Raymarine Power Cable - 10M w/Bare Wires f/Quantum

Extend Your Radar Setup with Reliable Power Connectivity

Installing a Raymarine Quantum radar on your vessel often requires more reach than standard cables provide. This 10-meter power cable with bare wire ends steps in as the perfect solution, offering the flexibility to position your radar unit exactly where you need it—whether that's high on a mast, at the stern, or amidships—without compromising on power delivery. Designed specifically for Quantum series radars, it ensures stable voltage supply even in demanding marine conditions, keeping your navigation reliable during long voyages or choppy waters.

Key Features for Marine-Grade Performance

• Generous 10-Meter Length: Provides ample distance to route power from your boat's battery bank or distribution panel to the radar, reducing the need for additional adapters or junctions that can introduce resistance.
• Bare Wire Terminals: Simplifies custom connections to your existing wiring harness, switches, or fuses, allowing for a clean, professional install tailored to your boat's electrical layout.
• Robust Construction: Built to withstand UV exposure, saltwater corrosion, and vibration, matching the durability standards of Raymarine's Quantum lineup for years of trouble-free operation.
• Optimized for Quantum Radars: Matches the exact power requirements, preventing voltage drops that could affect radar pulse performance or responsiveness.

Perfect Compatibility Across Quantum Models

This cable integrates seamlessly with all Raymarine Quantum radar models, from the compact Quantum 2 to advanced CHIRP-enabled units like the Quantum Q24C. It's an ideal extension for retrofits or new installations where the factory power lead falls short. Boaters upgrading from older radars appreciate how it maintains the plug-and-play simplicity while extending operational range.

Installation Tips for Optimal Results

Getting the most out of your setup starts with smart routing. Secure the cable along existing conduits or use cable ties to avoid chafe points near moving parts. When terminating the bare wires:

1. Strip insulation carefully to expose clean copper strands.
2. Crimp on marine-grade ring terminals sized for your fuse block or battery posts (typically 12-14 AWG compatible).
3. Apply heat-shrink tubing over connections for waterproofing.
4. Test continuity and voltage at the radar end before finalizing.

Pro tip: Pair it with inline fuses rated to Quantum's draw (around 25A peak) to protect against shorts. This approach minimizes electrical noise, ensuring crisp radar returns for spotting targets in fog or at night.

Why Length Matters in Radar Power Management

Shorter cables might seem convenient, but they limit mounting options and force awkward wiring paths. At 10 meters, this cable unlocks creative installs—like placing your Quantum radar for unobstructed 360-degree scanning—while keeping power loss under 5% even on longer runs. It's a game-changer for sailboats, fishing charters, or larger yachts where electronics are spread out.

Long-Term Maintenance and Reliability

Raymarine cables like this one feature tinned copper conductors to resist corrosion, but regular inspections pay off. Check for frays annually, especially in high-wear areas, and reseal any compromised heat-shrink. In humid climates, a dielectric grease application on terminals prevents oxidation, extending service life beyond a decade.
