Furuno 001-186-340-10 30M Signal Cable 6TPSH-XH12X2

The Furuno 001-186-340-10 is a genuine factory signal cable, identified by the type designation 6TPSH-XH12X2 and supplied in a 30-meter length. In a marine electronics installation, the cabling is easy to overlook, but it's every bit as important as the boxes it connects. This is the part that carries clean signal and power between Furuno units over a long run, and using the correct Furuno cable is the surest way to keep the whole system performing to specification. Roughly 98 feet of length gives you plenty of reach to route between equipment that sits far apart on a larger vessel.

The type code tells the story of how it's built. A shielded, twisted-pair construction is exactly what you want on a boat, where signal cables share space with radar gear, chargers, pumps, and all the electrical noise a working vessel generates. Twisting the conductors in pairs helps reject interference, and the shield wraps that bundle to keep stray noise out of the data. The result is a cleaner connection between your Furuno components, which matters more the longer the run gets. Over 30 meters, a lesser cable can let noise creep in and degrade performance, and that's precisely the problem a proper shielded Furuno cable is designed to avoid.

Length is one of the most common reasons an installer reaches for a cable like this. On a sportfisher, a trawler, or any vessel where the display, processor, and sensors live in different parts of the boat, you need a run long enough to reach without splices or awkward junctions. A single continuous 30-meter cable lets you make one clean, reliable connection from end to end. Every splice or adapter you can avoid is one less place for corrosion, water intrusion, or a loose pin to cause a fault down the road, and on a boat those faults always seem to show up at the worst possible time.

It helps to think about where a cable like this actually lives on a boat. It might run from a helm console down through a conduit, across the overhead of an engine room, and up into a flybridge or a tuna tower, passing plenty of other wiring along the way. That's a demanding path, full of vibration, heat, and electrical noise, and it's exactly why the shielding and the continuous length matter so much. A cable that starts clean and stays continuous the whole way gives you the best shot at a signal that arrives at the far end just as strong as it left. There's real value in staying with genuine Furuno cabling rather than improvising. Furuno engineers its systems as a matched set, and the cables are part of that design. The connectors, the conductor count, the shielding, and the length are all chosen to work with the specific equipment they serve. When you use the correct part number, you know the fit and the signal handling are right, instead of gambling on a generic substitute and troubleshooting a flaky system later. For a professional installation, or for anyone who simply wants it done once and done right, that peace of mind is worth a lot.

• Genuine Furuno signal cable, part number 001-186-340-10
• Type 6TPSH-XH12X2 shielded, twisted-pair construction
• 30-meter (approximately 98-foot) length for long equipment runs
• Rejects electrical interference for clean signal over distance
• A single continuous run avoids splices and extra connection points

Route it with care, keep it clear of high-current cables and sharp edges where you can, secure it along its length, and leave a little service loop at each end. Treated well, a quality shielded cable like this will outlast plenty of the gear around it. When you're building or servicing a Furuno system that needs to reach across the boat, the 001-186-340-10 is the genuine 30-meter cable that keeps your electronics talking to each other cleanly, connection after connection, season after season.
