The Furuno 165T-50/200-SS260 is a 1 kW stainless steel thru-hull transducer designed for the DFF3D multi-beam sonar system. This single unit combines 50/200 kHz sounder elements with DFF3D sensing to deliver high-performance hull imaging on demanding vessels.
-
Model: 165T-50/200-SS260
-
Power rating: 1 kW
-
Frequencies: 50 kHz and 200 kHz sounder elements; DFF3D operating at 165 kHz
-
Material / mounting: Stainless steel thru-hull with a high-speed fairing block; keel-flush option for flush mounting without a fairing block
-
Integrated sensors: Built-in motion sensor; built-in temperature sensor
-
Transducer elements: 1 kW, 50/200 kHz with 20°/6° beam angles for the sounder elements (same elements as the Airmar B164)
-
Cables / connectors: 12 m cables with 10-pin connector for sounder; 7-pin connector and pigtail cable for DFF3D
-
Inclusions: Includes the DFF3D elements along with 50/200 kHz elements and temperature and motion sensors
-
Compatibility: Can be connected to the DFF3D Multi-Beam Sonar along with one sounder
-
Space & cost efficiency: Saves money and space compared with purchasing and installing two separate transducers; all components housed in a single thru-hull unit
-
Design advantages: Reduces installation complexity and hull wear; keel-flush mounting keeps the hull streamlined, minimizing drag and maintenance
-
Real-time data: Built-in motion and temperature sensors provide real-time data to support performance and navigation under varying conditions
-
Flexibility: 12 m cable length and standardized connectors enable scalable setup for integrating DFF3D with a single sounder on compatible vessels
This transducer is ideal for vessels that need robust hull imaging with streamlined installation. By unifying DFF3D sensing and traditional 50/200 kHz sonar in one stainless steel unit, it reduces hull wear, simplifies wiring, and delivers cohesive multi-beam data for improved situational awareness and navigation under varying conditions.
