Cyclone 25M Power Cable

The Raymarine A80654 power cable is an essential component designed to provide stable and reliable electrical power to Raymarine Cyclone and Cyclone Pro radar systems. It connects the VCM100 voltage converter module to the radar socket.

This Raymarine A80654 power cable has a fixed length of 25 meters. This length is specifically designed to provide installation flexibility across various vessel types, ensuring the radar receives the necessary power even when the VCM100 is installed at a distance.

Using original Raymarine power cables, such as model A80654, is strongly recommended for several reasons:

Compliance with standards: This ensures compliance with electromagnetic standards (EMC) such as IEC 60945 and ETSI EN 302 248.Electrical safety: It ensures compliance with electrical safety standards (EN IEC 62368-1+A11:2020).System stability: Original cables are specifically designed and validated by the manufacturer to guarantee the stability and optimal performance of the Cyclone or Cyclone Pro radar system. Using generic cables could compromise these aspects.

Yes, like all Raymarine power cables designed for marine environments and sensitive equipment, the A80654 cable includes shielding. This shielding is essential to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure clean, reliable power transmission to the Cyclone or Cyclone Pro radar.

Yes, the Raymarine A80654 power cable is specifically designed for marine use. It is manufactured with materials resistant to corrosion, moisture, UV, and temperature variations, ensuring durability and reliability even in harsh conditions.

The exact reference for this power cable is A80654. This is the unique part number assigned by Raymarine for this specific 25-meter power cable designed for Cyclone and Cyclone Pro radars.

This power cable is exclusively compatible with Raymarine Cyclone and Raymarine Cyclone Pro radar systems. It is specifically designed to operate with these models to ensure optimal performance and compliance.

No, the A80654 power cable is specifically designed for Cyclone and Cyclone Pro series radars. It is not compatible with other Raymarine radar models, as power requirements and connectors may differ, which could cause malfunctions or damage.

Yes, this cable is designed to work in conjunction with the VCM100 voltage converter module. It provides the electrical connection between the VCM100 and the Cyclone or Cyclone Pro radar socket, ensuring correct power supply to the system.

No, the A80654 power cable is a dedicated power cable for Cyclone and Cyclone Pro radars. It is not designed for direct connection to Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD), which use data cables (such as RayNet) for communication with the radar.

The VCM100 module (Voltage Converter Module) is an essential component. The A80654 power cable connects the VCM100 to the Cyclone or Cyclone Pro radar socket. The VCM100 is responsible for converting the vessel's input voltage into a suitable and stable voltage for the radar's operation.

Yes, it is important to follow the cable routing guidelines. Cables must be routed to avoid interference with other equipment and to minimize the risk of physical damage. A minimum bending radius must be respected to prevent damage to the internal conductors and the cable shielding. Always consult the Cyclone radar installation manual for specific details.

Yes, strain relief is essential when installing A80654 cable, particularly at connection points and where it passes through openings. This prevents excessive mechanical stress on the cable and its connectors, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the electrical connection.

Raymarine Cyclone radar installation documentation specifies the use of ferrite chokes on certain cables to ensure EMC compliance. It is mandatory to refer to the Cyclone or Cyclone Pro radar installation manual to determine whether chokes are required and where they must be installed on cable A80654 or adjacent cables.

When installing cable A80654, it is critical to ensure proper circuit isolation. This means the radar’s power circuit must be isolated from the vessel’s other circuits to prevent ground loops and electrical interference. Correct wiring practices and the use of appropriate components are required to maintain insulation integrity.

Cable A80654 is a pre-assembled 25-meter power cable. It is designed by Raymarine with the appropriate internal wire gauge to ensure optimal and safe electrical power supply to Cyclone and Cyclone Pro radars over this length. There is no need to worry about the internal wire gauge, as the cable is a complete unit.

Yes, a circuit breaker or fuse must be installed on the power line of the VCM100 module (which is then connected to the radar via the A80654 cable). The specific rated values for the circuit breaker or fuse are detailed in the Cyclone or Cyclone Pro radar installation manual and must be respected for system safety and protection.

The A80654 power cable is supplied in a fixed length of 25 meters. It is designed as an integral unit to ensure performance, reliability, and compliance with standards. It is not recommended to cut or extend it, as this could compromise its integrity, electrical performance, and compliance with regulations.

Yes, the Raymarine A80654 power cable, as a component of Cyclone radar systems, is designed to comply with electrical safety standards. It meets EN IEC 62368-1+A11:2020, which ensures the safety of electronic equipment.

Yes, this cable is designed to meet electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards to ensure interference-free operation. It complies with IEC 60945:2002 (including Corrigendum 1 (2008)) and ETSI EN 302 248 V2.1.1 for spectrum use, ensuring seamless integration into the vessel's electronic environment.
