At 0.3m it is the shortest cable in the range, intended for devices mounted side by side in the same panel or enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e, 0.3m, for short-distance connections between closely mounted devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtocol\u003c\/strong\u003e, uses the VE.Direct communication interface found on BMV battery monitors, MPPT charge controllers and Phoenix inverters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle cable\u003c\/strong\u003e, carries both data and power, so no extra wiring is needed for communication.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e, 15g (0.015kg), adding almost nothing to an installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors\u003c\/strong\u003e, standard VE.Direct connector fitted at both ends with a positive-locking fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVE.Direct is Victron Energy's own point-to-point communication interface, used to pass data between devices such as MPPT charge controllers, BMV battery monitors and VE.Direct to USB or Bluetooth Smart Dongle accessories. Because it is point-to-point, each cable links exactly one device to one other device or accessory. If several VE.Direct devices need to reach a single monitoring point, such as a Cerbo GX, each one needs its own cable. The 0.3m length suits cabinets, enclosures or DIN rail layouts where two devices sit right next to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting an MPPT solar charge controller to a VE.Direct to USB interface or Bluetooth Smart Dongle mounted alongside it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinking a BMV battery monitor to a Cerbo GX or other GX device in the same enclosure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort data runs in compact off-grid systems, campervan builds and marine electrical panels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting a Phoenix inverter to a VE.Direct monitoring accessory where space is tight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1 x Victron VE.Direct Cable, 0.3m\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable carries low-voltage data signals only, so no specialist electrical installation is needed.
