Quantum radar data cable length

RE: Quantum radar data cable length
Hcfirstlight,

Q. Given where we are now, would you recommend the cable joiner in your response below for the 10m data cable that I have run(the junction will be below decks), coupled with the 5m data cable we just purchased from Defender? Or, purchase a new 20m cable and start over? Many thanks for your advice.
A. As may have been advised, should on be replacing a radome or open array radar having an analog video interface (such as yours) and one not desire to chase a new radar cable, then the Quantum radome's power cable may simply be spliced to the power and drain leads within the currently installed radar cable. The power leads at the other end of the currently installed radar cable would then connected to a switched 12 or 24 VDC power circuit. Note that this would address applications where the Quantum radome will interface with the MFD via Wi-Fi. Should a wired communications interfaced be required, then the appropriate Quantum radome and a Digital Radar Cable would be recommended, as the single gable will support power and communications.

In order to provide the best response, please indicate whether this equipment will be installed on a powerboat or sailboat.
