Mercury – CAN Data Harness (10-Pin, No Resistors) | 6-Foot DTS Lead | 84-8M0210757

Overview

DTS rigging often needs a little extra length to keep the wiring relaxed and routed cleanly through the helm. The Mercury 84-8M0210757 CAN Data Harness adds six feet of non-terminated SmartCraft cable, giving you a longer, cleaner path between DTS modules without altering the system’s existing network termination. It carries CAN 1, CAN 2, and CAN 3, making it a solid extension for Digital Throttle & Shift setups that need more reach.

Key Features

• 6-Foot CAN Extension – Adds useful length for DTS rigs with wider console spans or deeper routing paths.
• 10-Pin DTS Connector – Standard yellow SmartCraft plug carrying all CAN channels.
• No Termination – Designed for networks that already have proper CAN resistors in place.
• Full CAN Support – Transmits CAN 1, CAN 2, and CAN 3 cleanly across the extension.
• Built for DTS – Intended specifically for Digital Throttle & Shift SmartCraft systems.
• OEM Fit & Finish – Factory connectors provide a secure, dependable plug-in connection.

Compatibility

• SmartCraft DTS systems
• CAN 1 / CAN 2 / CAN 3 SmartCraft networks
• Yellow 10-pin DTS harness ports
• SmartCraft CAN Bus modules

Performance & Practical Benefits

This harness makes long DTS routing runs easier by giving you enough slack to avoid sharp bends and tight pulls behind the helm. It’s especially helpful when modules sit farther apart or the wiring has to move around structural bulkheads. Because it’s a non-terminated harness, it won’t interfere with resistor placement already built into the system. Once installed, CAN communication stays smooth and stable.

Why Buy OEM

DTS communication depends on clean, properly shielded CAN wiring. Mercury’s OEM harness maintains the signal integrity, pin alignment, and connector quality needed for reliable throttle and shift behavior. Aftermarket versions often introduce noise or inconsistent data flow, but the factory harness keeps things predictable in real-world marine conditions.

FAQ

Q1: When is the 6-foot DTS CAN harness the right choice?
When the standard DTS cable won’t reach cleanly, and extra length is needed to route the harness properly.

Q2: Does this harness contain resistors?
No. It’s a non-terminated CAN harness for DTS networks with termination handled elsewhere.

Q3: Will using this affect throttle or shift feel?
No. It only extends the CAN communication path.

Q4: Can this work on non-DTS SmartCraft systems?
It’s designed specifically for the yellow 10-pin DTS SmartCraft interface.

Q5: Is installation simple?
Yes. It connects inline with OEM fittings and routes like any standard DTS cable.
