It is used by installers and system integrators who need to pass data between Victron components across longer cable runs within a system enclosure or installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5-metre cable length, suitable for installations where components are not in close proximity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUses the VE.Direct proprietary serial communication protocol for reliable data transfer between Victron devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with a wide range of Victron products including MPPT solar charge controllers, BMV battery monitors, Phoenix inverters, and SmartSolar chargers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTerminated with VE.Direct connectors at both ends, ready to use without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ASS030530250 | GTIN: 8719076019633 | Weight: 0.185 kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eProduct Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVE.Direct is Victron's point-to-point serial communication interface. It carries both data and, on some devices, a small supply voltage. The protocol is used to transmit real-time operating data including state of charge, voltage, current, and fault codes between devices. This makes it the standard wiring method for connecting BMV monitors, MPPT controllers, and Phoenix inverters to a GX device or a laptop running VictronConnect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5m length is the longest standard VE.Direct cable in the Victron range. It is appropriate where the charge controller, battery monitor, or inverter is mounted at a distance from the GX device or monitoring panel. Using the correct cable length avoids unnecessary coiling and keeps installations tidy without requiring custom cable fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCable length: 5 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnector type: VE.Direct (both ends)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ASS030530250\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076019633\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.185 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnecting an MPPT solar charge controller to a Cerbo GX or Color Control GX in a system where components are mounted apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLinking a BMV battery monitor to a GX device for system-wide state-of-charge monitoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnecting a Phoenix inverter to a monitoring or control interface via VE.Direct.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eData logging and configuration via a VE.Direct to USB adapter connected to a laptop or Raspberry Pi running Venus OS.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid, marine, and vehicle installations where panel-mounted GX devices are located away from battery or charge controller compartments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x Victron VE.Direct Cable, 5m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure both devices are powered down before connecting or disconnecting VE.Direct cables. The VE.Direct port is not designed for hot-swapping under load. Route cables away from high-current DC wiring to avoid interference. Each VE.Direct port supports only one connection at a time; if multiple devices need to connect to a single GX unit, each requires its own dedicated port or a VE.Direct to USB adapter per device.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59855400698190,"sku":"ASS030530250","price":10.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3698\/8238\/files\/VoltaconSolar_-_ASS030530250_-_VE.Direct_Cable_5m.webp?v=1781094423","url":"https:\/\/voltaconsolar.com\/products\/victron-ve-direct-cable-5m","provider":"VoltaconSolar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
