Description
Humminbird Y-Cable for SOLIX/APEX Side Imaging | Boat Supply Store
Optimize your Humminbird SOLIX or APEX sonar by independently routing two Side Imaging transducers from a single sonar input. This 30-inch Y-cable is engineered to overcome hull obstructions or transducer placement limitations, ensuring distinct port and starboard imaging for comprehensive underwater structure analysis. Furthermore, it facilitates the integration of a separate high-speed 2D transducer, providing accurate depth readings even at higher vessel velocities.
Key Features
- Split Side Imaging signal for two transducers on one sonar input.
- Enable independent port and starboard Side Imaging sonar feeds.
- Integrate a separate high-speed 2D transducer for advanced depth performance.
- Leverage Transducer ID for seamless Airmar accessory transducer recognition.
- Achieve clearer, more detailed underwater views by overcoming placement challenges.
- Expand sonar capabilities on SOLIX and APEX series chartplotters.
- Install with confidence due to reliable Humminbird engineering.
- Benefit from a 30" (76 cm) cable length for flexible routing.
