[CA] Maximum radome cable length - CoastalMarine - 03-16-18 02:06 PM
What is the maximum combined length (cable plus extension cable) from the HS5 network switch to the 18" HD Color Radome RD418HD? I didn't find the answer in the manual.

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum CoastalMarine,
The maximum length for a Digital Radar Cable powering a Radome is 35m for a 24V system or 25m for a 12V system. This is strictly to address power drop. The maximum length for CAT 6 Ethernet (RayNet/SeaTalkhs) network cables (includes Digital Radar Cables) is 100m. Accordingly, it is possible extend a Digital Radar Cable with an A80162 RayNet (M) to RayNet (M) Cable Joiner and an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable.
