Hi,
The VE. Direct Cable comes with either a right angled or straight connector on one end. Is there a particular Victron device [see below for my main items] that actual needs the right angled end. They will be wall mounted.
About to place order and need to make sure I get the right ones.
Venus GX
BMV-712
Thanks
Tony
It all depends on how they are mounted, and how much clearance there is behind the accessory.
For example, if you wished to back wire from the Venus GX, then you would use the right angle cable.
If you wanted to surface mount the wiring, then the normal cable would be more suitable.
No product requires a specific angle, and the cables are flexible so you can usually contort them to make them fit regardless. But obviously it is much better to have the bend by design.
Thanks Guy
I prefer the right angle connectors as they are more secure and less likely to be pulled out be the mass of the cable, and easier to secure. I wish there was a cable option with right angle at each end. You can see the bracket I rigged to secure the non-right angle cable. The VE.Direct connector is a bad design for marine use, as there is no positive lock.
Allan.
