Furuno 000-176-984-10 1X6 Pin Pig Tail For Speed/Temp
Furuno 000-176-984-10 1X6 Pin Pig Tail For Speed/Temp — Product description
Enhance Your Marine Electronics with Reliable Speed and Temp Connections
Connecting your boat's speed and water temperature sensors has never been simpler or more dependable. This specialized pigtail cable serves as the perfect intermediary for Furuno speed/temp sensors, ensuring seamless data transmission to your display units. Designed for the harsh marine environment, it features a robust 6-pin female connector on one end and bare wires on the other, making it ideal for custom installations or replacing worn-out leads.
At 2 meters long, it provides ample reach without excess cable cluttering your setup. Whether you're upgrading your navigation system or troubleshooting sensor issues, this cable delivers precise readings for speed through water and surface temperature—crucial for safe navigation, fishing, or performance monitoring.
Key Features That Stand Out in Marine Conditions
- Precision Connector: Single 6-pin female plug mates perfectly with Furuno speed/temp transducers, preventing signal loss or intermittent connections.
- Flexible Length: 2 meters (about 6.5 feet) strikes the balance between accessibility and tidiness in tight helm spaces.
- Durable Construction: Marine-grade materials resist corrosion, UV exposure, and constant vibration from engine rumble or rough seas.
- Easy Integration: Pigtailed ends with stripped wires simplify soldering or crimping to existing harnesses, no special tools required beyond basics.
- Signal Integrity: Shielded design minimizes electrical noise from nearby motors or radios, ensuring accurate log and temp data.
Perfect Compatibility for Furuno Systems
This pigtail pairs effortlessly with popular Furuno sensors like those used in multifunction displays (MFDs), instrument clusters, and network systems. It's a go-to replacement for models in the TZT series, NavNet, or standalone gauges where speed and temp probes need a fresh wiring link. Think of it as the reliable bridge between your transducer mounted on the hull and the brain of your boating electronics.
Users often pair it with paddlewheel-style speed sensors or thru-hull temp probes, common on sailboats, power yachts, and center consoles. If your current cable is frayed from years of saltwater exposure, this upgrade restores full functionality without overhauling the entire setup.
Simple Installation Tips for Boaters
Getting this cable up and running takes under an hour:
- Power down your electronics and disconnect the battery to avoid shorts.
- Unplug the old connector from the sensor head.
- Strip and match wire colors: typically red for power, black for ground, white/green for speed signal, blue for temp.
- Secure connections with heat-shrink tubing or marine-grade connectors for waterproofing.
- Route the cable away from exhausts or sharp edges, using zip ties for strain relief.
- Test with your display—calibrate speed if needed for accurate knots or MPH.
Pro tip: Apply dielectric grease to pins before mating to fend off moisture ingress, extending the cable's lifespan even in saltwater splashes.
Why Boaters Trust This for Long-Term Performance
In the world of marine electronics, skimping on cables leads to headaches like erratic speed logs or false temp alerts. This genuine Furuno component outperforms generic alternatives with superior shielding and pin tolerances, reducing downtime during critical outings. Anglers get precise water temp for lure selection, racers track hull speed accurately, and cruisers monitor for engine overheating risks.
Built to withstand submersion tests and extreme flexing, it's the unsung hero that keeps your data flowing reliably season after season.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact length of this Furuno speed/temp pigtail cable?
The cable measures 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet), providing sufficient length for most helm-to-sensor routing without unnecessary slack.
What type of connector does this pigtail use?
It features a single 6-pin female connector on one end, designed specifically for Furuno speed and temperature sensors, with bare pigtail wires on the other for easy splicing.
Is this cable compatible with all Furuno speed/temp sensors?
Yes, it's tailored for Furuno's common speed-through-water and water temperature transducers used in displays like NavNet, TZT series, and instrument pods.
Can this pigtail handle saltwater and harsh marine environments?
Absolutely—it's constructed with marine-grade, corrosion-resistant materials and shielding to endure UV, moisture, vibration, and submersion typical of boating conditions.
How do I know if this replaces my damaged sensor cable?
Check for the 6-pin female connector match on your sensor. If your current lead is frayed or corroded, this 2-meter pigtail is a direct, plug-and-wire upgrade.
Does it require special tools for installation?
No, basic wire strippers, crimpers, or soldering iron suffice. Use heat-shrink for waterproof seals, and always disconnect power first.
Will this cable improve signal accuracy for speed and temp readings?
Yes, its noise-resistant design ensures clean signals, eliminating glitches from interference and delivering reliable data to your Furuno displays.
