This is Victron's short USB extension cable with a right-angle plug on one side, sold in a 0,3 m length. It is meant for setups where a cable's own plug sticks out too far. Victron makes it for the wall mount box that holds a Color Control GX, where some of its other USB cables have plugs too long to fit inside. Using this extension is the maker's answer to that clearance problem. No data speed or connector standard beyond USB is given, so check those against the device you are connecting.

Our take

The right-angle plug on one side is what deals with clearance in a Color Control GX wall mount box, where Victron says some USB plugs are too long to fit. At 0,3 m it is a short run, so it works as a close-quarters extension.

From our buying guide

On a boat subpart I covers, an electrical component must not ignite fuel vapor around it unless it is isolated from gasoline fuel sources. Ignition protection is the maker's statement.

Check before you buy:

  • 33 CFR 183 subpart I applies to boats that have a gasoline engine, except an outboard, so a gasoline generator counts.
  • On a boat subpart I covers, each ungrounded output conductor from a battery needs a manually reset, trip-free circuit breaker or fuse within 72 inches of the battery.
