Raymarine Digital Radar Cable - 15m

Enhance Your Vessel's Radar System with the Raymarine 15m Digital Radar Cable

Equip your boat with a dependable connection that keeps your radar performing at its peak. The Raymarine 15m Digital Radar Cable (A55078D) delivers seamless signal transmission between your digital dome radar and multifunction display. Crafted for the harsh marine environment, this cable ensures reliable data flow, helping you navigate fog, rain, and night conditions with confidence.

Whether you're a weekend sailor or a professional mariner, this 15-meter length strikes the perfect balance for installations on mid-sized vessels, offering flexibility without excess cable clutter. Its rugged construction resists saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, and constant vibration, making it a smart upgrade for any Raymarine digital radar setup.

Key Features of the A55078D Cable

• Precise Digital Signal Integrity: Optimized for Raymarine's digital radomes, minimizing signal loss over the full 15m length for crystal-clear radar images.
• Marine-Grade Durability: Double-shielded construction protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and physical wear from deck hardware or waves.
• Plug-and-Play Connectors: Factory-fitted Raymarine-specific plugs ensure a secure, watertight fit right out of the box—no custom crimping needed.
• Flexible Length Design: 15m provides ample reach for radar domes mounted on arches, masts, or poles, while keeping your cockpit tidy.
• Lightweight and Low-Profile: Reduces vessel weight and snag risks, ideal for performance-oriented boats.

Perfect Compatibility Across Raymarine Digital Radars

This cable pairs effortlessly with a wide array of Raymarine digital dome radars, including popular models like the RD218, RD224, and 4kW/6kW series. It integrates with Raymarine's Axiom, Axiom Pro, e-Series, c-Series, and g-Series multifunction displays via SeaTalk networking. If your setup includes pathfinder radars or Quantum solid-state options, verify dome compatibility for optimal performance—most digital dome configurations benefit from this reliable link.

Raymarine's ecosystem shines here: Upgrade from older analog cables without replacing your entire radar, as this digital version supports enhanced features like MARPA target tracking and bird mode for fishing enthusiasts.

Benefits That Set It Apart for Boaters

Investing in the A55078D means fewer headaches on the water. Skip the frustration of intermittent radar dropouts or fuzzy echoes that plague lesser cables. Mariners report sharper target discrimination and faster refresh rates, crucial for collision avoidance in busy channels or spotting pots and debris at distance.

Its extended 15m reach suits flybridge yachts, center consoles, and offshore sportfishers where dome placement demands extra cable run. Plus, the robust shielding boosts overall system reliability, potentially extending the life of your radar electronics by reducing noise-induced stress.

Simple Installation Tips for Seamless Setup

Route the cable along existing conduits or secure it with marine-grade zip ties to avoid chafe points near cleats or windlasses. Connect the dome-end plug first, then feed the cable aft to your display unit, ensuring strain relief at both ends. Test in open water: Power cycle your MFD and radar to confirm solid linkage—no special tools required.

For custom runs, use heat-shrink tubing on junctions exposed to spray. Pro tip: Label both ends for quick troubleshooting during annual maintenance.

Maintaining Peak Performance Over Time

Inspect connections seasonally for corrosion—wipe with fresh water and dielectric grease if needed. Coil excess length loosely to prevent kinks that could degrade signals. In extreme conditions, like extended bluewater passages, this cable's resilience shines, often outlasting the dome itself.

Why Raymarine Cables Lead the Pack

Raymarine's commitment to innovation dates back decades, with digital radar tech pioneered for real-world reliability. Unlike generic alternatives, the A55078D undergoes rigorous testing for IPX6 waterproofing and flex cycles mimicking years of heaving-to. Boaters trust it for consistent performance that enhances safety without complexity.
