[CA] [CA11] Axiom XL/Pro with 4k Raydome and STHS

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Nick,

Q1) Is there way to connect this to the Axiom without re-running cables, its currently connected to the STHS connector on the back. There are two cables connected in that way so not sure what the other one is yet(New boat to me).
A1) Radomes which had been designed for use with C-Series Widescreen MFDs are indeed compatible with Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs. One need simply unplug the SeaTalkhs cable connecting the radome to the SeaTalkhs socket of the MFD, install an A80160 RayNet (F) to SThs (F) Socket Adaptor Cable to the SeaTalkhs Cable, and then mate the other end of the adapter to one of the Axiom MFD's Ethernet (RayNet) sockets.

Q2) Is there any major difference between XL and Pro - i was not able to figure this out:)?
A3) The Axiom XL MFDs are the choice for those seeking class bridge helms and the largest screen sizes available. AxiomXL MFDs additionally feature POE Ethernet ports rather than the unpowered Ethernet ports found on Axiom and Axiom Pro MFDs. POE Ethernet ports may be used to power and support communications of standard Ethernet devices as well as those which are designed to be powered via their Ethernet communications interfaced (ex. CAM210, CAM220, RMK-10, FLIR MD-Series Thermal Cameras, etc.).
