Description
- 10m Cable
- Conforms to the IMO SN/Circ.227
- Can use to extend any Pilot Plug
- Allows you to extend the cable without increasing the USB cable length that has a limit of 5m
All AIS Class A Transponders have a special Pilot Plug that is intended to allow a Commercial Pilot to quickly and reliably connect their laptop PC to the Class A Transponder when they arrive onboard.
Often on larger vessels the normal 1-2m length of the Pilot Plug can make connecting to the vessels Class A transponder difficult. Therefore as most Pilot Plug cables use a USB interface that has a limit of 5m extending the cable can be problematic.
The Digital Yacht Pilot Plug extension cable extends the NMEA0183 wiring and not the USB wiring. As a result this makes it possible to extend up to 10m (or more). Plus the length of the existing Pilot Plug cable.
