Overview

The Victron Energy ASS030065001 is a 5 m RJ45 UTP cable for Victron communication links on board. It is used to connect compatible Victron controls, interfaces, VE.Bus devices, and GX system devices where an RJ45-style data cable is required.

This cable is a practical length for routing between an inverter or charger area and a nearby control panel, MK3-USB interface, Digital Multi Control, or GX device. On a boat, that often means running the cable from an electrical locker, battery compartment, or equipment panel to a helm, nav station, or monitoring location while keeping the installation tidy.

It is intended for communication between compatible Victron devices, not for AC wiring, DC battery cabling, or NMEA 2000 Micro-C backbone connections. Before installation, match the cable length to the route and confirm that the equipment ports call for an RJ45 UTP connection.

Key features

• 5 m RJ45 UTP cable for Victron VE.Bus and compatible Victron data connections.
• Useful for linking Victron controls, interfaces, multiple VE.Bus devices, and GX devices with RJ45 communication ports.
• Good fit for marine electrical layouts where the inverter, charger, battery system, or monitoring display is mounted away from the main control point.
• Helps keep communication wiring separate from high-current DC cables and AC wiring during a clean boat installation.
• Factory-terminated cable avoids the extra work and uncertainty of crimping RJ45 plugs during refits or equipment upgrades.

Installation and setup

Route the cable where it will not be pinched by panels, pulled tight at hinges, or exposed to sharp edges behind cabinetry. Leave a service loop near the equipment so the connected device can be moved for inspection without straining the RJ45 plug.

For best practice on board, keep data cables separated from battery cables, inverter AC wiring, and other high-current runs where possible. Use clips, loom, or cable ties to support the run, but do not overtighten around the jacket.

Compatibility and fit

This cable is suited to Victron equipment that specifies RJ45 UTP cabling for communication, including common VE.Bus and GX device layouts. It is especially relevant for installations built around Victron inverter chargers, remote controls, configuration interfaces, and monitoring devices with RJ45 communication sockets.

The 5 m length works well when the connected devices are in the same electrical space or in nearby compartments. Measure the real cable route, including bends and service loops, rather than using straight-line distance between devices.

Use cases on board

This cable is a good match for boat owners, marine electricians, and refit yards adding or servicing Victron power system communication. It is useful in battery upgrades, inverter charger installs, GX monitoring projects, and helm or nav-station control layouts where a clean data connection is needed between Victron components.
