Mercury – CAN Data Harness (10-Pin, No Resistors) | 1-Foot DTS Lead | 84-879312T44

Overview

Digital Throttle & Shift systems rely on clean communication between modules, and sometimes the network needs a short, resistor-free link to tie everything together. The Mercury 84-879312T44 CAN Data Harness provides a compact one-foot connection that carries CAN 1, CAN 2, and CAN 3 signals without built-in termination. It’s meant for DTS setups that already have proper network resistors in place and just need a clean, direct SmartCraft data path.

Key Features

• 1-Foot CAN Lead – Short extension designed for tight or compact DTS rigging runs.
• 10-Pin SmartCraft Design – Standard yellow DTS connector with all CAN lines active.
• No Internal Resistors – For systems where network termination already exists elsewhere.
• Full CAN Path – Carries CAN 1, CAN 2, and CAN 3 communication lines.
• DTS Application Ready – Built for Digital Throttle & Shift SmartCraft networks.
• OEM Fit & Feel – Factory connectors ensure a solid, reliable plug-in connection.

Compatibility

• SmartCraft DTS applications
• CAN 1 / CAN 2 / CAN 3 network branches
• 10-pin yellow DTS harness points
• SmartCraft CAN Bus components

Performance & Practical Benefits

This harness gives DTS systems a clean, resistor-free link between network components. The extra foot of length makes routing easier in tight helm areas or near junction points, and the connectors fit securely without forcing angles or tension. Once in place, the CAN signals pass through steadily, helping the DTS controls and related modules respond smoothly.

Why Buy OEM

SmartCraft communication is sensitive to connector quality and CAN signal integrity. Mercury’s OEM harness keeps the pin alignment true and the shielding intact, avoiding the glitches that cheaper cables can introduce. With the factory build, the DTS network remains consistent and easier to troubleshoot down the road.

FAQ

Q1: When should this 1-foot harness be used?
When a DTS setup needs a short SmartCraft data link but already has proper network termination elsewhere.

Q2: Does this harness include resistors?
No. It is a non-terminated CAN harness for systems that already have resistors installed.

Q3: Will this affect throttle or shift behavior?
No. It only carries CAN communication between DTS modules.

Q4: Can it be used on non-DTS systems?
It’s designed specifically for DTS yellow 10-pin SmartCraft connections.

Q5: Is installation simple?
Yes. It plugs inline with OEM connectors and routes like a standard DTS cable.
