Victron Energy VE.Direct Cable, 9.84 ft

Its a cable and it worked.

Worked perfectly / did the job!

Like that It came quickly Dislike that it does not come with the components

This was exactly what I needed. The extra long cable made it where I could put the display exactly where I wanted it. Couldnt have worked better.

These cables are easy enough to install and use, but when it comes to a Victron solar system I really regret investing in anything but Bluetooth products. Victron does a great job with the BT interface, but the systems that rely on cable connections just dont seem to get the same love. I have a solar power system with five MPPT controllers and an Octo GX communications hub. VE direct cables from each of the controller allow me to see all the controllers on my iPad app, but for changing settings or firmware updates BT is the only way to go. A better communications hub might change my perspective on the utility of cable connections, but I plan to just stick with BT in the future.

If you have any Victron Energy equipment with VE Direct, these cables are a must have to connect to a Cerbo GX or other devices. These cables allow each device to communicate with each other, and report their current state. You can then keep an eye on your system which is highly configurable and flexible. They are not expensive, and are the link to making your Victron Energy equipment do their thing. For being such a small thing like a cable, they are that little extra that makes it all work. Get em. 5 stars from me.

It works as intended but why not just use a standard type cable and terminator? Apple anyone..?
