Garmin CCU extension cable with threaded collar 15 m

This cable is designed to extend the range of the course computer unit (CCU) in your Garmin autopilot system. It allows you to relocate the CCU up to 15 meters from the electronic control unit (ECU), providing greater installation flexibility aboard your vessel.

This extension cable is 15 meters long (approximately 49.2 feet).

The threaded collar is a connection mechanism that ensures a firm and secure attachment between the cable and compatible units. It is essential to prevent accidental disconnections, especially in a marine environment subject to vibrations and movements.

Yes, this cable is made from marine-grade materials specifically selected for their resistance to corrosion and harsh environmental conditions found at sea, which helps extend its operational lifespan.

Yes, this cable’s design is engineered to be flexible, making routing and installation much easier even in tight or complex spaces aboard your vessel.

The CCU (Course Computer Unit) is the component that detects and transmits heading data to the system. The ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is the brain of the autopilot system, receiving data from the CCU and controlling the rudder to maintain course.

It is sometimes necessary to relocate the CCU to install it in a location on the vessel where it can obtain optimal heading readings, away from magnetic interference or other electronic equipment. This cable enables this flexibility in placement.

Yes, this is an official Garmin extension cable, identified by part number 010-11156-31.

This cable is compatible with a range of Garmin autopilot systems, including:

The GHP 12The GHP 20 Marine Autopilot System with SmartPumpThe GHP Reactor Hydraulic Corepack with SmartPumpThe GHP Reactor Mechanical/Retrofit/Solenoid CorepackThe Reactor 40 Hydraulic AutopilotThe Reactor 40 Hydraulic Corepack

Yes, the Garmin threaded-clamp CCU extension cable (15m) is fully compatible with the Garmin GHP 12 autopilot system.

Yes, this extension cable is compatible with GHP Reactor Hydraulic Corepack systems equipped with a SmartPump.

Yes, this extension cable is specifically designed to be compatible with the Reactor 40 Hydraulic Autopilot systems.

No, this cable is a proprietary Garmin accessory designed specifically for use with the listed Garmin autopilot systems. It is not guaranteed to work with equipment from other brands.

The standard maximum distance between the CCU and the ECU without using this extension cable is generally 3 meters. This 15-meter cable allows exceeding this limit.

For a reliable connection, ensure the connectors are clean and dry. Hand-tighten the threaded clamp until snug, but do not overtighten. Check that the connection is secure to prevent unintended disconnection.

When routing, it is advisable to avoid paths near high-power cables, motors, or other sources of electromagnetic interference. Use cable ties to secure it firmly and prevent it from rubbing against sharp edges or being pinched, to preserve its integrity.

The manufacturer’s specifications do not allow for the serial connection of multiple extension cables of this type. To ensure system performance and reliability, it is recommended to adhere to the single 15-meter length provided by this cable.

No, this extension cable is designed by Garmin to maintain signal integrity and autopilot performance. Its design and quality ensure that the CCU signal is reliably transmitted to the ECU over the full 15-meter length.

Yes, as an official Garmin product, this extension cable is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty. For specific warranty details, it is recommended to consult the documentation provided by Garmin or their official website.

The cable is made with marine-grade materials and connectors designed to withstand the corrosive environment of saltwater and humidity, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
