Raymarine Power Cable f/AIS650 & AIS700

Ensure Reliable Power for Your AIS System

Keeping your vessel's Automatic Identification System (AIS) running smoothly starts with a stable power connection. This dedicated power cable delivers consistent voltage to your Raymarine AIS650 or AIS700 transponder, preventing interruptions that could compromise safety at sea. Crafted with marine-grade materials, it withstands the harsh saltwater environment, vibrations, and temperature swings common in boating conditions.

Perfect Fit for Seamless Integration

Designed exclusively for Raymarine's AIS650 and AIS700 models, this cable features precision-engineered connectors that snap into place without fuss. No more makeshift wiring or compatibility headaches—just plug and play reliability. At 2 meters long, it offers ample reach for most installations, from compact center consoles to larger yachts, while keeping your deck tidy and professional-looking.

Why Power Stability Matters for AIS Performance

• uninterrupted Signal Transmission: Fluctuating power can lead to dropped AIS broadcasts, leaving your vessel invisible to nearby ships during critical moments.
• Enhanced Data Accuracy: Steady power ensures precise GPS integration and real-time position reporting, vital for collision avoidance.
• Long-Term Durability: Built to resist corrosion and wear, it outlasts generic alternatives, reducing downtime and maintenance costs over seasons of use.

Simple Installation for Any Skill Level

Swap out your old cable in minutes. Disconnect the existing power lead, route the new one through your preferred path—perhaps alongside existing wiring bundles—and secure the connections. For best results, use heat-shrink tubing on exposed joints to seal against moisture. It's an ideal upgrade during routine electronics checks or when troubleshooting intermittent power issues like dim displays or failed startups.

Spotting When Replacement is Needed

Watch for signs like flickering AIS status lights, erratic VHF transmissions, or error codes on your multifunction display. These often trace back to frayed insulation, loose pins, or voltage drops from aged cables. Proactive replacement keeps your setup compliant with SOLAS standards and ensures peace of mind on long passages.

Pro Tips for Optimal AIS Setup

Pair this power cable with a dedicated circuit breaker rated for your transponder's draw—typically around 5-10 amps. Position the AIS unit high and away from metal obstructions for maximum range. Regularly inspect connections during haul-outs to catch early wear. For dual-station boats, consider splitting power feeds to maintain redundancy.
