Furuno Radar Signal Cable f/FAR1513 - 30M
Furuno Radar Signal Cable f/FAR1513 - 30M — Product description
Ensure seamless radar performance on your vessel with this precision-engineered signal cable designed specifically for Furuno FAR1513 systems. Stretching 30 meters, it delivers reliable transmission of high-frequency radar signals from the antenna unit to the display, minimizing interference and maintaining crystal-clear detection in demanding marine environments.
Why This Cable Matters for Your Radar Setup
Radar signal cables are the lifeline of your navigation system. A subpar connection can lead to signal loss, distorted images, or complete failure during critical moments at sea. This genuine Furuno cable eliminates those risks by using high-quality shielding and marine-grade materials that withstand saltwater exposure, UV rays, and constant vibration from rough waters.
Key Specifications and Build Quality

- Construction: Multi-layered insulation with robust connectors for plug-and-play compatibility.
- Shielding: Advanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection to preserve signal integrity over distance.
- Durability: IPX6+ waterproof rating and flexible yet tough outer jacket for long-term reliability.
- Part References: 001-421-550-00 and RW00224 for easy identification and ordering.
Perfect Compatibility with FAR1513
Crafted exclusively for the Furuno FAR1513 X-band radar – a favorite among professional fishermen and leisure boaters for its solid-state magnetron-free design and superior short-range detection. This cable pairs flawlessly, supporting the radar's 12/24/48 nautical mile ranges without compromising resolution or refresh rates.
Benefits Beyond Basic Connectivity
Opting for this original cable isn't just about replacement – it's an investment in safety and efficiency. Mariners report fewer false echoes and sharper target separation compared to generic alternatives. Its low signal attenuation ensures your FAR1513 performs at peak, helping you spot hazards, fish schools, or buoys with confidence, even in clutter-heavy conditions like rain or waves.
Installation Tips for Optimal Performance
Route the cable away from high-power sources like engines or radios to avoid noise. Secure it with cable ties every 1-2 meters, allowing slight slack for vessel flex. During connection, align the keyed connectors to prevent damage – a quick torque check on fittings seals the deal. For retrofits, it's a straightforward swap that gets you back online in under an hour.
Maintenance for Lasting Performance
Inspect annually for frays or corrosion, especially at endpoints. Wipe connectors with a dry cloth after exposure to spray, and store spares coiled loosely to prevent kinks. With proper care, this cable outlasts imitations, reducing downtime and repair costs over seasons of heavy use.
