Overview

The Victron Energy ASS030064981 is a 3 m RJ45 UTP cable for linking Victron communication and control devices in an onboard power system. It is used for VE.Bus and VE.Can connections, including links between multiple VE.Bus devices and connections from compatible Victron equipment to a GX device.

This cable is a practical fit for boats using Victron chargers, inverter chargers, monitoring panels, or system interfaces where a clean data connection is needed between nearby components. The 3 m length works well for short runs inside a helm console, electrical locker, nav station, or equipment cabinet without leaving excessive spare cable to coil behind panels.

Because it is a communication cable rather than a power cable, routing matters. Keep it away from sharp edges, secure it against vibration, and run it through dry, protected spaces where the RJ45 connectors are not exposed to bilge water, washdowns, or deck spray.

Key features

• 3 m RJ45 UTP cable for short communication runs in Victron system layouts.
• Supports VE.Bus connections between compatible Victron devices.
• Can be used for VE.Can connections to a compatible GX device.
• Suitable for linking Digital Multi Control, Inverter Control, VE Interface MK3-USB, and compatible Victron inverter or inverter charger equipment.
• Helps keep control and monitoring wiring tidy inside protected onboard electrical spaces.

Installation and setup

Use this cable where the Victron devices are close enough for a 3 m run with a little service slack at each end. Avoid tight bends at the RJ45 plugs, and do not place strain on the connectors once the cable is plugged in.

In marine installations, it is good practice to route communication cables separately from high-current DC cables, AC wiring, and ignition or alternator wiring when space allows. This keeps the installation easier to inspect and reduces the chance of physical damage during service work.

Compatibility and fit

This cable is for Victron equipment that uses RJ45 UTP cabling for VE.Bus or VE.Can communication. It is commonly used around MultiPlus, Quattro, GX, control, and interface installations, depending on the exact system design.

Before ordering, confirm the port type on both devices and measure the actual cable path, including bends, drip loops, and service access. A cable that is too short can put tension on the ports, while too much extra cable can make a small electrical locker harder to keep organized.

Use cases on board

This cable is a good match for boat owners and installers building or servicing Victron-based power systems where the communication run stays within a protected equipment area. It is especially useful for tidy connections between a GX device, inverter charger, remote control panel, or interface module in a compact marine electrical layout.
