Use it alongside a compatible HDMI cable (sold separately) when you want the computer’s video on the chartplotter while sending touch input back to the computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe connection is built for helm use where spray and vibration are normal, and it supports touchscreen interaction on the chartplotter, including on-screen keyboard control when the computer is connected. It works with Apple computers and with Windows 7, 8, or 10 systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e15-foot (4.6 m) cable length for routing from a helm display to a nav station or electronics cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects GPSMAP 8400\/8600 series chartplotters to a computer through USB for touch control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePairs with a compatible HDMI cable (sold separately) for the video side of the connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection that resists water and stays secure in typical marine mounting locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports touchscreen operation on the chartplotter, including interaction with an on-screen keyboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComputer compatibility: Apple and Windows 7, 8, or 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the cable run the same way you would any helm electronics wiring: avoid sharp bends, protect it from chafe at bulkhead pass-throughs, and leave enough service loop behind the display so the unit can be pulled forward for service. If your computer is mounted under a console or inside a cabin cabinet, the 15-foot length helps reach without putting strain on the connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the USB and HDMI runs tidy and secured so vibration does not work them loose over time. A small drip loop near the connection point is a simple way to reduce the chance of water tracking down the cable toward electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is for Garmin GPSMAP 8400 and 8600 series chartplotters. On the computer side, you will also need an available USB port and a compatible HDMI connection for video (HDMI cable not included). If your setup uses a different GPSMAP series or a different video interface, confirm compatibility before routing cables through the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a practical add-on for boats that keep a laptop or small PC on board and want to interact with it from the helm display. It can also make sense on larger center consoles, sportfishing boats, and pilothouse setups where the computer is mounted out of reach but you still want touch control at the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter washdowns, check that the connection area is dry and that the cable is still secured at clamps and tie points. If the cable passes through a high-traffic locker or rigging tube, inspect the jacket occasionally for wear and re-protect any spots that may rub under vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269489160373,"sku":"QBP318793","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300144_qbp318793.jpg?v=1771544251","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp318793","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
