Furuno FA150 Cable Assembly - 10m

Enhance your vessel's AIS system with the reliable Furuno FA150 Cable Assembly, engineered for seamless connectivity in demanding marine environments. This 10-meter pigtail cable provides the perfect length for flexible installations, whether you're mounting your FA150 transponder in tight engine rooms or extending reach to remote display panels. Crafted with marine-grade materials, it withstands saltwater exposure, vibration, and temperature swings common on board.

Why Choose This Cable for Your FA150 AIS Transponder?

Boat owners and marine professionals know that a solid connection is crucial for AIS performance. The FA150 relies on precise data transmission for vessel tracking, collision avoidance, and regulatory compliance. This cable assembly eliminates guesswork, offering a plug-and-play solution that matches Furuno's exact specifications. No splicing or custom wiring needed—simply connect and go.

• Extended Reach: 10 meters of flexible cabling allows optimal transponder placement without signal loss.
• Durable Construction: Shielded wiring resists electromagnetic interference from radars and engines, ensuring clear AIS signals.
• Weatherproof Design: IP-rated connectors seal out moisture, ideal for open-deck or below-waterline setups.
• Easy Integration: Pigtail ends mate directly with FA150 ports, supporting power, GPS, and VHF data lines.

Perfect for Real-World Marine Applications

From commercial fishing fleets to recreational yachts, this cable shines in setups where space is at a premium. Imagine routing it neatly through bulkheads or along gunwales without excess slack causing hazards. It's a staple for upgrades, repairs, or new installs on boats equipped with Furuno's Class B AIS like the FA150, helping maintain SOLAS-compliant operations without downtime.

Users report fewer connection issues compared to generic cables, thanks to Furuno's precision engineering. Pair it with NMEA 0183/2000 networks for full integration with chartplotters, radars, and multifunction displays.

Installation Tips for Peak Performance

1. Plan your route: Avoid high-heat areas near exhausts and secure with cable ties every 30cm.
2. Check polarity: FA150 power lines are color-coded for foolproof hookup.
3. Test connections: Power cycle the system post-install to verify AIS transmission.
4. Protect ends: Use heat-shrink tubing on any exposed junctions for extra saltwater resistance.

Regular inspections keep it performing—wipe connectors clean and check for chafing during routine maintenance. This investment pays off in reliable vessel identification and safer navigation year after year.
