Victron specifies a maximum VE.Direct cable length of 10 meters and states that VE.Direct cables cannot be extended. Use one continuous factory-made cable. For a route longer than 10 meters, follow Victron guidance for a VE.Direct-to-USB interface with a suitable active USB extension cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails style=\"background:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #E2E8F0; border-left:5px solid #2E91E5; border-radius:10px; padding:18px;\"\u003e\n        \u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; color:#1A202C; font-weight:700; font-size:16px; line-height:1.45;\"\u003eWill I lose data over the full 10-meter run?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n        \u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0 0; color:#2D3748;\"\u003eThe 10-meter cable is an official Victron length intended for supported VE.Direct connections. Reliable operation still depends on correct ports, intact factory terminations, secure connections, and sensible routing that avoids pinching, heat, sharp bends, and long parallel runs beside high-interference power wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails style=\"background:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #E2E8F0; border-left:5px solid #5EBB46; border-radius:10px; padding:18px;\"\u003e\n        \u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; color:#1A202C; font-weight:700; font-size:16px; line-height:1.45;\"\u003eWhich Victron products can use this 10-meter VE.Direct cable?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n        \u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0 0; color:#2D3748;\"\u003eIt can be used with compatible products that have supported VE.Direct ports. Examples include many BMV battery monitors, SmartShunts, SmartSolar and BlueSolar MPPT solar chargers, Orion XS units, Smart IP43 chargers, and selected VE.Direct-equipped devices.

Do not join two cables, add an unapproved coupler, or splice the cable. Use the recommended VE.Direct-to-USB and active USB-extension method when a longer route is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003c\/details\u003e\n      \u003cdetails style=\"background:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #E2E8F0; border-left:5px solid #5EBB46; border-radius:10px; padding:18px;\"\u003e\n        \u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer; color:#1A202C; font-weight:700; font-size:16px; line-height:1.45;\"\u003eDo I need this cable if my SmartSolar or SmartShunt has Bluetooth?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n        \u003cp style=\"margin:14px 0 0 0; color:#2D3748;\"\u003eBluetooth is useful for local setup and monitoring with VictronConnect, but it does not replace a direct VE.Direct connection when the device needs to report to a Cerbo GX or another GX system.

VE.Direct uses a specific four-contact data and power arrangement, and an incorrect splice or termination can prevent communication or create difficult-to-diagnose system faults.
