[CA] E120W Radar problems.

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Todd,

Thanks for confirming that the installed Digital Radar Cable was terminated with a RJ45 (M) plug. Within a system of E-Series Classic MFDs, C-Series Widescreen MFDs, E-Series Widescreen MFDs, or G-Series GPM400's, Digital Radar Cables having a RJ45 (M) plug were intended to be connected to any one of the following:
- E55060 SeaTalkhs Crossover Coupler
- R32142 Weatherproof RJ45 (M) to RJ45 (M) Straight Through Coupler
- SeaTalkhs Network Switch (retired)
- SR6 Sirius Satellite Weather Receiver / SeaTalkhs Network Switch (Retired)

which in turn would be interfaced to an appropriate length of SeaTalkhs (M) to RJ45 (M) Cable. As indicated the latter cable features a SeaTalkhs (M) plug which is designed to:
- ensure proper alignment of the cable's RJ45 (M) plug within the MFD's SeaTalkhs socket
- lock the cable into the MFD's SeaTalkhs socket
- protect the MFD's SeaTalkhs socket from the marine environment
- prevent EMC radiation through use of shielding within the cable

Please verify that your MFD has been interfaced the radar pedestal in the manner specified above. If so, then please click here to view a FAQ providing further troublehooting information.
