[CA] Axiom RV to DV transducer cable question

[holdech]

The massively long plug on this "adapter" cable makes it impossible to fit my Axiom 9 in either of the helm pods I'm considering.

If I can shave off an inch of the strain relief then it will fit. And since the cable will not see any movement it really doesn't need the strain relief.

The pic I've attached shows the plastic I need to remove in order to make things fit.

My question - are there any electronics in the plug (the end that connects to the MFd)?

Or, is there a 90-degree adapter that I don't know about?

My only other option is to use a helm pod twice the size of my MFD - which would not only look bad but make the cockpit even more cramped.

Thank you,

Chris
