Product Description
Humminbird 720101-1 (9 M SIDB Y) | HELIX Side Imaging & 2D Sonar Splitter Cable
Unlock the full potential of your Humminbird HELIX unit with the 720101-1 (9 M SIDB Y) splitter cable. Designed for anglers who refuse to compromise on high-speed performance, this "Y" cable allows your control head to communicate with two transducers simultaneously.
By separating the Side Imaging and 2D Sonar signals, you can mount a dedicated high-speed 2D transducer (like an in-hull XP 9 20) for accurate depth readings at wide-open throttle, while keeping your Side Imaging transducer positioned for crystal-clear structure scans at trolling speeds.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Dual Transducer Integration: Connects a Side Imaging/Down Imaging transducer and a separate 2D sonar transducer to a single HELIX control head.
-
High-Speed Accuracy: Perfect for fiberglass boats where transom-mounted SI transducers may lose bottom contact at high speeds.
-
Plug-and-Play Installation: Features standard Humminbird 9-pin connectors for a secure, waterproof fit.
-
Reliable Performance: Built with heavy-duty shielding to prevent signal interference and ensure data integrity in harsh marine environments.

Maintenance & Pro-Tips
While your sonar cables handle the data, your mechanical gear handles the fish. To ensure your entire setup is performing at peak efficiency, we recommend regular maintenance of your fishing reels.
-
Corrosion Protection: Electronics and saltwater don't mix. While the 9 M SIDB Y cable is waterproof, keeping your reel's moving parts protected is just as vital.
-
Recommended Lubrication: Use Deuthlon Reel Oil for high-speed bearings and Deuthlon Reel Grease for main gears and drag systems. Deuthlon's advanced dust-shield technology ensures that even in sandy or salt-heavy environments, your gear remains smooth and responsive.
