Garmin Transducer Extension Cables

1. 4-pin Transducer Extension Cable (Part Number 010-11617-10): This is designed for connecting a 4-pin transducer to your sonar unit, offering an additional 10 feet (3 meters) of length. It's suitable for transducers that come with a 4-pin connector, which are typically used in some of Garmin's fishfinder and combo marine devices.

2. 8-pin Transducer Extension Cable (Part Number 010-11617-50): This cable can extend the cable length of your compatible 8-pin transducer by either 10 feet (3 meters) or 30 feet (9 meters). The 8-pin connection is common in slightly more advanced or newer models of Garmin's marine devices, offering better data transfer capabilities than the 4-pin connectors.

3. 12-pin Extension Cable for Garmin Scanning Transducers (Part Number 010-11617-32): This extension cable is available in lengths of either 10 feet (3 meters) or 30 feet (9 meters) and supports 12-pin Airmar transducers with XID. The 12-pin connector is typically used for Garmin's high-end scanning transducers, including sidevu, clearvu, and traditional CHIRP models. These connectors support a wide range of sonar capabilities and are designed for use with Garmin's more advanced sonar units.

When using an extension cable, it's important to ensure that it is fully compatible with both your transducer and sonar unit to maintain the integrity of the sonar data transmission. Also, keep in mind that extending the cable length can sometimes introduce signal degradation or loss, although this is generally minimal and accounted for in the design of these cables and the devices they connect to. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for installation and use to ensure optimal performance of your sonar system.
