Victron Energy - VE.Direct USB Interface Cable - 1.8m

Expand Your Victron Energy System Capabilities

The Victron VE.Direct to USB Interface Cable is an essential tool for managing and expanding your off-grid power setup. Designed to bridge the gap between VE.Direct-compatible devices and USB-enabled equipment, this 1.8-metre cable ensures a seamless flow of data. Whether you need to connect a BMV battery monitor, an MPPT solar charge controller, or a Phoenix inverter to your computer or system controller, this cable provides a highly reliable, hardwired connection.

Seamless GX Device Expansion

Advanced system monitoring often requires connecting multiple components to a central hub like the Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX. However, these monitoring hubs have a limited number of native VE.Direct ports. By using the VE.Direct to USB cable, you can easily bypass this limitation. Simply plug the VE.Direct end into your solar controller or shunt, and connect the standard USB-A plug into an available USB port on your GX device. This plug-and-play method allows you to significantly expand your system, accommodating complex configurations with multiple power sources and monitors without needing a complex interface hub.

Computer Connectivity and Firmware Updates

For users who prefer a direct connection to a computer, this interface module is the perfect solution. By connecting your Victron hardware directly to a PC or Mac running the VictronConnect app, you gain comprehensive access to real-time performance data, historical trends, and deep system configurations. A hardwired VE.Direct USB cable ensures a highly stable connection, completely bypassing potential wireless interference issues. This makes it the most secure method for performing critical firmware updates or diagnosing system performance in challenging marine or caravan environments.

Key Features and Benefits

• Plug-and-play compatibility: Requires no additional drivers for modern operating systems, ensuring a rapid, hassle-free installation.
• GX series expansion: Connect additional VE.Direct devices to Cerbo GX and Ekrano GX units via their USB ports.
• Inline electronic module: Safely houses the data conversion hardware required to translate VE.Direct communication into standard USB protocols.
