3-meter extension cable for RealVision 3D transducer

The Raymarine A80475 extension cable is a 3-metre cable designed specifically to extend the reach of Raymarine RealVision 3D sonar cables. It allows greater flexibility in positioning the transducer on your vessel, ensuring the central unit can be connected even over longer distances.

This Raymarine A80475 extension cable is 3 metres long.

This extension increases the distance between your RealVision 3D transducer and your compatible Raymarine multifunction display (MFD). It is essential for installations where the standard transducer cable length is insufficient, allowing optimal cable routing through the hull or boat compartments.

No, this extension is specifically designed by Raymarine to maintain the integrity of the high-frequency and wide-band signal from RealVision 3D transducers. When used within the recommended total length limits, it does not cause any noticeable degradation in image quality or detection.

The part number (SKU) for this extension is A80475.

Yes, like all Raymarine accessories, the A80475 extension is made with materials resistant to the marine environment, designed to withstand salt water, humidity, and UV, ensuring optimal durability and reliability.

This extension cable is specifically designed for transducers using Raymarine's RealVision 3D technology. It must not be used with other types of transducers that do not use this technology, as the connectors and signal specifications differ.

This extension is compatible with Raymarine RealVision 3D transducers, including models RV-100, RV-200, RV-300, RV-320, and other RealVision 3D transducers.

Yes, this extension cable is fully compatible with Raymarine Axiom multifunction displays (Axiom, Axiom+, Axiom Pro, Axiom XL) that support RealVision 3D technology, as it allows connecting the transducer to these units.

Yes, extension A80475 is compatible with Raymarine Element fishfinders that feature RealVision 3D technology, allowing extended connection between the transducer and the Element unit.

Although it is technically possible to connect multiple extension cables, Raymarine recommends limiting the total cable length of the transducer (transducer cable + extensions) to ensure optimal RealVision 3D signal performance. Consult your transducer or MFD manual for recommended maximum lengths.

No, this extension is specifically designed for RealVision 3D systems. It will not be compatible with older Raymarine chartplotter models that do not support this technology, as the connectors and signal processing differ.

Yes, there is a recommended maximum total cable length for the RealVision 3D transducer to maintain signal quality. Typically, the total length should not exceed 10 to 15 meters (transducer cable plus extension cables). Always check your specific transducer and MFD documentation for exact recommendations.

No, this extension is a proprietary Raymarine product and uses connectors specific to their RealVision 3D transducers. It is not compatible with transducers from other brands.

The A80475 extension cable connects directly between the cable of your RealVision 3D transducer and the transducer port on your Raymarine multifunction display. The connectors are designed to fit easily and securely. Ensure the alignment arrows on the connectors match before firmly screwing them to guarantee a watertight connection.

No, installing the A80475 extension typically does not require special tools. The connectors are hand-tightened. However, you may need basic tools for cable routing on your boat, such as cable ties or cable glands.

To ensure waterproofing, it is crucial to hand-tighten the connectors firmly until they are snug. Raymarine connectors are designed with integrated O-rings for water protection. It is recommended not to use tools to over-tighten, as this could damage the threads or the seals.

No, it is strongly advised against cutting or modifying the length of this extension. RealVision 3D transducer cables are precision cables with specific impedances. Any modification could alter the signal characteristics and degrade the performance of your transducer.

The cable must be routed to avoid sources of electrical interference (such as motor power cables, VHF radios), high-heat zones, and pinch or abrasion points. Ideally, it should be protected and secured along existing pathways or in conduits, avoiding tight bends.

Yes, it is always recommended to power down your multifunction display and your depth sounder system before connecting or disconnecting cables. This prevents any risk of short-circuit or damage to electronic components.
