Garmin 8-Pin Chirp Cable

This Airmar cable connects compatible Garmin marine electronics using an 8-pin interface. It is built for Chirp sonar systems and measures one metre in length. The accessory suits installers fitting or extending a transducer link on a Garmin network.

One-metre reach limits placement

The fixed one-metre length restricts how far the transducer can sit from the display or junction box. Runs that need more distance will require a different cable or an approved extension. The 8-pin connector only fits Garmin equipment that uses this specific pinout.

Moulded connectors resist corrosion

Moulded plugs seal the contacts against salt spray and vibration on open decks. The 8-pin keying prevents misalignment during installation. No extra mounting hardware is included, so the cable relies on the device ports for physical support.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 1-metre cable or a longer version for my Garmin setup?

Select the 1-metre length when the transducer mounts close to the Garmin unit; longer versions exist for wider console layouts.

What does the Chirp designation mean once the cable is connected to my sounder?

It carries the wide-band Chirp sonar signals from an Airmar transducer to the Garmin 8-pin port, enabling clearer target separation.

What does the 8-pin Garmin connector cap in practice?

The 8-pin interface limits use to Garmin sounders with that exact socket; it will not fit older 6-pin or newer 12-pin Garmin ports.
