Overview

The Garmin 010-11425-05 is a 6 ft (1.8 m) threaded NMEA 0183 cable with a right-angle connector for connecting a compatible GPSMAP chartplotter to NMEA 0183 data wiring.

The right-angle plug keeps the connection close to the back of the display, which helps when the unit is flush-mounted in a tight helm or electronics box. It is also a solid choice when you are replacing a damaged cable and want the same threaded fit at the chartplotter.

Key features

• 6 ft (1.8 m) cable length for typical helm-to-junction runs
• Threaded connector with a right-angle profile to reduce clearance behind a flush-mounted display
• NMEA 0183 data interface for systems that still exchange information over NMEA 0183
• Made for GPSMAP units that use the threaded NMEA 0183 connection at the back of the display

Compatibility and fit

This cable fits select Garmin GPSMAP chartplotters that accept a threaded NMEA 0183 cable, including GPSMAP 6208, 6212, 7015, 7212, and 7215. Confirm your unit has the threaded NMEA 0183 port, as Garmin models that use a different connector style will require a different cable.

Installation and setup

Route the cable where it will not chafe on sharp fiberglass edges or hinge points, and leave a small service loop behind the display so the connector is not carrying the cable load. Hand-tighten the threaded collar and avoid putting twist into the cable when dressing it into the console.

For best signal stability on boats with busy electrical systems, keep the run separated from high-current DC feeds and ignition wiring where practical, and secure the cable at intervals so vibration does not work the connector loose over time.

On-board use

This is a good match when a GPSMAP display needs NMEA 0183 data connections for a VHF, AIS, or other onboard electronics that are still wired for NMEA 0183. It also suits tight installs where a straight connector would press into the bulkhead or force an uncomfortable bend right at the back of the unit.
