It comes fitted with a plug on the mast-top end and bare wires on the other for a clean termination. If you've got a tall rig, this is the length you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Raymarine R70944 is the 30 meter cable that ties your RSW Wired Wind transducer at the masthead into your instrument network down below. It's a purpose-built run, not a generic length of wire. One end comes fitted with a plug that mates to the transducer at the top of the mast. The other end is bare wires, ready for you to terminate below deck. Simple job, done right, and your wind data shows up clean at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's the thing about RSW, Raymarine's Smart Wind system. The wired version sends its data straight down the mast through this cable. That means you don't need an ITC-5 in the loop to convert the signal. Fewer boxes, fewer connections, fewer places for a fault to hide. For a sailor who lives and dies by apparent wind angle, that's a cleaner and more reliable path from the vane to the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy 30 meters? Because masts are tall, and the cable has to reach from the very top all the way down to wherever your instrument network lives below the companionway. Thirty meters is roughly 98 feet, which covers the big rigs. If you're on a larger cruising or racing sailboat with a tall stick, this is the length that gives you enough slack to route the run properly without pulling it tight. Measure your mast height, add the run below deck, and give yourself margin. Running short is the one mistake you can't fix without buying the cable again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe install itself is straightforward if you plan it. The plugged end goes up top and connects to the RSW transducer. You feed the cable down inside the mast, out at the base, through the deck or mast boot, and back to your instrument network. The bare-wire end lands at your termination point below deck. We've rigged plenty of masthead sensors, and the cable run is always the part worth slowing down for. Take your time at the masthead, secure the plug connection, and make sure nothing can chafe once the mast is stepped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA few field notes from boats we've worked on. Inside the mast, keep the cable from slapping and chafing against the internal conduit or other wiring. A little foam or spiral wrap at the contact points goes a long way over a season. At any connector or deck penetration, a dab of dielectric grease keeps corrosion out of the pins, which matters in a wet mast base or a damp bilge. And if you're routing the cable through a conduit down below, pull it gently and don't kink the jacket. This is marine cable, but the outer jacket still earns its keep protecting the conductors inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn compatibility, this cable is made for the Raymarine RSW Wired Wind transducer specifically. It's not a substitute for a network backbone or a spur cable, and it's not a generic sensor lead. It does one job. It carries your wind signal from the RSW vane down to where it joins your Raymarine instrument system, so your i70s, your Axiom, or whatever display you're running can show speed and angle without a separate interface box in the middle. If you already run Raymarine wind instruments and you're moving to the Smart Wind vane, this is the cable that completes the wired install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line. If you need the long run for a tall mast and you want the cleanest wired path for your RSW wind data, the R70944 is the right part. Get the length correct the first time, route it with a little care, and it'll quietly do its job for years. We keep the common RSW cable lengths in stock, so if you're not sure whether 30 meters is the right run for your boat, give us a shout and we'll help you measure it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30 meter (approx. 98 ft) length reaches from the masthead down to a below-deck instrument network on tall rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFitted plug on the mast-top end mates directly to the RSW Wired Wind transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBare-wire opposite end for a clean termination below deck\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarries wind data down the mast with no ITC-5 converter required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePurpose-built for the Raymarine RSW Wired Wind (Smart Wind) transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOuter jacket built to hold up through mast interior and deck-penetration runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeeds apparent wind speed and angle into your Raymarine instrument display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Raymarine reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does the R70944 cable do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's the 30 meter cable that carries wind data from a Raymarine RSW Wired Wind transducer at the masthead down to your instrument network below deck.
