Furuno Head/NMEA 10m Cable - 1 x 6 Pin

The Furuno Head/NMEA 10m Cable with 1 x 6 Pin connector is a purpose-built marine-grade interconnect solution designed for Furuno navigation and chartplotter systems. This fluxgate compass cable bridges your Furuno head unit to external sensors and displays, making it essential for vessels relying on accurate magnetic heading data and NMEA protocol communication. Whether you're integrating a new fluxgate compass, replacing a damaged line, or expanding your marine electronics network, this 10-meter extension provides the critical signal integrity required in demanding saltwater and freshwater environments.

Manufactured to Furuno's exacting marine standards (MPN 000-154-036), this NMEA-compliant cable features a robust 6-pin pigtail configuration that ensures secure, corrosion-resistant connections in wet-engine-room and deck-mounted installations. The 10-meter length eliminates the need for intermediate splitters and reduces signal degradation across longer runs, while the shielded twisted-pair construction minimizes electromagnetic interference—critical for maintaining heading accuracy when operating alongside VHF radios, radar arrays, and autopilot systems. Marine-grade jacketing protects against UV exposure, salt spray, and mechanical abrasion, extending service life in the harshest offshore conditions.

Navigation professionals, fishing vessel operators, and marine integrators routinely specify this cable when upgrading legacy systems or troubleshooting compass integration faults. It is fully compatible with Furuno GP32, GP33, GP35R, and other NMEA 0183-equipped chartplotters that accept 6-pin compass inputs. Installation is straightforward—simply connect the pigtail to your fluxgate compass module and route the shielded lead to your display unit, securing it away from high-current power runs. For optimal performance, ensure cable strain relief and avoid sharp bends that could compromise shielding integrity.
