Raymarine Transducer Extension Cable f/CP470/CP570 Wide CHIRP Transducers - 10M

Enhance Your Marine Sonar Setup with Reliable Extension Capabilities

Picture this: you're out on the water, scanning for the perfect fishing spot or navigating tricky underwater terrain, but your transducer is just a bit too short to reach the ideal mounting position. That's where a quality extension cable steps in, giving you the flexibility to optimize your setup without compromising signal quality. Designed specifically for Raymarine's CP470 and CP570 Wide CHIRP transducers, this 10-meter (33-foot) extension cable ensures seamless connectivity between your sounder module and transducer, supporting speed, depth, and temperature readings with precision.

Crafted from durable black cabling with 10 pins for a secure fit, this accessory is built to withstand the relentless demands of marine life—salt spray, vibrations, and constant submersion. Whether you're rigging up a CP450, CP470, or CP570 sounder module, it provides the extra reach needed for transom mounts, thru-hull installations, or even inboard engine bays, all while maintaining the crystal-clear sonar imagery that CHIRP technology is famous for.

Key Features That Stand Out on the Water

• Precision Length and Fit: At 10 meters, it offers ample extension without excess slack, perfect for most vessel configurations.
• 10-Pin Connector: Matches perfectly with CP470/CP570 Wide CHIRP transducers, ensuring no signal loss or compatibility issues.
• Multi-Sensor Support: Handles speed, depth, and temperature data transmission reliably, feeding your Raymarine multifunction display with accurate real-time info.
• Rugged Marine-Grade Build: Black outer sheath resists UV exposure, corrosion, and abrasion for years of dependable service.

Unlike generic cables, this one is engineered by marine electronics experts to preserve the wide-bandwidth performance of CHIRP sonar, which sweeps multiple frequencies simultaneously for superior target separation and bottom detail compared to traditional fixed-frequency units.

Why Boaters Trust This Extension Cable for Their Rigging Needs

In the harsh marine world, reliability isn't optional—it's essential. This cable shines in extreme conditions, from pounding waves in rough seas to the quiet precision needed for structure scanning in calm bays. Its rugged design means fewer failures, less downtime, and more time enjoying what you love.

Installation is straightforward, even for weekend warriors. Simply connect one end to your transducer and the other to the CP-series sounder module—no special tools required beyond basic marine wiring know-how. Pro tip: Secure the cable along existing hull runs or use cable ties to avoid snags, and always apply dielectric grease to connections for extra waterproofing.

Backed by a commitment to longevity, it pairs with Raymarine's reputation for user-friendly gear that integrates effortlessly into larger systems like chartplotters and fishfinders. Anglers report sharper fish arches and clearer wrecks, while sailors appreciate the dependable depth soundings during low-visibility maneuvers.

Maximizing Performance: Tips for Optimal Transducer Placement

To get the most from your extended setup, placement matters. Aim for a spot forward of the prop and straddle, deadrise-matched for minimal air bubble interference. This cable's length lets you experiment—test multiple positions to minimize dead zones and maximize coverage.

Common pitfalls? Avoid running the cable near high-power accessories like thrusters or inverters, which can induce noise. Shielding in this cable helps, but good routing is your first defense. For troubleshooting faint signals, check connections first—tight, clean plugs make all the difference.

Integrate it into your Raymarine ecosystem for enhanced features like ForwardScan or SideVision when paired with compatible transducers, turning your console into a full-spectrum underwater mapping station.

Real-World Applications Across Vessel Types

From center-console fishing boats chasing trophy species to offshore cruisers plotting safe passages, this extension adapts to your needs. Kayak anglers extending reach for pod mounts, liveaboard yachtsmen spanning long hulls—it's versatile. Saltwater pros value its corrosion resistance, while freshwater enthusiasts love the hassle-free performance.

Upgrade stories abound: Boaters swapping short stock cables report immediate improvements in sonar consistency, especially at speed where hull slap can disrupt lesser setups.
