This interface cable bridges that protocol to USB-C, allowing technicians to connect directly to a VE.Direct-equipped device from a modern laptop or tablet without needing a USB-A adapter in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is used in conjunction with the free VictronConnect application, which runs on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. Through VictronConnect, users can read live data, adjust settings and push firmware updates to the connected device. This makes the interface particularly useful during commissioning, routine maintenance or fault diagnosis on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth distinguishing this cable from the VE.Direct to USB-A variant. If your device has only USB-C ports, this is the correct interface to use. No drivers are required on most operating systems, though checking VictronConnect's compatibility list for your specific OS version is advisable before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSKU: ASS030530030\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGTIN: 8719076058007\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 0.06 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnector A: VE.Direct (proprietary Victron serial)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnector B: USB-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfiguring Victron MPPT solar charge controllers on site using a USB-C laptop or tablet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReading and logging data from BMV battery monitors during commissioning or fault-finding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUpdating firmware on VE.Direct-compatible Victron devices in the field.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMonitoring Phoenix inverter status and adjusting settings via VictronConnect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-grid and mobile installation work where a compact, lightweight interface is required.\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 VE.Direct to USB-C interface cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #f87c24;\"\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis interface is a data cable only and does not carry charge current or control power circuits.
