Overview

The Victron Energy ASS030065011 is a 10 m RJ45 UTP cable for communication connections within Victron Energy power systems. It is used to link compatible Victron controls, interfaces, VE.Bus devices, VE.Can connections, and GX monitoring devices where a longer cable run is needed between equipment on board.

This cable is a practical fit for installations where inverters, chargers, battery system components, and monitoring displays are not mounted in the same area. On a boat, that can mean running a communication link from an electrical locker to a nav station, from an inverter compartment to a GX device, or between multiple VE.Bus units in a larger system.

The 10 m length gives more routing flexibility than short patch leads while still using the familiar RJ45 connection format found across many Victron system components. It is a communication cable, not a power cable, so it should be routed and secured as part of the low-voltage control and data side of the installation.

Key features

• 10 m RJ45 UTP cable for Victron communication and control connections.
• Supports links to compatible Digital Multi Control, Phoenix Inverter Control, and VE.Interface MK3-USB equipment.
• Can be used for VE.Bus connections between multiple VE.Bus devices.
• Suitable for VE.Bus and VE.Can communication paths to compatible GX monitoring devices.
• Useful for marine electrical layouts where Victron equipment is split between an engine room, electrical locker, nav area, or cabin panel.
• Helps keep control and monitoring components positioned where they are easy to access, rather than forcing them next to the main inverter or charger hardware.

Compatibility and fit

This cable is intended for Victron Energy components that use RJ45 communication ports for VE.Bus, VE.Can, control, or interface connections. Common uses include connecting compatible inverter controls, MK3-USB interfaces, GX devices, and multiple VE.Bus devices in the same system.

Before installation, check the connection type on both devices and confirm that the required cable length fits the planned route. Avoid treating the RJ45 connector as a universal network connection for unrelated marine electronics unless the connected Victron equipment specifically calls for this cable type.

Installation and setup

Plan the cable path before pulling it through lockers, conduits, or behind panels. Leave enough service loop at each end so equipment can be removed for inspection without straining the connector.

On board, the cable should be kept away from sharp edges, high-heat areas, standing water, and heavy current wiring where practical. Secure it so vibration and normal vessel movement do not pull on the RJ45 plugs over time.

Use cases on board

This 10 m cable suits cruising boats, fishing boats, and larger battery based marine power systems where Victron components are spread across different spaces. It is especially useful when a GX display or control interface needs to sit at the helm, nav station, or service panel while the inverter, charger, or battery equipment stays closer to the batteries.
