At 3 metres, it suits installations where connected units sit a short distance apart, such as a charge controller and a GX display mounted in the same enclosure or cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e, 3 metres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterface\u003c\/strong\u003e, VE.Direct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e, 0.115 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e, VE.Direct-equipped devices including BMV battery monitors, SmartSolar MPPT charge controllers and Phoenix inverters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e, genuine Victron Energy accessory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVE.Direct is Victron's own serial communication interface, used to pass data between devices such as an MPPT charge controller and a Colour Control GX, GlobalLink 520 or a computer running VictronConnect. A correctly rated, properly terminated cable is needed for this link to work. This 3m length is a common choice where the monitoring unit or GX device sits close to the charge controller or battery monitor, with enough slack to route neatly through an enclosure without excess cable. Other lengths are available in the VE.Direct range for longer or shorter runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting a SmartSolar or BlueSolar MPPT charge controller to a Cerbo GX or Colour Control GX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinking a BMV battery monitor to a GX device for system-level monitoring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting a Phoenix inverter with a VE.Direct port to a monitoring or control unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterfacing a VE.Direct device with a laptop or Raspberry Pi via a VE.Direct to USB adapter, running VictronConnect or Venus OS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff-grid cabin, narrowboat, motorhome and marine installations where Victron components sit close together\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, 3m\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlug the cable directly into the VE.Direct ports on compatible devices; no tools are needed.
