Description
xVictron VE.Direct Cable 3m
The Victron VE.Direct Cable is a dedicated data communication cable for connecting Victron devices that use the VE.Direct interface. At 3 metres in length, it suits installations where the connected devices are not in immediate proximity. It is used by solar installers, off-grid system builders and anyone integrating Victron monitoring or control equipment.
Key Features
- 3 metre cable length, providing flexibility in panel, inverter and battery monitor placement.
- Designed specifically for the Victron VE.Direct communication protocol.
- Compatible with VE.Direct-equipped devices including BMV battery monitors, SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers, Phoenix inverters and more.
- Lightweight at 0.115 kg, adding minimal bulk to an installation.
- Genuine Victron Energy accessory, ensuring reliable data transmission between supported devices.
Product Overview
VE.Direct is Victron's proprietary serial communication interface used across a wide range of their products. The cable carries data between devices such as MPPT charge controllers and a Colour Control GX, GlobalLink 520, or a computer running VictronConnect. Without a correctly rated and properly terminated cable, communication between devices will not function as intended.
The 3m length is the most commonly specified option for installations where the monitoring unit or GX device is mounted at a short distance from the charge controller or battery monitor. It is long enough to route neatly through an enclosure or along a wall without excess slack. For installations requiring shorter or longer runs, other lengths are available in the VE.Direct cable range.

Installation Notes
Plug the cable directly into the VE.Direct ports on compatible Victron devices. No tools are required. Ensure both devices are powered down before connecting or disconnecting the cable where possible. This cable carries data only and does not supply power to connected devices. If you are integrating this cable as part of a wider solar PV or battery system, installation of the broader system should be carried out by a qualified electrician or MCS-accredited installer.
