They should all work fine. That said, here are some of the differences that I have seen.


- Maretron cables have metal thread fittings on the ends, where most other brands are plastic. The metal will be more durable, but does it matter?


- The indexing on one company's Tee connectors is different from everyone else. I think it's Garmin. If you try to connect their Tee and anyone else's together, the branch taps won't be lined up, with some coming off at one angle, and others at a different angle. It's annoying to say the least. I can't say for sure if there is just one company who's different from everyone else, or if there are others.



Personally, if I'm buying cables, I pick Maretron. But I have used other cables that have been included with various products, and never had any issues so I wouldn't hesitate to use others.
