SeaTalkng, RayNet, and Digital Radar cable and plug dimensions

Note: when chasing cables, it is generally recommended that
- cables having the larger diameter plugs be chased before chasing cables having smaller diameter plugs
- should a cable feature plugs of different diameters on each end of the cable, then end of the cable having the smaller diameter plug should be chased
- should one end of a cable terminate in bare leads instead of a plug, then the end of the cable having bare leads should be chased
- cable pulling aids (ex. R70014 RayNet Cable Pullers, an assembly constructed from a SeaTalkng Inline Terminator and a SeaTalkng Termination Pug (drilled to accept a line for chasing, shrink tubing over bare leads and addition of a chasing wire under shrink tubing, etc.) should be used to aid chasing and protect plugs
- the cable's leads and plugs should be protected from damage
- cables should not be subjected to a bend radius which is less than that specified within the product's installation guide.
- kinking of communications be avoided as it can permanently damage cables
- cable chasing lubricant be used to prevent binding
