Mercury – CAN Data Harness (10-Pin, No Resistors, Non-DTS) | 50-Foot SmartCraft Lead | 84-879968T50

Overview

Some boats—especially large offshore rigs, flybridge setups, or long twin-station layouts—need a SmartCraft cable that can cover serious distance without adding extra circuits or termination. The Mercury 84-879968T50 CAN Data Harness delivers fifty full feet of non-terminated SmartCraft wiring using the blue 10-pin connector, built specifically for CAN P networks that do not use DTS. It’s a straight, clean extension made for long runs where the network needs reach, not complexity.

Key Features

• 50-Foot Extension – Maximum-length SmartCraft run for large boats and multi-level layouts.
• Blue 10-Pin Connector – Non-DTS SmartCraft plug designed for CAN P networks only.
• No Internal Resistors – For systems with termination handled at existing network endpoints.
• Pure CAN P Path – Straight data connection with no added branches or breakout circuits.
• Flexible Rigging Options – Ideal for long console spans, flybridge drops, or aft-to-helm chases.
• OEM Build Quality – Factory connectors and shielding provide a secure, marine-grade connection.

Compatibility

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

Performance & Practical Benefits

This harness gives your SmartCraft CAN P network the distance it needs to reach across wide beams, tall consoles, or multi-station configurations. The fifty-foot length allows cleaner routing around structural obstacles, inside long chases, or up and down multiple levels without stretching the cable. Because it has no built-in resistors or branching leads, the network remains simple and predictable—just a clean extension that maintains stable communication.

Why Buy OEM

SmartCraft wiring needs precise pin alignment, solid shielding, and tight-fitting connectors to keep data clean, especially over long distances. Mercury’s OEM harness maintains those standards across the full fifty feet, avoiding the noise, dropouts, or connector looseness that often show up with long aftermarket cables. The factory build holds steady through vibration, heat, and daily marine use.

FAQ

Q1: When is a 50-foot non-DTS SmartCraft harness necessary?
When a CAN P network must span long distances across large helms, flybridge layouts, or extended rigging runs.

Q2: Does this harness include termination resistors?
No. It’s for networks where termination already exists elsewhere.

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

Q4: Can this be used on DTS systems?
No. The blue connector is built strictly for non-DTS CAN P layouts.

Q5: Is installation difficult?
No. It uses standard SmartCraft connectors and routes like any other cable—just with more length to manage.
