[JB] [JB] What gauge is the wind transducer wire

[Jules - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hello Barry,

I'm assuming that you're connecting these below decks. Connections in the mast will be quite bulky and prone to corrosion no matter what connectors you use.

Q-1. How many wires are in the cable (I have read 5 but only see 4)
A-1. There are 4 insulated wires and a shield around all of them to eliminate interference so 5 conductors in total. Make sure you get shielded cable!

Q-2. What gauge is the wire?
A-2. This is not critical, but a flexible wire would be better as it handles acute turns better and I think AWG14 or AWG16 would be enough as there is very little current draw. Something similar would be good.

Happy boating and kind regards
Jules
