Furuno 000-159-702 Data Cable - 4 Pin

Enhance Your Marine Electronics Setup with Reliable Connectivity

Connecting your Furuno navigation and sensing equipment demands precision and durability, especially in harsh saltwater environments. This 5-meter NMEA data cable with a single 4-pin connector delivers seamless data transmission between compatible devices, ensuring your GPS, sonar, and chartplotters operate in perfect sync. Crafted for marine professionals and recreational boaters alike, it stands up to constant vibration, moisture, and corrosion without compromising signal integrity.

Whether you're upgrading your helm station or extending reach between instruments, this cable simplifies integration while minimizing downtime. Its plug-and-play design means less time wiring and more time on the water, making it a go-to solution for reliable NMEA 0183 communications.

Superior Build Quality for Long-Lasting Performance

• Optimal Length: At 5 meters, it provides ample flexibility for routing around consoles, bulkheads, and tight spaces without excess slack that could snag.
• Robust 4-Pin Connector: Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation and ensure low-resistance connections for error-free data flow at standard baud rates.
• Marine-Grade Shielding: Tinned copper conductors and foil shielding block electromagnetic interference from engines, radios, and other onboard electronics.
• Flexible Jacket: UV-resistant PVC outer layer withstands extreme temperatures from -25°C to 80°C, flexing without cracking during vessel movement.

Unlike generic cables that fail prematurely, this Furuno accessory maintains peak performance season after season, reducing the risk of intermittent data glitches that could mislead your navigation.

Seamless Compatibility Across Furuno Systems

Designed specifically for Furuno's ecosystem, this cable pairs effortlessly with popular models like GP series GPS receivers, DRS radars, and TZtouch multifunction displays. It supports bidirectional NMEA 0183 sentences for sharing position, depth, speed, and heading data across your network.

It's also backward-compatible with older Furuno units and many third-party NMEA-compliant devices, allowing hybrid setups without adapters. Boaters often use it to link autopilots to chartplotters or extend sensor feeds to remote displays, creating a unified command center at the helm.

Easy Installation and Practical Tips

Installation is straightforward: Simply plug one end into your Furuno device's data port and the other into the receiving unit. Secure with cable ties to avoid strain, and use waterproof enclosures for exposed deck runs. For best results:

• Route away from high-voltage AC lines to prevent noise pickup.
• Terminate unused wires if daisy-chaining multiple devices.
• Test continuity with a multimeter before finalizing connections.
• In multi-station setups, combine with Furuno junction boxes for star or backbone topologies.

These steps ensure crisp, real-time data, vital for safe anchoring, fishing hot spots, or coastal cruising.

Why This Cable Outperforms Alternatives

In marine applications, skimping on cabling invites headaches—dropped signals, phantom alarms, or total blackouts. This Furuno cable prioritizes signal fidelity with twisted-pair construction that cancels crosstalk, outperforming bargain imports prone to data corruption. Anglers report clearer fish finder returns, while commercial operators praise its role in uninterrupted AIS tracking and radar overlays.

Investing here means fewer service calls and more confidence in your electronics when conditions turn rough.
