  • The BTC 5100C is an ultra-compact wired mini keyboard manufactured by Behavior Tech Computer Corp. (BTC) in Taiwan. Widely adopted across the maritime industry, the 5100C serves as the standard terminal keyboard for Inmarsat-C, Mini-M, and GMDSS satellite message terminals (such as Thrane & Thrane / Sailor TT-3606E, Furuno Felcom, and JRC Sat-C systems) where navigation desk space is severely restricted.

    Featuring an 81-key reduced-footprint layout with an embedded numeric keypad accessible via Function (Fn) key combinations, the BTC 5100C uses durable dome-with-slider key switch technology to provide clear tactile feedback during message drafting and system configuration. Built into a high-impact ABS chassis with integrated fold-out feet, it provides reliable performance in vibration-heavy bridge and chartroom environments.

    Key Features:
    • Ultra-Compact Mini Footprint: Space-saving 81-key layout designed specifically for tight wheelhouse consoles, GMDSS desks, and slide-out communication trays.
    • Maritime Sat-C Compatibility: Engineered for seamless plug-and-play operation with Inmarsat-C message terminals, GMDSS telex processors, and marine PCs.
    • Tactile Key Switch Technology: High-durability dome-with-slider key switches provide positive tactile response for accurate typing on moving vessels.
    • Integrated Numeric Functionality: Full embedded 10-key numeric pad toggled easily via the Fn key for rapid coordinate and numerical data entry.
    • Ruggedized ABS Housing: Built with high-impact, splash-resistant polymer casing designed for continuous commercial marine watchkeeping.
    • Standard PS/2 Terminal Cable: Outfitted with a heavy-duty strain-relieved interface cable terminating in a standard PS/2 (6-pin Mini-DIN) connector.
