Raymarine Digital Radar Cable f/Domes & Arrays - 5m

Enhance Your Marine Radar Setup with Reliable Connectivity

Connecting your HD or Super HD radar antenna to the display unit demands nothing short of precision-engineered cabling. This 5-meter digital radar cable steps up to ensure seamless signal transmission, preserving the crisp clarity and fast refresh rates that Raymarine radars are known for. Whether you're navigating foggy coastal waters or scanning for fish in open seas, a dependable cable like this minimizes interference and maintains peak performance even in salty, spray-lashed conditions.

Boaters often overlook cables, but they're the unsung heroes of radar systems. Subpar wiring can introduce noise, degrade range detection, or cause intermittent dropouts—issues that vanish with marine-grade construction. This cable's rugged shielding and connectors withstand vibration from rough waves, UV exposure, and temperature swings, delivering years of trouble-free service.

Perfect Fit for Domes and Open Arrays

Designed specifically for Raymarine's HD and Super HD radar antennas, this cable supports both compact dome scanners and larger open-array models. Its versatility shines in various vessel sizes—from sportfishing boats to larger yachts—where installation space varies. The 16.4-foot length strikes an ideal balance: long enough for flexible routing around masts, bulkheads, or consoles, yet short enough to avoid excessive signal attenuation.

• Seamless Integration: Plugs directly into Raymarine multifunction displays and processors without adapters.
• Weatherproof Build: IPX6-rated connectors resist corrosion from saltwater immersion.
• Low-Loss Transmission: Optimized impedance ensures high-bandwidth digital signals travel undistorted.

Why Boaters Trust This Cable for Peak Radar Performance

In the demanding marine world, radar isn't just a luxury—it's a safety essential. This cable bolsters that reliability by facilitating quick target acquisition and accurate echo returns. Anglers appreciate how it supports detailed clutter rejection, revealing bait balls hidden in sea foam. Cruisers value the stable connection during autopilot maneuvers in low visibility.

Installation Made Straightforward

No need for specialized tools or marine electricians. Pre-terminated ends with secure locking mechanisms snap into place. Route it through existing conduits, secure with cable ties, and test—your radar's online in under an hour. Pro tip: Apply dielectric grease to connectors for extra protection against moisture ingress.

Long-Term Durability in Harsh Conditions

Engineered with double-shielded twisted pairs and abrasion-resistant jacket, it shrugs off chafing from deck hardware. Regular inspections—checking for frays or loose pins—extend its life, often beyond the standard warranty period.

User Experiences and Practical Tips

Skippers upgrading from analog radars rave about the digital clarity this cable unlocks, noting fewer false echoes and sharper bearings. For multi-antenna setups, daisy-chaining compatibility keeps wiring tidy. Maintain signal quality by avoiding sharp bends (minimum radius 4 inches) and keeping runs away from high-power VHF antennas.
