It's a straight length extension with marine-grade waterproof connectors, so you can mount the camera where you want it and still get a solid picture at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the cable that came with your Garmin marine camera won't quite reach the helm, this is the fix. The 15M Camera Coax Cable is a straight video extension for the GC 245 surface-mount and GC 255 flush-mount cameras, and it gives you 15 meters, right around 49 feet, of clean signal run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink about where these cameras actually live on a boat. A transom camera keeping an eye on the outboards. An engine compartment camera down below. A cockpit or hardtop camera looking back over the deck. Even on a mid-size boat, the camera and the display end up a fair distance apart once you route around bulkheads and up to the dash. When the stock cable comes up short, you run one continuous factory coax from the camera to the display instead of splicing something together. One cable, two sealed ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a pure length variant of the same cable, just the shorter of the two. If your measured run lands inside 15 meters, this is the one to grab. And because it's a single continuous coax, you're not adding connection points where water and corrosion like to work their way in. In a marine video run, every extra plug is one more thing that can drop your picture a couple of seasons down the line. This keeps it to two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connectors are marine-grade and waterproof, and that matters more than it sounds until you've chased a foggy camera picture around the boat. A loose or damp coax connection shows up as snow, dropout, or an image that fades in and out with the sea state. Garmin's install spec calls for tightening both ends to about 8 pound-inches of torque with an 8mm wrench, so they seat firmly and stay sealed. Get them snug and you can forget about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe clear on one thing. This is a video signal cable only. It carries the camera's picture back to your chartplotter or monitor, and it does not carry power. The GC 245 and GC 255 draw power from a separate hardwired connection at the camera, so plan your run with both the coax and the power lead in mind. Most folks pull them together through the same conduit or gunnel channel, which keeps the whole job tidy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA quick word on the two cameras this feeds, since it helps to know what you're wiring. The GC 245 is the surface-mount version that sits on a bracket, handy for a transom or hardtop where you can't cut a hole. The GC 255 flush-mounts for a cleaner look where you can recess it. Either way the video comes back over this coax, and a clean run means you can put the camera exactly where it earns its keep instead of where the stock cable happens to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's the 15 meter for? Mid-size boats and shorter runs, mostly. If you've got a center console or a walkaround where the camera and helm aren't separated by a huge amount of deck, 15 meters usually has you covered with a little slack to spare. Measure your actual cable path, following the route through conduits and around bulkheads rather than the straight-line distance, and add some length for service loops at each end. If that number runs past 15 meters, step up to the 25. If it's inside, this is your cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward when you plan the route first. Pull the coax through your existing conduit or a clean gunnel run, keep it away from sharp edges and hot engine parts, and leave a service loop at each end. Route it alongside the camera's power lead where you can. Then torque both connectors to spec and check your picture before you close everything up. Clean, stable image? You're done. This is a part you install once and never think about again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15 meter length, about 49 feet, for mid-range camera-to-display runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect video extension for Garmin GC 245 and GC 255 marine cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle continuous coax, no added splice points to corrode or fail\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMarine-grade waterproof connectors on both ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory torque spec of about 8 pound-inches with an 8mm wrench for a sealed connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVideo signal only, pairs with the camera's separate hardwired power\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShorter of the two length options, with a 25M version for longer runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Garmin reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat cameras does this cable work with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's a video coax extension for the Garmin GC 245 surface-mount and GC 255 flush-mount marine cameras.
