Garmin Power & Data Cable f/400 & 500 Series

Enhance Your Garmin Chartplotter Setup with Reliable Power and Data Connectivity

Keep your Garmin 400 and 500-Series chartplotters powered up and seamlessly connected during those long days on the water. This specialized power and data cable delivers stable electricity and smooth data transmission, ensuring your navigation stays uninterrupted even in demanding marine conditions. Designed exclusively for chartplotter enthusiasts, it bridges the gap between your device and power source while enabling essential data flow for software updates, waypoint sharing, and system integration.

Key Features That Stand Out on the Water

• Dual Functionality: Combines power delivery with data transfer in one durable cable, reducing clutter on your helm station.
• Marine-Grade Durability: Built to withstand saltwater exposure, vibrations, and temperature swings—common challenges in boating environments.
• Precise Fit: Engineered specifically for 400 and 500-Series models, guaranteeing plug-and-play compatibility without adapters.
• Optimized Performance: Supports consistent power for extended charting sessions and reliable data sync for real-time updates.

Perfect Compatibility for Targeted Chartplotter Users

This cable shines with Garmin's 400 and 500-Series chartplotters, powering models like the GPSMAP 400 and 500 lines. It handles the unique power requirements of these units, maintaining peak performance for route planning, fishfinding overlays (when paired correctly), and AIS integration. Note that it's tailored for chartplotters only—steer clear if you're using fishfinders or standalone sounders, as those demand different cabling to avoid connectivity issues.

Installation Made Simple for Boaters of All Levels

Getting this cable up and running takes minutes. Start by powering down your chartplotter. Locate the power/data port on the back—it's usually clearly marked. Gently insert one end into the chartplotter and the other into your boat's 12V power source or NMEA network hub. Secure any connections with zip ties to prevent snags from waves or gear. Test the setup by firing up the unit; you should see immediate power and data recognition. Pro tip: Rout the cable away from high-heat areas like engines to maximize longevity.

Why Mariners Trust This Cable for Long-Term Reliability

In the world of marine electronics, a faulty cable can mean losing critical nav data mid-trip. This Garmin cable minimizes downtime with its robust construction, resisting corrosion that plagues lesser options. Boaters report fewer resets and stable connections during rough seas, making it a smart upgrade or spare for serious setups. Whether you're upgrading from a worn-out stock cable or outfitting a new install, it keeps your chartplotter as dependable as your vessel.
