Raymarine 2M Axiom XL Video In & Alarm Cable Product Description
Enhance your boating setup with the Raymarine 2M Axiom XL Video In & Alarm Cable, a precision-engineered accessory designed specifically for seamless integration with Axiom XL multifunction displays. This 2-meter cable bridges video inputs from marine cameras or other sources directly to your chartplotter, while also handling alarm outputs for critical alerts. Whether you're navigating busy harbors, monitoring blind spots during docking, or keeping an eye on live feeds from stern or engine room cameras, this cable delivers reliable connectivity without the clutter of adapters or extenders.
Boaters know that in the unpredictable marine environment, every connection counts. Salt spray, vibrations from rough seas, and constant exposure to moisture demand components that won't falter. This cable stands up to those challenges, ensuring your video feeds remain crystal clear and alarms trigger instantly when needed—potentially averting mishaps on the water.
Why This Cable Elevates Your Onboard Electronics
Unlike standard wiring that can introduce signal loss or interference, this dedicated cable optimizes data transmission for Axiom XL systems. It supports composite video inputs, allowing you to overlay camera views on your charts or sonar screens for a unified dashboard experience. Alarm functionality adds another layer of safety, routing signals from bilge pumps, high-water sensors, or door switches straight to your display for audible and visual notifications.
- Superior Signal Integrity: Shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference from nearby radars or engines, preserving video quality even in electrically noisy setups.
- Compact and Flexible: At just 2 meters, it's ideal for tight console spaces, with a supple jacket that routes easily around bulkheads and gear.
- Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Features color-coded, weatherproof connectors that snap securely into Axiom XL ports—no soldering or custom crimping required.
- Durability for Demanding Conditions: UV-resistant and waterproof materials ensure longevity, even when coiled on deck or exposed to bilge fumes.
Real-world boaters report fewer dropped signals and sharper imagery compared to generic cables, making it a smart upgrade for anyone serious about situational awareness afloat.
Effortless Installation for Any Skill Level
Setting up this cable takes minutes, not hours. Start by powering down your Axiom XL and locating the dedicated video/alarm port on the rear panel—typically labeled for easy identification. Align the cable's input end with your camera's output (common for Raymarine Quantum cameras or third-party analogs), then route the opposite end to the display. Secure with zip ties to avoid snags, and test the connection via the Axiom menu: Video > Inputs > Enable.
Pro Tips for Optimal Performance:
- Keep runs under 10 meters total to avoid degradation; use this 2M length for direct console-to-camera links.
- Apply dielectric grease to connectors for extra corrosion protection in saltwater environments.
- For multi-camera setups, daisy-chain compatible sources or add a switcher, ensuring this cable handles the primary feed.
- Integrate alarms by wiring sensors to the cable's output pins—consult your sensor manual for polarity.
Many users find it pairs perfectly with thermal imaging cams for night operations, turning their Axiom XL into a vigilant command center.
Practical Uses That Make a Difference on the Water
Imagine docking in low visibility: Your aft camera feed pops up automatically on the Axiom screen, alarms blare if proximity sensors detect obstacles. Or during long passages, monitor fuel tank levels or engine temps via linked gauges, with visual pop-ups keeping you informed without constant checks.
This cable shines in:
- Fishing Charters: Live baitwell or downrigger cams help spot strikes instantly.
- Coastal Cruising: Stern views for trailering props or spotting trailing debris.
- Commercial Ops: Reliable alarm relays for crew safety in workboats.
- Racers: Quick glitch-free video for tactical starts and maneuvers.
Its robust build means it handles the rigors of tournament fishing or extended offshore runs, where downtime isn't an option.
Long-Term Care for Peak Performance
To maximize lifespan, inspect connections seasonally for corrosion—wipe with fresh water and a soft cloth. Avoid sharp bends that could crimp internals, and store excess length coiled loosely. If signals weaken, reseat plugs or clean pins with isopropyl alcohol. This proactive approach keeps your setup humming season after season.
Frequently Asked Questions
What devices is this cable compatible with?
It's designed for Raymarine Axiom XL displays, supporting video inputs from compatible marine cameras and alarm outputs from standard sensors like bilge or temperature units.
Can I extend this cable for longer runs?
While possible with quality extenders, sticking close to 2 meters prevents signal loss. For longer distances, consider powered repeaters to maintain video clarity.
Does it support HD video sources?
It handles standard composite video (CVBS), ideal for most analog marine cams. For HD, upgrade to compatible HDMI interfaces on newer Axiom models.
How do I troubleshoot no video signal?
Check Axiom input settings, verify camera power, reseat connectors, and test with another source. Ensure polarity matches for alarms.
Is it suitable for saltwater exposure?
Yes, with IPX6/IPX7-rated connectors and marine-grade jacketing, it's built to withstand spray, submersion, and UV without degrading.
What alarms can connect via this cable?
Dry-contact sensors for bilge, doors, tanks, or custom switches—relays audible tones and screen alerts on your Axiom XL.
How flexible is the cable for routing?
Highly flexible with a tight bend radius, making it easy to snake through consoles, under panels, or along gunwales without kinking.
