Description
xVE.Direct Cable 3m (One Side Right Angle Connector)
The VE.Direct Cable with a right angle connector on one side is a 3-metre data cable for connecting Victron Energy devices that use the VE.Direct communication port. It is designed for installations where a straight connector would create an awkward bend or put strain on the port, making it a practical choice for panel-mounted or recessed equipment.
Key Features
- 3-metre cable length provides flexibility in routing between devices and monitoring equipment.
- One right angle connector reduces mechanical stress on the VE.Direct port in tight or recessed installations.
- Compatible with all Victron devices featuring a VE.Direct port, including BMV battery monitors, SmartSolar MPPT controllers, and Phoenix inverters.
- Carries serial communication data between VE.Direct-equipped devices and interfaces such as the Color Control GX, GlobalLink 520, or a PC via USB adaptor.
- Lightweight at 0.105 kg, with a low-profile right angle connector suited to enclosure or cabinet installations.
Product Overview
VE.Direct is Victron's proprietary serial communication protocol used across a wide range of their product line. This cable carries data between a VE.Direct-equipped device and a GX device, a VE.Direct to USB interface, a VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle, or similar accessories. It does not carry power to the connected devices; it is a data-only cable.
The right angle connector on one end is particularly useful where the VE.Direct port faces a wall, panel surface, or enclosure side, and a straight plug would either not fit or would apply lateral force to the connector over time. The straight connector on the opposite end connects to the monitoring or interface device in the normal orientation. At 3 metres, the cable gives sufficient reach for most cabinet and wall-mounted system layouts without excess slack.

Installation Notes
Ensure the VE.Direct ports on both devices are unpowered or in a safe state before connecting. The VE.Direct connector is keyed and should seat firmly without force. Do not use this cable for power delivery. For system commissioning involving grid-tied inverters or high-voltage battery systems, installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer.
