Mercury – CAN Data Harness (10-Pin, No Resistors, Non-DTS) | 6-Foot SmartCraft Lead | 84-879968T6

Overview

Some SmartCraft CAN P networks only need a clean, simple extension—nothing extra, no added circuits, and no built-in termination. The Mercury 84-879968T6 CAN Data Harness fits that role perfectly. It provides six feet of straightforward, non-terminated SmartCraft cable using the blue 10-pin connector, giving you enough length to route the data line naturally through tighter helm areas or short rigging paths without forcing bends or stretching the original harness.

Key Features

• 6-Foot Extension – Adds practical length for short SmartCraft routing gaps.
• Blue 10-Pin Connector – Non-DTS SmartCraft plug designed for CAN P networks.
• No Termination – Harness contains no resistors; intended for systems with termination handled elsewhere.
• Pure CAN P Data Path – Carries SmartCraft CAN P communication cleanly with no extra circuits.
• Simple, Clean Design – No additional leads or branches—just a direct CAN extension.
• OEM-Grade Build – Factory connectors and shielding ensure long-term durability.

Compatibility

• SmartCraft CAN P networks
• Non-DTS (blue connector) SmartCraft systems
• Standard 10-pin SmartCraft helm or rigging connectors

Performance & Practical Benefits

This harness is ideal when you need a little extra room to route the SmartCraft data line without complicating the system. The six-foot length helps avoid overly tight cable runs behind the dash or along narrow rigging channels. Because it has no added circuits or built-in resistors, it keeps the network simple and predictable—just a clean CAN P extension that maintains steady communication between modules.

Why Buy OEM

SmartCraft networks rely on proper pin alignment, clean shielding, and stable connectors. Mercury’s OEM harness keeps the data path true to spec, reducing the chances of electrical noise or intermittent faults that cheaper cables can introduce. The factory connectors hold tight under vibration and daily marine use, keeping the system reliable over time.

FAQ

Q1: When is this 6-foot non-DTS harness useful?
When the SmartCraft CAN P cable needs a small extension to route cleanly behind the helm or to a nearby module.

Q2: Does this harness include termination resistors?
No. It is a non-terminated harness meant for systems with termination already in place.

Q3: Will this affect SmartCraft data or gauge behavior?
No. It simply extends the CAN P communication line.

Q4: Can this be used on DTS systems?
No. This is the blue non-DTS version intended for CAN P layouts only.

Q5: Is installation straightforward?
Yes. It plugs inline using the standard SmartCraft connectors.
