Description
xVE.Direct TX Digital Output Cable
The VE.Direct TX digital output cable connects to the TX pin of a VE.Direct port on compatible Victron devices, converting it into a programmable digital output. It is used by installers who need to trigger external loads, relays or lighting controllers directly from a Victron MPPT solar charger or other VE.Direct-equipped device.
Key Features
- Accesses the TX pin of the VE.Direct interface to provide a programmable digital output signal.
- Compatible with Victron MPPT solar chargers and other devices that expose a configurable TX pin via VE.Direct.
- Allows the TX pin to be configured for functions such as load output control or streetlight dimming pulses, depending on the connected device's firmware.
- Lightweight and compact at 0.04 kg, suitable for tight enclosure installations.
- SKU: ASS030550500. GTIN: 8719076019855.
Product Overview
The VE.Direct port on Victron MPPT chargers and similar devices includes a TX pin that can be configured in software to output a digital signal. Without this cable, that pin is inaccessible for external wiring. This cable provides a terminated, ready-to-connect lead from that TX pin, making it straightforward to wire the output to a relay, LED driver or other low-voltage control circuit.
Configuration of the TX pin function is handled through the VictronConnect app or MPPT firmware settings. Common uses include a 0 to 100% PWM dimming signal for streetlight control, or a simple on/off output tied to the charger's load output state. The cable itself is passive; the behaviour depends entirely on how the TX pin is configured on the source device.

Installation Notes
This cable connects to the VE.Direct port of a compatible Victron device. Ensure the TX pin function is correctly configured in VictronConnect or the device's settings before connecting any external load or relay. The digital output signal is low voltage; however, any wiring into a live off-grid or solar system should be carried out by a qualified installer. Do not exceed the signal voltage or current ratings specified for the TX pin of the connected device.
