Splice Quantum Data Cable

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum capecodboater,

Q1. Can I crimp a standard RJ45 connector to the end of the cable and then use the RayNet (F) to RJ45 (F) Adaptor (Part #A80247)
A1. It is indeed possible to crimp a RJ45 plug onto the cable's leads to support the adaptation which you have suggested. However, only shielded RJ45 plugs should be used.

Q2. If I crimp a RJ45 connector to the cable, do I use a typical CAT-5 B diagram?
A2. Please click here to view a FAQ identifying the type of termination to be used when installing the RJ45 plug.

Q3. Am I better off using a standard punch junction board to make the connection and then seal it?
A3. This approach would not be recommended as it may introduce noise within the Ethernet communications path.
