{"product_id":"qbp355154","title":"Victron Energy VE.Direct Cable, For VE.Direct Devices, Straight Connectors","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Victron Energy VE.Direct Cable is a communication cable for linking VE.Direct-equipped Victron devices to a GX monitoring device or another compatible VE.Direct connection point. On a boat, it is commonly used to bring data from equipment such as a SmartShunt, BMV battery monitor, or MPPT solar charge controller into a Cerbo GX, Color Control GX, Venus GX, or similar Victron monitoring setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the straight connector version of the VE.Direct cable range, with available lengths from 0.3 m to 10 m in the variants listed here. It is a data cable for the Victron VE.Direct ecosystem, not a shore power lead, battery cable, or NMEA 2000 backbone cable, so it belongs in the monitoring and control side of the electrical system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects Victron products with a VE.Direct port to compatible Victron monitoring and control devices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for bringing battery monitor, shunt, inverter, or solar charge controller data into a central GX display or remote monitoring system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight VE.Direct connectors suit clean panel runs, helm electronics areas, nav stations, and equipment boards where the cable can exit the port in line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength options from 0.3 m to 10 m help avoid excess cable in tight marine electrical spaces while still reaching equipment mounted farther apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks within the Victron VE.Direct communication system, keeping integration separate from NMEA 2000, AC wiring, and DC power cabling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable range varies by length, with options covering short equipment-to-equipment links and longer runs between a monitored device and a GX unit. The listed configurations run from 0.3 m for compact installations up to 10 m for layouts where the battery monitor, shunt, charger, or inverter is mounted away from the display or communications hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe variants in this listing use straight VE.Direct connectors. For marine installs, the main decision is cable routing: shorter lengths help keep lockers and panels tidy, while longer lengths give more freedom when equipment is split between the battery compartment, electronics panel, engine room, or helm area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the route before plugging in the cable, especially around battery compartments, charger locations, and behind the helm. Keep the cable away from sharp edges, high-heat areas, moving engine parts, and places where gear may snag it during service. In a saltwater environment, it is also good practice to keep communication cabling supported and away from standing water or bilge moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter connection, the linked device should appear through the Victron monitoring device or system interface when the connected equipment is powered and configured correctly. Because VE.Direct is a dedicated Victron communication connection, each cable should be matched to the actual VE.Direct ports in the system rather than treated as a generic networking cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is a practical match for cruising boats, fishing boats, workboats, and sailboats that use Victron equipment and need cleaner visibility of charging, battery state, or solar performance. It is especially useful when a battery monitor or solar controller is mounted out of sight but the data needs to be available at a nav station, electrical panel, or central GX display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victron Energy","offers":[{"title":"0.3 m","offer_id":52581953175733,"sku":"QBP355154-V1","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.9 m","offer_id":52581953208501,"sku":"QBP355154-V2","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.8 m","offer_id":52581953241269,"sku":"QBP355154-V3","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 m","offer_id":52581953274037,"sku":"QBP355154-V4","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 m","offer_id":52581953306805,"sku":"QBP355154-V5","price":25.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 m","offer_id":52581953339573,"sku":"QBP355154-V6","price":26.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1336108_qbp355154.jpg?v=1780201714","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp355154","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
