Prodlužovací kabel CCU - 5 m

This extension cable is designed to extend the range of the Course Computer Unit (CCU) of your Garmin autopilot relative to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). It allows positioning the CCU further from the ECU for increased installation flexibility.

This Garmin CCU extension cable is 5 metres long, which is approximately 16.4 feet.

Yes, this 5-metre extension cable is longer than the standard cables usually supplied with autopilots, which are typically 3 metres long. This provides greater flexibility for positioning the components of your system.

Yes, this cable has a robust construction that ensures durability specifically suited to the marine environment, making it resistant to harsh sea conditions.

The product reference for this Garmin CCU extension cable is 010-11156-00.

Yes, this is a genuine Garmin extension cable, identified by the Garmin brand and part number 010-11156-00.

The CCU (Course Computer Unit) is the heading computer unit, responsible for processing data for the autopilot. The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is the electronic control unit, which manages signals and power for the system. This cable allows physically separating the CCU from the ECU.

This extension cable is compatible with a range of Garmin autopilot systems, specifically including GHP 10 systems and GHP Reactor hydraulic autopilot systems.

The product description states compatibility with GHP 10 and GHP Reactor systems. For other Garmin autopilot models, it is recommended to verify specific compatibility with your device’s manual or contact Garmin support.

No, this cable is a specific accessory designed and manufactured by Garmin for its own autopilot systems. It is not guaranteed to be compatible with equipment from other brands.

No, this cable is an extension. It is designed to be used in addition to existing cables when the distance between the CCU and the ECU exceeds the length of the standard supplied cable, and not to replace a direct connection cable.

With its 5-metre length, this cable simplifies routing in complex spaces or through bulkheads. It allows greater flexibility to position the compass calculation unit (CCU) in the optimal location on your boat, even if that location is far from the electronic control unit (ECU).

Yes, during routing, it is important to avoid sources of electromagnetic interference, protect the cable from chafing and pinching, and ensure it is properly secured to prevent excessive movement caused by vibrations or boat motion. Its robustness is designed for the marine environment, but careful installation will extend its lifespan.

The product description does not mention the possibility of chaining multiple extension cables. For optimal performance of the autopilot system, it is generally recommended to limit the total cable length. Adding multiple extension cables could potentially affect signal quality. It is preferable to consult the installation manual of your Garmin autopilot or a professional.

The product is an extension cable. The specific installation instructions for integrating this cable into your Garmin autopilot system are typically found in your autopilot's installation manual, which details the connection diagrams for the CCU and ECU units.

Installing this extension cable typically involves connecting it between the compass calculation unit (CCU) and the electronic control unit (ECU). No specific tools are usually required for the connection itself, but cable routing tools (clamps, grommets, etc.) may be necessary for a clean and secure installation on the boat.

The CCU must be installed in a stable location, protected from excessive vibration and magnetic interference, and ideally as close as possible to the boat’s longitudinal axis for accurate heading measurement. The 5-meter extension cable gives you more flexibility to choose this optimal location.

Designed for the marine environment, the cable is robust and resistant to humid conditions. However, it is still recommended to ensure that connections are properly protected from direct immersion or intense water spray, in accordance with Garmin's installation guidelines for marine electronic equipment.

This cable is designed by Garmin to maintain optimal performance of your autopilot. Its 5-meter length is specified to allow extension without significant signal degradation, provided it is installed correctly and without interference.

Although the product description does not provide specific details about shielding, Garmin cables designed for marine autopilot systems are generally manufactured to high specifications to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure reliable signal transmission in the marine environment.
