Garmin Cortex VHF connection cable - 2 m

This cable is specifically designed for the Garmin Cortex system. It connects an external VHF radio to the Cortex hub, ensuring direct and functional connectivity for marine communication.

The Cortex® VHF connection cable is 2 meters (approximately 6 feet) long, making it easy to position equipment on board.

This cable is fitted with a BNC connector at one end, intended for the auxiliary VHF port of the Cortex hub, and a PL259 connector at the other end, for the antenna port of the external VHF radio.

Yes, this cable is included as standard with the Garmin Cortex M1 smartAIS system, highlighting its essential role in the system's communication architecture.

The part number for the Cortex® VHF connection cable is 010-13269-00.

Yes, this is a Garmin Cortex® VHF connection cable, specifically designed for integration with their systems.

Yes, at 2 meters in length, this cable is designed to simplify the positioning and connection of equipment, providing sufficient flexibility for a marine installation.

This cable is specifically designed for use with the Garmin Cortex hub.

This cable is designed to connect to an external VHF radio with an antenna port featuring a standard PL259 connector.

Yes, this cable allows the external VHF radio to use the AIS/VHF coupler integrated into the Cortex system, optimizing the installation and antenna management.

The cable is designed to connect to an external VHF radio via a standard PL259 connector. Its compatibility depends on the type of antenna connector present on your VHF model.

No, this cable is specifically designed for integration with the Garmin Cortex system and its hub.

If you want to connect an external VHF radio to the Cortex M1 hub to use its integrated AIS/VHF coupler, this cable is required. It is in fact included as standard with the Cortex M1 smartAIS system.

The BNC connector must be plugged into the Garmin Cortex hub's auxiliary VHF port, often labeled as a "splitter".

The PL259 connector must be connected to the external VHF radio's antenna port.

Installing this cable typically requires no special tools, as it uses standard screw or push-fit connections for BNC and PL259 connectors.

Yes, the BNC connector is for the Cortex hub (auxiliary VHF port/splitter) and the PL259 connector is for the external VHF radio (antenna port).

No, this cable is a connection cable for integrating your external VHF radio into the Cortex system. It does not alter your antenna’s range but allows the radio to use the Cortex’s integrated AIS/VHF coupler.

It is generally recommended to use cables of the appropriate length to minimize signal loss. Adding extensions or adapters may potentially degrade system performance. It is best to use the cable as-is.

As a Garmin product designed for marine applications with the Cortex system, this cable is made with materials suited to withstand typical marine environmental conditions.
