[CA] [CA11] Radar Cable Replacement

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum PetrelMarine,

As indicated within the FAQ found here, Raymarine offers Digital Radar Extension Cables to avoid such issues. Accordingly, if seeking the best recommended solution, it would be recommended that the Digital Radar Cable inside of the mast be replaced with a Digital Radar Extension Cable of appropriate length to reach the bottom of the mast. A Digital Radar Cable would then be connected between the Digital Radar Extension Cable and the MFD or HS5 RayNet Network Switch.

If not considering replacement of the Digital Radar Cable inside of the mast, then it would be recommended that shielded RJ45 (M) plugs be crimped onto the Ethernet leads of the Digital Radar Cable and that a R32142 RJ45 to RJ45 Waterproof Coupler be used to join the Ethernet portion of the cable segments to one another.
