{"product_id":"victron-ve-direct-cable","title":"Victron VE.Direct Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Victron VE.Direct Cable is the standard data communication cable used to connect Victron products equipped with a VE.Direct port to GX monitoring devices, displays, and other compatible Victron equipment. Enabling reliable one-to-one wired communication between devices, it is an essential accessory for integrating VE.Direct-equipped products — including MPPT solar charge controllers, SmartShunts, BMV battery monitors, Phoenix inverters, and chargers — into a centralised Victron monitoring system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen connected between a VE.Direct device and a GX device such as the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX, the cable allows real-time data from each connected product — including battery state of charge, voltage, current, solar yield, charge status, and fault conditions — to be displayed locally on the GX device and logged remotely via the Victron Remote Management (VRM) portal. This makes the VE.Direct cable the primary wired interface for system integration in installations where Bluetooth connectivity is not used or available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in six lengths — 0.3m, 0.9m, 1.8m, 3m, 5m, and 10m — and in two connector configurations — straight (both ends) and 90-degree right-angle (one end) — the VE.Direct cable suits a wide range of installation layouts. The straight connector is suited to most open-panel installations, while the right-angle connector is designed for use where the VE.Direct port faces a wall, adjacent device, or enclosure panel and a straight plug would create a tight cable bend or prevent enclosure closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA simple plug-and-play cable requiring no configuration, the Victron VE.Direct Cable is an indispensable connection accessory for any Victron system that includes VE.Direct-equipped devices and a GX monitoring hub.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConnects VE.Direct Devices to GX Monitoring Hubs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvides the standard wired data link between any Victron product with a VE.Direct port and a GX device such as the Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or Color Control GX — enabling centralised monitoring, control, and VRM remote access for all connected VE.Direct devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatible with a Wide Range of Victron Products\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with all Victron products featuring a VE.Direct port, including SmartSolar and BlueSolar MPPT charge controllers, SmartShunt and BMV battery monitors, Phoenix inverters and chargers, GlobalLink 520, MPPT Control displays, and many other VE.Direct-equipped devices in the Victron product range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAvailable in Six Lengths — 0.3m to 10m\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 0.3m, 0.9m, 1.8m, 3m, 5m, and 10m lengths to suit installations of any size — from compact panel installations where devices are mounted close together, to large battery rooms or engine bays where a longer run is required between devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStraight and 90-Degree Right-Angle Connector Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable with straight plugs on both ends for standard installations, or with a 90-degree right-angle connector on one end for installations where the VE.Direct port is parallel to a wall, panel surface, or adjacent enclosure — preventing tight cable bends and allowing enclosure lids to close fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEnables VRM Remote Monitoring Without Bluetooth\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy connecting a VE.Direct device to a GX device via the VE.Direct cable, all device data becomes available through the Victron VRM portal for remote monitoring and logging — providing full system visibility over the internet without relying on Bluetooth connectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eEnables Non-Smart Victron Devices to Participate in System Monitoring\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVictron products without built-in Bluetooth — such as BlueSolar MPPT charge controllers and older Phoenix inverters — can be integrated into a GX-based monitoring system using the VE.Direct cable, enabling full performance data to be captured and displayed alongside smart products without upgrading to a newer device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePlug-and-Play — No Configuration Required\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VE.Direct cable requires no configuration, pairing, or software setup. Simply connect one end to the VE.Direct port on the Victron device and the other end to a VE.Direct port on the GX device — the GX automatically recognises the connected device and begins displaying its data immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVE.Direct (proprietary Victron 4-pin connector)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector Configuration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight (both ends) or 90-degree right-angle (one end)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvailable Lengths\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.3m \/ 0.9m \/ 1.8m \/ 3m \/ 5m \/ 10m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommunication Protocol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVE.Direct (serial, one-to-one)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Devices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll Victron products with a VE.Direct port\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible GX Devices\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCerbo GX, Ekrano GX, Color Control GX, Venus GX, GlobalLink 520\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDatasheets and Manuals\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/upload\/documents\/VE.Direct-Protocol-3.34.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVE.Direct Protocol Documentation\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"0.3M","offer_id":47125597421817,"sku":"IVV80002","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.3M Right Angle","offer_id":47125597454585,"sku":"IVV80028","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.9m","offer_id":47125597487353,"sku":"IVV80003","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.9M Right Angle","offer_id":47125597520121,"sku":"IVV80030","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.8m","offer_id":47125597552889,"sku":"IVV800031","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.8M Right Angle","offer_id":47125597585657,"sku":"IVV80033","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3M","offer_id":47125597618425,"sku":"IVV80005","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3M Right Angle","offer_id":47125597651193,"sku":"IVV80035","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5m","offer_id":47125597683961,"sku":"IVV80006","price":22.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5M Right Angle","offer_id":47125597716729,"sku":"IVV80040","price":22.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10M","offer_id":47125597749497,"sku":"IVV80004","price":26.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10M Right Angle","offer_id":47125597782265,"sku":"IVV80045","price":26.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8538\/1625\/files\/Product-IVV80028-1.webp?v=1779012390","url":"https:\/\/emarineinc.com\/products\/victron-ve-direct-cable","provider":"eMarine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
