VE.Direct to USB adapter cable Orion XS with 5m USB extension cable

Hi,

we used a Victron VE.Direct to USB adapter cable to connect the Orion XS to a Cerbo GX as all VE.Direct ports a block by two MPPTs and a BMV.

The cable length of the VE.Direct to USB adapter cable is to short and we used a 5m USB extension cable to connect to the CerboGX. Unfortunately the CerboGX does not see the Orion XS in the device list.

Any suggestions why this is the case?

Does the cable work without extension? If so then your extension cable is not ok,

you could also try to put good quality powered hub in between
