YB Tracking YB3i fixed beacon - 10 meter cable

This cable is designed to connect a fixed Yellow Brick satellite tracking beacon to your boat's electrical system. It provides continuous power to the device and data transmission.

This cable is exactly 10 meters long, providing ample flexibility to relocate the beacon to an unobstructed area while reaching your electrical panel.

This cable is specifically designed for use with Yellow Brick fixed tracking beacons (YB Tracking).

No, this wiring is exclusively intended for installation on Yellow Brick beacon models designed for permanent mounting on a vessel.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed for demanding marine environments. Its robust jacket resists saltwater exposure, humidity, and weather conditions encountered during offshore sailing.

Yes. The cable is designed with UV protection to prevent degradation or brittleness when exposed to sunlight on the deck or the boat's arch.

Using this dedicated cable allows the beacon to be powered continuously from the boat's electrical panel. This eliminates risks related to battery autonomy and ensures uninterrupted tracking, ideal for long offshore passages.

The 10-meter cable allows you to install the beacon in a completely obstruction-free zone (such as a davit, a balcony, or a mast) to ensure optimal reception of Iridium and GPS signals.

The cable must be routed from the beacon's location to your electrical panel. It is recommended to connect it to a dedicated and protected circuit to ensure stable power supply.

Yes, as with any marine electronic equipment connected to the electrical panel, it is highly recommended to install an appropriate protective fuse on the positive power line of the cable.

No, this cable is designed to provide both electrical power to the beacon and reliable data transmission between the tracking unit and the onboard systems.

It is possible to shorten the cable on the electrical panel side if you have marine wiring skills, but it is often better to neatly coil the excess in a dry location to preserve the integrity of the original wiring.

This cable is specifically manufactured and tested for YB Tracking beacons. Its use with other brands is not recommended due to the connectors and wiring specifications specific to each manufacturer.

While installation can be performed by a knowledgeable sailor, it is recommended to hire a marine electrician to ensure watertight cable routing through bulkheads and secure connection to the electrical panel.

This product corresponds only to the 10-metre cable. Mounting accessories such as gland nuts or watertight deck glands must be purchased separately according to your deck configuration.

Yes, this installation cable is perfectly suited to any type of vessel, whether a sailboat or a powerboat, provided it has an onboard electrical system to power the beacon.

It is recommended to use marine-grade heat-shrink tubing or self-amalgamating tape at electrical connections inside the boat to prevent corrosion caused by salt air.

Yes, this is an original cable from the YB Tracking brand, ensuring perfect compatibility and maximum reliability with your Yellow Brick fixed beacon.

Yes, the cable is designed to offer good flexibility, making it easier to route through conduits, tubular handrails, or bulkheads on your boat during installation.

If the distance between the beacon and the electrical panel exceeds 10 meters, it is advisable to contact a specialist technician to assess the possibility of an extension without voltage drop or data corruption.
