CubePilot GPS Cable 1 (GH Connectors)
by CubePilot

Product Description

The CubePilot GPS Cable 1 (GH Connectors) is a premium, high-density telemetry and navigation interconnect cable specifically engineered for the Pixhawk Cube flight controller ecosystem. Designed to facilitate flawless integration between compatible GNSS/Compass modules (such as the Here, Here+, Here3, and Here4 series) and the main Cube carrier board, this cable routes critical data over an 8-pin array. It bridges the primary GPS1 port on the autopilot, carrying concurrent UART serial communication for positioning data, I2C signals for the digital external compass, and dedicated pins for the physical safety hardware.

Constructed using high-quality 28 AWG silicone wiring, this cable offers extreme flexibility for clean internal routing within tight multirotor, fixed-wing, and VTOL drone airframes. The inclusion of genuine JST-GH 1.25mm connectors provides a positive click-lock mechanical engagement that is highly resistant to heavy flight vibrations, ensuring proper fitment and dependable electrical contact. By acting as a robust, single-cable wiring solution, it eliminates the need for custom wire slicing or pin crimping, safeguarding professional UAV builds against mid-flight signal losses or intermittent data tracking errors.
