VE.Direct ports on both devices are free from debris before connecting. Do not force the connectors; they are keyed and should seat firmly without excessive pressure. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management to avoid strain on the ports over time. No specialist electrical qualification is required to connect VE.Direct cables, but any associated inverter, battery or solar PV wiring should be carried out by a qualified installer.
