Imagine navigating busy waters or anchoring in a secluded cove, needing quick access to your VHF radio from anywhere on deck. That’s where this robust extension cable steps in, giving your B&G H100 or Simrad HS100 wired handset the freedom to reach 20 meters (about 65 feet) without compromising signal quality or durability. Crafted for the relentless marine environment, it lets you mount your handset exactly where it makes sense—whether at the helm, in the cabin, or out on the bow.
Unlock Flexible Communication Onboard
Short cables limit your setup options, forcing handsets into awkward spots. This extension changes that, supporting seamless integration with RS90 and V90 series VHF radios. Its black sheath blends discreetly with most vessel aesthetics while shielding against saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, and constant vibration. Boaters rave about the added convenience for family cruises, fishing trips, or professional operations, ensuring you’re always connected without drilling extra holes or dealing with signal drop-offs.

Quick Installation Tips for Seamless Results
Plan your route: Avoid sharp bends and heat sources to prevent wear—use cable clips for tidy runs along bulkheads.
Prep the mount: The included bulkhead fitting secures firmly; apply marine sealant around edges for waterproofing.
Test thoroughly: Power up your VHF post-install to verify clear audio and full functionality across the full length.
Protect connections: Sleeve ends with heat-shrink tubing if exposed to elements, extending longevity.
Most users complete the job in under an hour, transforming rigid comms into a versatile system tailored to their boat’s layout.
Care and Longevity in Saltwater Environments
To keep it performing season after season, rinse with fresh water after exposure to spray, inspect for frays annually, and store coiled loosely during off-season. This proactive approach mirrors how pros maintain gear for uninterrupted reliability when it matters most.
