5m

This is the Victron VE.Direct Cable in the 5m length, part of a cable range that Victron makes in several lengths. The range includes both a straight model and a 90 degree angle model. The length is what identifies this one. Other lengths exist in the same range, so check the 5m figure when matching it to the run between two devices.

Our take

The 5m length is the one fixed detail here, and it sets how far apart two devices can sit when joined by this lead. The range also has straight and 90 degree angle models, so confirm the plug style before relying on this one.

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.
