Raymarine Digital Radar Extension Cable f/Domes & Arrays - 5m Product Description
Extending your Raymarine HD or Super HD radar setup just got simpler with this purpose-built 5-meter digital extension cable. Designed specifically for domes and open arrays, it bridges the gap between your radar antenna and processing unit, giving you the flexibility to position your gear exactly where it performs best—without signal loss or hassle. Boaters know that every extra foot of quality cabling can mean the difference between a cluttered helm and a streamlined, professional install.
Why This Extension Cable Elevates Your Radar System
In the demanding world of marine navigation, reliability isn't optional. This cable stands out by maintaining crisp digital signals over its full 16.4-foot length, ensuring your radar scans deliver the clarity and range you rely on for safe passage through fog, night runs, or crowded harbors.
- Seamless Signal Integrity: Engineered to preserve high-definition radar data, preventing degradation that plagues lesser cables.
- Versatile Fit: Perfect for both compact dome scanners and larger open-array antennas on sailboats, power yachts, or fishing vessels.
- Battle-Tested Durability: Wrapped in rugged, marine-grade shielding that shrugs off saltwater spray, UV exposure, and constant vibration.
- Effortless Routing: Slim profile and flexible design slip easily through tight conduits or along deck runs, saving hours during setup.
Streamlined Installation for Any Skill Level
Picture this: You're prepping for a long offshore trip, and radar placement is tricky due to mast height or arch positioning. This extension cable steps in as your ally. Start by powering down your system, disconnect the existing short cable at both ends, and plug this one straight in—it's plug-and-play with Raymarine's digital connectors. Secure with zip ties or cable clips every 18-24 inches to avoid chafing, and you're scanning in minutes. Pro tip: Route away from high-power sources like engines or VHF antennas to minimize interference, keeping your returns pinpoint accurate.
- Power off radar and display unit.
- Unplug antenna and processor cables.
- Connect extension securely at both ends.
- Test boot-up and scan patterns.
- Route and secure for weatherproofing.
Common pitfalls? Over-tightening fittings—finger-tight plus a quarter turn does it—or ignoring drip loops to shed water. Get it right, and it'll serve seasons without a glitch.
Perfect Match for HD and Super HD Ecosystems
This isn't a one-size-fits-all accessory. It's tailored for Raymarine's HD digital radar lineup, including popular dome models like the 18-inch or 24-inch variants and Super HD open arrays that deliver bird-detection precision. If you're running an older analog system, this digital cable won't interface—stick to matched tech for peak performance. It shines in multi-station setups too, letting you daisy-chain displays across the boat without compromising speed or resolution.
Long-Term Care to Keep Scans Sharp
Invest once, maintain forever. Annually inspect for frays or corrosion at endpoints, especially where cables meet deck fittings. A quick freshwater rinse after salt exposure and silicone grease on connectors wards off oxidation. In storage, coil loosely to avoid kinks—think figure-8 pattern. These habits extend life beyond the standard coverage, ensuring your radar remains a trusted watchman.
