Sergio,

It is not acceptable to simply insert a cable which has been terminated with a RJ45 (M) plug into a SeaTalkhs socket such as is found on a DSM30/300. Instead, a cable terminated with a SeaTalkhs plug (features a weatherproof locking ring with a RJ45 (M) plug inside of it must be used to mate/secure the communications cable to the product's SeaTalkhs socket. Should there be an issue with the cable having to be chased through a binnacle tube and it be desired to chase a RJ45 plug rather then a RayNet (F) plug, then it would indeed be permissible to use a cable assembly constructed from an A80247 RayNet (F) to RJ45 (F) Adapter and an appropriate length of SeaTalkhs (M) to RJ45 (M) Cable.
