The Humminbird Cable Transducer Splitter With Side Imaging & DB APX XPLl SLX lets one Apex or Solix head unit run Side Imaging and Dual Beam transducers from a single sonar port, handy on consoles under 1 m wide. The cable length suits typical dash runs between 300 mm and 800 mm so you can mount screens close to steering wheels and still route the loom through a 20 mm rigging tube without tight bends.

The splitter uses factory Humminbird multi-pin plugs with corrosion-resistant contacts that handle regular salt spray and cockpit washdowns. The outer jacket is marine-grade material suited to ambient temperatures from cool southern bays to cabins hitting 40°C in the northern sun. The compact diameter fits alongside power and NMEA looms in standard conduit, which keeps installs tidy on boats from the river to the reef. It is a smart buy when you want clean sonar without re-cabling the whole rig.

Q: Can this splitter run both Side Imaging and standard 2D sonar at the same time?

Yes, it is made to connect a Side Imaging transducer and a Dual Beam transducer to one compatible Humminbird head unit. This lets the unit read Side Imaging data from one plug and traditional sonar from the other. The head unit handles the switching and display of each sonar mode. You still manage all views from the single screen at the helm.

Q: Do I need any extra adapters for Apex or Solix units?

No, the splitter has Humminbird-style multi-pin connectors that plug straight into compatible Apex or Solix ports. You only need to match the transducers and head unit to the same connector style. Always check your model number against the connector pattern on the cable. If the pins and collar match, the splitter will seat correctly.

Q: Is the cable suitable for use in open cockpits exposed to spray?

Yes, the outer jacket and connector design are suited to normal marine use where cables see spray and occasional washdowns. The plugs form a tight fit to help keep moisture away from the contacts. You should still route the cable off the deck and avoid constant submersion. A tidy run through conduit or under-gunwale channels will give the best service life.

Q: Can I extend this splitter with another generic cable?

It is not recommended to add non-matching extensions to sonar cabling. Extra joins and unmatched cable types can add signal loss and introduce noise. For runs longer than your current layout, stick with genuine Humminbird cabling in the signal path. This approach keeps the impedance and shielding consistent so the sounder can perform as intended.
