Victron VE.Direct to USB Interface for PC & GX Devices
Free shipping over $49
60-day hassle-free returns
The cable that connects a VE.Direct Victron device to your laptop — and the trick installers use to add more VE.Direct devices to a Cerbo GX. Plug the VE.Direct end into any SmartSolar MPPT, SmartShunt, BMV-7 series battery monitor, Phoenix Inverter Smart, Orion-Tr Smart, or Orion XS DC-DC; plug the USB-A end into a Windows PC or Mac running VEConfigure / VictronConnect, or into a Cerbo GX / Ekrano GX USB host port to add the device to the system as if it were on a native VE.Direct port.
- Works with every VE.Direct-equipped Victron device — SmartSolar MPPTs (75/10 through 250/100), SmartShunt, BMV-700/702/712, Phoenix Inverter Smart, Orion-Tr Smart, and Orion XS DC-DC chargers. Same compatibility list as the passive VE.Direct cable, but with a USB connector on one end.
- Use case 1: configure or monitor from a computer. Read live data, change settings, and run firmware updates on any VE.Direct device through VictronConnect (Windows / macOS) or VEConfigure. For SmartSolar MPPTs and SmartShunts, this is how you go beyond what the phone app exposes — setting custom charge curves, equalisation cycles, advanced battery monitor parameters.
- Use case 2: add a VE.Direct device to a GX system via USB. Plug a VE.Direct device into a Cerbo GX or Ekrano GX USB host port via this interface, and the GX picks it up as if it were on a native VE.Direct port. Common move when a system has multiple SmartSolar MPPTs plus a SmartShunt plus a BMV, all reporting to one GX.
- Different from the MK3-USB Interface. The MK3-USB is for VE.Bus devices (MultiPlus, MultiPlus-II, Quattro). This VE.Direct interface is for the smaller monitoring and charging devices (MPPTs, SmartShunt, BMV, Phoenix Inverter Smart). Buyers configuring an inverter/charger want the MK3-USB; buyers configuring an MPPT or battery monitor want this one.
- Genuine Victron Energy interface — ISO 9001 manufactured, full 5-year Victron warranty.
If you only need to read status data on a Smart product, VictronConnect over Bluetooth is the easier path — no cable required. Reach for this USB interface when you want PC-level configuration (custom charge curves, firmware updates, VEConfigure-style depth) or when you're building a multi-device GX system. Book a system consultation if you'd like our ABYC-certified Advisors to spec the comms wiring for your build. See the full cables and accessories collection for VE.Direct cables, RJ45 UTP, and the rest of the Victron comm range.
