Raymarine Quantum Data Cable 5M

The Raymarine Quantum 5M data cable (part number A80274) is a critical component designed to provide a wired connection between Raymarine Quantum radomes (including Quantum and Quantum 2 Doppler) and a compatible Raymarine multifunction display. It ensures reliable transmission of radar data, such as target and image information, to the navigation screen.

This Raymarine Quantum data cable has a fixed length of 5 meters. Other Quantum data cable lengths are available to suit installations requiring different distances.

No, this cable is exclusively for data transmission between the Quantum radome and the multifunction display. Powering the Quantum radome requires a dedicated power cable, which is a separate component.

The Raymarine Quantum data cable uses a RayNet connector. This connector is standard within the Raymarine ecosystem for Ethernet network connections.

Yes, like all Raymarine products designed for navigation, this cable is built to provide enhanced robustness and reliability, even in harsh marine environments, ensuring stable and durable performance.

Yes, the Quantum 5M data cable with part number A80274 is an official Raymarine product, designed to integrate seamlessly within the Raymarine navigation ecosystem.

This cable is a 5-meter data cable, specifically designed for Raymarine Quantum radars. It uses a RayNet connector for reliable data transmission, providing minimal latency and increased robustness compared to wireless connections.

This cable is specifically compatible with Raymarine Quantum and Quantum 2 Doppler radomes.

This cable is compatible with the following Raymarine multifunction displays:

Axiom SeriesElement SerieseS SeriesgS Seriesa Series (a9/a12 models)c Series (c9/c12 models)

This cable is not compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays from the following series:

Series A (models a6/a7)C-Series WidescreenE-Series WidescreenC-Series ClassicE-Series ClassicG-Serieshsb/hsb2/SL-seriesC-MapRaychart

No, this cable is specifically designed for the Raymarine ecosystem and is only compatible with Raymarine Quantum radomes and Raymarine multifunction displays.

The data cable provides a wired connection that can be used as an alternative or in addition to the Wi-Fi connection. A wired connection ensures greater robustness and minimal latency, which is particularly advantageous in complex marine environments or when Wi-Fi performance is unstable.

Yes, by establishing a reliable data connection, this cable enables your compatible multifunction display to access and display all advanced Quantum radar features, including Doppler technology for moving target identification and CHIRP processing.

The cable connects on one end to the data port of the Raymarine Quantum radome and on the other to an available RayNet port on your compatible Raymarine multifunction display. Ensure the connectors are properly aligned and fully seated.

Yes, it is recommended to follow best practices for routing marine cables. This includes avoiding sharp bends, protecting the cable from abrasion and pinching, and keeping it away from sources of electromagnetic interference. Respecting the minimum bend radius is also important to avoid damaging the internal conductors.

Installing the cable itself generally does not require specialized tools for RayNet connectors. However, you may need basic tools for routing and securing cables aboard your vessel, such as cable ties, drills for cable passages, and cutting tools.

For distances over 5 meters, it is strongly recommended to use a Quantum data cable of the appropriate length, supplied by Raymarine. Attempting to extend this cable using non-approved methods could compromise data transmission reliability and system performance.

The Quantum radar installation manual states that grounding is not required for this cable’s data connection. The cable shielding is typically sufficient for interference protection.

After connecting the cable and powering on the radar, the multifunction display should automatically detect the radar. Initial setup steps may be required, such as aligning the radar's heading to ensure precise overlay on charts, as detailed in the Quantum radar installation instructions.

Raymarine cables are designed to provide sufficient flexibility for typical routing aboard a vessel while maintaining their structural integrity and data transmission performance. It is important to respect the minimum bend radius specified in the documentation to avoid damaging the cable and affecting its performance.
