It mounts in a 1-1\/8 in. (29 mm) hole, uses a prewired 5 ft. (1.52 m) cable, and carries an IP45 rating with the cover closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn boats where the stereo sits inside the cabin, console, or electronics space, this gives you a practical access point at the dash instead of leaving a loose cable run exposed. The tethered cap helps keep dust and spray off the port when it is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB 2.0 extension for bringing a stereo or other onboard USB connection to the dash or cockpit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrewired 5 ft.

The 5 ft. cable works for many helm, console, and cabin layouts, but it is still worth checking the routing path before drilling the cutout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe round dash-mount format works well where you want a fixed USB access point at the helm without leaving the source unit exposed. In more open mounting locations, keeping the cap closed between uses helps the port stay protected from normal cockpit spray and dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fits boats that keep the head unit protected inside the console or cabin and still want phone or tablet access from the cockpit. It makes sense on runabouts, center consoles, and cruising boats where music control happens at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023052763317,"sku":"QBP863184","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1329802_qbp863184.jpg?v=1780191638","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp863184","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
