Mercury – CAN Data Harness (10-Pin, No Resistors, Non-DTS) | 10-Foot SmartCraft Lead | 84-879968T10

Overview

Some helm layouts need a clean SmartCraft extension with just a little more reach—and this harness is built exactly for that. The Mercury 84-879968T10 CAN Data Harness provides ten feet of non-terminated SmartCraft cable using the blue 10-pin connector, giving CAN P networks the space they need without adding unnecessary complexity. It also includes leads for the horn and Link Gauge, keeping those functions neatly tied into the same harness for a simpler rig behind the dash.

Key Features

• 10-Foot Extension – Adds extra length for wider helms and deeper routing paths.
• Non-DTS Blue Connector – Standard SmartCraft plug for CAN P networks not using DTS.
• No Built-In Resistors – Designed for systems that already have proper termination elsewhere.
• Horn & Link Gauge Leads – Provides clean tie-in points for these functions without extra adapters.
• Pure CAN P Data Path – Moves CAN P communication cleanly through the harness.
• OEM Connector Quality – Factory-grade connectors ensure a secure, reliable fit.

Compatibility

• SmartCraft CAN P networks
• Non-DTS SmartCraft systems (blue connector)
• SmartCraft horn circuits
• SmartCraft Link Gauge setups

Performance & Practical Benefits

This harness gives you the reach needed to route SmartCraft wiring around bulkheads, behind larger consoles, or through tight rigging channels. The added horn and Link Gauge leads help reduce clutter by keeping those connections within the same harness run. Because it has no built-in resistors, it works seamlessly with networks where termination is already handled at other points. Once installed, CAN P communication remains clean and steady.

Why Buy OEM

SmartCraft relies on precise pin alignment and stable shielding to keep data flowing accurately. Mercury’s OEM harness ensures the connection stays tight and the signals remain clear—something aftermarket extensions often struggle with. The factory build is made to withstand vibration, moisture, and the everyday stresses of marine use.

FAQ

Q1: When should I use this 10-foot non-DTS harness?
When a CAN P network needs extra length and clean tie-ins for horn and Link Gauge connections.

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

Q3: Will this affect how SmartCraft modules communicate?
No. It simply extends the data path and adds clean connection points.

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

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