NMEA 0183 power/horn cable

The Garmin 010-12769-01 cable is a multifunctional wiring harness designed for marine devices. It powers compatible devices, establishes NMEA 0183 communication with external equipment, and connects visual or audio alerts such as a lamp or foghorn.

The main features of this cable include:

Power supply to compatible marine devices. Bidirectional NMEA 0183 data communication. Dedicated connection for a horn or foghorn to emit alerts.

No, this cable has multiple uses. In addition to providing power, it enables data communication via the NMEA 0183 protocol and has specific connections for a foghorn or a lamp, facilitating the integration of alert systems.

Yes, the cable includes dedicated connections for a lamp or a foghorn. This means it is designed to facilitate the emission of visual or sound alerts on board, depending on the device you choose to connect.

Yes, this cable serves as a standard accessory for integrating sensors and alarms on Garmin systems that are based on the NMEA 0183 protocol.

The product reference, or SKU, for this Garmin cable is 010-12769-01.

Yes, this is an official Garmin product, identified by its manufacturer reference 010-12769-01.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed to extend the functionality of compatible marine devices and is intended for use in a marine environment.

An NMEA 0183 differential port, such as the one provided by this cable, is a data transmission method that uses two wires for each signal. This provides better immunity to electrical noise and more reliable transmissions over longer distances, which is essential for marine data exchange.

Yes, this cable typically provides a differential NMEA 0183 input and output port, which is essential for bidirectional data exchange with other equipment.

This cable is compatible with Garmin marine devices that use the NMEA 0183 protocol for communication and require a power and/or alarm connection. It is specifically listed as compatible with Garmin VHF radios, such as the VHF 315/315i series.

Yes, this cable is explicitly listed as compatible with Garmin VHF radios, including the VHF 315 and 315i series, for NMEA 0183 data transmission.

Yes, the cable is designed for NMEA 0183 communication, which is a universal standard. It can therefore be used to exchange data with compatible third-party NMEA 0183 equipment, such as autopilots or displays, provided that wiring and protocol specifications are met.

No, this cable is specifically designed for the NMEA 0183 protocol. It is not directly compatible with NMEA 2000 systems, which use a different protocol and connectors. For NMEA 2000 compatibility, a dedicated NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 cable or converter would be required.

This cable enables the exchange of NMEA 0183 data such as position, speed, and other relevant navigation data with third-party equipment like autopilots or displays.

Yes, this cable is suitable for NMEA 0183 data exchange with third-party equipment such as autopilots, enabling the transmission of position and speed data.

Yes, it can be used to connect NMEA 0183-compatible marine displays to show data such as position, speed, or other navigation information.

For any extension of NMEA 0183 or alarm wires, 22 AWG (0.33 mm²) wiring is recommended to ensure reliable data transmission.

For power and ground extensions, use a wire gauge suitable for the extension length and the electrical current required by the connected device. Always check the device specifications to determine the appropriate wire gauge.

The product description does not mention any specific software configuration required for the cable itself. Once physically connected, it should enable communication and power supply. However, the Garmin device or third-party equipment to which it is connected may require its own configuration to interpret and use NMEA 0183 data.
