Furuno 20M Radar Sensor Cable Assembly f/DRS 2, 4 & 6

Enhance Your Marine Radar Setup with Reliable Connectivity

Connecting your Furuno DRS radar sensor to the display unit demands a cable that handles the harsh marine environment without compromising signal integrity or power delivery. This specialized 20-meter assembly stands out by combining data and power lines into a single, flexible Siamese design, minimizing wiring clutter on your vessel while ensuring seamless operation. Boaters and professional installers appreciate its rugged construction, which resists corrosion, UV exposure, and constant vibration from rough seas.

Whether you're upgrading your NavNet 3D system or replacing a worn cable after years of service, this assembly delivers the performance needed for clear target detection and reliable navigation data transmission. Its thoughtful connector setup simplifies integration, letting you focus on what matters: safe passage through challenging waters.

Standout Features for Superior Performance

• Dual-Function Siamese Design: Merges Ethernet data and power cables into one unit, reducing installation time and deck clutter for a cleaner helm station.
• Precision Connectors: RJ45 plugs on both ends of the data line for plug-and-play Ethernet compatibility; 3-pin power connector at the display side with an open-end design at the sensor for custom fitting.
• Extended Reach: 20 meters of length provides flexibility for mounting radars higher on the mast or farther from the display without signal degradation.
• Marine-Grade Durability: Built to withstand saltwater spray, extreme temperatures, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability in offshore conditions.

Perfect Compatibility Across Furuno Systems

Engineered specifically for Furuno's NavNet 3D lineup, this cable pairs effortlessly with DRS sensors ranging from compact 2kW units ideal for smaller craft to powerful 12kW models for larger vessels. It supports DRS2, DRS4, and DRS6 series, enabling high-resolution radar overlays on multifunction displays. This compatibility extends to TZtouch and other NavNet platforms, where stable connections are crucial for features like MARPA target tracking and bird detection modes.

Installers note that using the correct cable prevents common issues like intermittent radar blackouts or reduced pulse lengths, which can occur with mismatched or generic alternatives. It's a direct fit that maintains the full spectrum of radar capabilities, from short-range clutter rejection to long-range weather monitoring.

Streamlined Installation and Maintenance Tips

Setting up this cable is straightforward for DIY enthusiasts or pros. Route it through existing cable conduits, secure with marine-grade ties, and apply dielectric grease to connectors for extra waterproofing. The open-end power wire at the sensor simplifies termination directly to the DRS power block, avoiding bulky adapters.

Pro Tips for Longevity:

• Inspect connections seasonally for wear, especially after stormy outings.
• Avoid sharp bends near the sensor to protect internal shielding.
• Pair with Furuno's waterproof RJ45 covers for added protection against spray.
• If extending further, consider signal boosters, but test for latency first.

Regular checks can extend the cable's life beyond a decade, saving on downtime during critical voyages.

Why Mariners Trust This Cable for Critical Operations

In the world of marine electronics, a weak link in the chain—like a faulty cable—can mean missing hazards in fog or at night. This assembly prioritizes zero-latency data transfer and consistent power, empowering your radar to deliver actionable insights. Anglers use it for spotting bait schools, cruisers for collision avoidance, and commercial ops for precise maneuvering in busy ports. Its proven track record in real-world scenarios underscores Furuno's commitment to innovation that stands up to the sea's toughest demands.
