Product Details
This Victron VE.Direct to USB interface cable (SKU ASS030530010) allows you to connect devices that use a VE.Direct port to a USB-enabled device, such as a computer or a GX system. It is particularly useful for trade installers who need to monitor, configure or update firmware on Victron products.
By using this cable, you can connect more than two VE.Direct devices to a single Colour Control GX (CCGX), expanding your system’s communication capabilities. The cable supports a stable connection for data exchange, making it suitable for diagnostics, logging or system setup.
The interface includes galvanic isolation, which helps protect sensitive equipment from ground loops or electrical interference. This improves system robustness and reduces the risk of communication issues. According to Victron specifications, this cable is backed by a 5‑year warranty, giving long-term reliability to professional installations.
It is compact and straightforward to use. Simply plug the VE.Direct end of the cable into your device and the USB end into your PC or GX unit. Trade users appreciate its plug‑and‑play form factor and the ability to streamline data retrieval or configuration without needing extra adapters.
For solar, battery, inverter or BMS applications, this cable is a valuable accessory. It enhances system flexibility by enabling reliable VE.Direct communications across devices, supporting trade-level maintenance, setup and diagnostics.
