Victron Energy VE.Direct to USB Interface (ASS030530010)

The Victron ASS030530010 is a high-quality 0.9 meter VE.Direct cable designed for short-range data communication between Victron Energy components. Measuring approximately 3 feet in length, this specialized cable provides a secure physical link for integrating power electronics into a centralized monitoring system such as a Cerbo GX, Ekrano GX, or Venus GX.

Purpose and Connectivity

The VE.Direct interface is a proprietary communication protocol used across the Victron ecosystem to transmit real-time performance data. This short-length cable is ideal for compact installations where the monitoring hub and the power components are mounted in close proximity, such as inside a single battery box or a shared electrical cabinet. It is commonly used to connect:

• SmartSolar and BlueSolar MPPT Charge Controllers.

• BMV-700 and BMV-712 Battery Monitors.

• Phoenix Inverters equipped with a VE.Direct port.

• Blue Smart IP22 and IP65 chargers.

Data Transmission Capabilities

By linking a device to a GX-series controller with this cable, users gain access to granular system diagnostics. The cable carries live information including battery voltage, current flow, solar harvest statistics, and load status. This data is then processed for display on local touchscreens or for remote monitoring through the Victron Remote Management portal.

Technical Specifications and Design

• Length: 0.9 meters (approximately 3 feet), perfect for clean cable management in tight spaces without the need for coiling excess wire.

• Connectors: Features molded 4-pin VE.Direct connectors on both ends, designed for a secure friction-fit that remains stable in high-vibration environments like boats or RVs.

• Build Quality: The cable is shielded to prevent electromagnetic interference from nearby high-current power cables, ensuring a clean and consistent data signal.

• Low Profile: The thin, flexible jacket allows for easy routing through small holes and behind panels, maintaining a professional look for the installation.

Installation Note

This is a dedicated data cable for direct device-to-device or device-to-GX communication. It is not designed for connection to a standard USB port; for PC or Android connectivity, a separate VE.Direct to USB interface adapter is required.
