Furuno 15m Radar Cable f/DRS4DL

Upgrade your marine navigation system with the reliable Furuno 15m radar cable tailored for seamless integration with DRS4DL radar domes. This specialized signal and power cable delivers uninterrupted performance, transmitting high-quality radar data and stable power across extended distances on your vessel. Ideal for boaters who need robust connectivity without signal degradation, it supports crystal-clear target detection even in challenging sea conditions.

Key Advantages for Marine Enthusiasts

Crafted from durable marine-grade materials, this cable withstands harsh saltwater environments, UV exposure, and constant vibration from engine rumble. Unlike generic alternatives, its precision-engineered shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby electronics like VHF radios or fishfinders, ensuring your radar images remain sharp and accurate. The 15-meter length strikes the perfect balance for mid-sized yachts, sportfishers, and center consoles, allowing flexible mounting options for your radome without excess slack that could snag during rough passages.

Enhanced Features and Build Quality

• Optimized Length: 15 meters provides ample reach for typical installations, from pedestal mounts to flybridge setups.
• Dual-Function Design: Combines signal transmission for radar video and power delivery in a single, streamlined cable to reduce clutter on deck.
• Weather-Resistant Construction: Double-shielded conductors and rugged outer jacket protect against corrosion and abrasion.
• Plug-and-Play Connectors: Factory-fitted ends match DRS4DL specifications for quick, error-free connections to your NavNet TZtouch or multifunction display.
• Low-Loss Signal Integrity: Maintains peak performance up to the full length, avoiding the drop-offs common in makeshift extensions.

Perfect Compatibility Across Furuno Systems

This cable pairs flawlessly with DRS4DL 4kW radar domes and extends support to DRS6AX models, integrating smoothly into Furuno's ecosystem of chartplotters and network hubs. Whether you're running a single display or a multi-station setup, it ensures your radar feeds real-time data to screens below deck or at the helm. Boaters upgrading from shorter stock cables appreciate the added flexibility for repositioning antennas without rewiring.

Installation Insights for Smooth Setup

Route the cable through existing conduits or along gunwales, securing it with UV-resistant ties every 18-24 inches to prevent chafing. Connect the radome end first, then route aft to your processor unit, avoiding sharp bends (minimum radius: 4 inches) to preserve signal quality. Test continuity with a multimeter before powering up—check for shorts between power, ground, and data lines. For best results, keep it separated from high-power AC lines by at least 12 inches. Professional installers note this cable's flexibility makes it easier to fish through tight spaces compared to bulkier options.

Long-Term Reliability and Care Tips

To maximize lifespan, inspect connections annually for corrosion, especially in saltwater use—apply dielectric grease to plugs for extra protection. If replacing a worn cable, note that Furuno's design prevents common pitfalls like overheating from undersized wires. Users report years of trouble-free service, with no intermittent signal loss even after thousands of miles at sea. Pair it with Furuno's pulse compression tech in DRS4DL for superior short-range clutter rejection and bird detection.
