Mercury – CAN Data Harness (10-Pin, No Resistors, Non-DTS) | 15-Foot SmartCraft Lead | 84-879968T15

Overview

Some SmartCraft installations need a simple, no-frills extension to reach across a wider helm or longer routing path. The Mercury 84-879968T15 CAN Data Harness provides fifteen feet of clean, non-terminated SmartCraft cable using the blue 10-pin connector, giving CAN P networks the extra space they need without adding unused circuits or termination. It’s a straightforward way to extend the data path and keep the network tidy on larger boats.

Key Features

• 15-Foot Extension – Adds generous length for wide-beam helms and deep console runs.
• Blue Non-DTS Connector – Standard SmartCraft plug built for CAN P networks.
• No Termination – Contains no resistors, ideal for systems with termination already in place.
• Pure Data Path – Carries CAN P communication cleanly without extra leads or add-ons.
• Straightforward Rigging – Simple extension with no branches or additional circuits.
• OEM-Grade Construction – Factory connectors and proper shielding ensure long-term reliability.

Compatibility

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

Performance & Practical Benefits

This harness gives you enough length to route SmartCraft wiring cleanly around obstacles, along bulkheads, or across wider helm layouts without stressing the original cable. Because it has no added circuits or resistors, it keeps the network simple and predictable, making troubleshooting and future upgrades easier. Once connected, the CAN P communication remains stable across the full run.

Why Buy OEM

SmartCraft networks depend on accurate pin alignment and stable, well-shielded wiring. Mercury’s OEM harness ensures clean communication and a proper fit, avoiding the loose connections or electrical noise that cheaper cables often introduce. With factory-grade construction, the harness stays dependable through vibration, heat, and everyday marine use.

FAQ

Q1: When is this 15-foot non-DTS harness a good choice?
When a CAN P network needs extra routing length without added circuits or built-in termination.

Q2: Does this harness include resistors?
No. It’s meant for systems where termination is already installed elsewhere.

Q3: Will it affect how SmartCraft modules communicate?
No. It simply extends the CAN P line.

Q4: Can this be used with DTS systems?
No. This is the blue non-DTS harness for CAN P networks only.

Q5: Is installation straightforward?
Yes. It plugs inline with OEM connectors like any standard SmartCraft cable.
