Raymarine RayNet to RayNet 400mm cable

A RayNet cable is a proprietary Ethernet cable developed by Raymarine to interconnect its marine navigation equipment. It uses specific connectors and is designed to ensure reliable and fast data transmission within a Raymarine network, particularly for chartplotting, radar, sonar, and video data.

This RayNet cable (part number A80161) is 400 millimetres (0.4 metres) long. This length is particularly suited to installations where space is limited and a short, direct connection is required.

The RayNet A80161 cable is used to establish a stable and fast Ethernet link between two Raymarine devices compatible with RayNet. It enables high-speed data transmission for functions such as chartplotting, radar and sonar data, or sharing information between different multifunction displays.

Yes, like all Raymarine equipment, this cable is designed to withstand the demanding conditions of the marine environment. Its design aligns with the brand's robustness standards, ensuring durability against moisture, vibrations, and temperature variations.

RayNet cables are designed to support high-speed Ethernet data transmissions, typically 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) or 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) depending on the connected devices. They ensure consistent network performance for seamless integration with Raymarine navigation systems.

Yes, cable A80161 is an original Raymarine product. It is manufactured to Raymarine's strict specifications to ensure compatibility and optimal performance with their equipment.

This cable uses RayNet connectors at both ends. These are proprietary Raymarine connectors, waterproof and rugged, designed for secure and reliable connections in a marine environment.

The 400mm length is ideal for compact installations where devices are very close to each other. It minimizes clutter, avoids unnecessary cable loops, and results in a cleaner, more professional installation while maintaining signal integrity.

This cable is compatible with all Raymarine devices equipped with a RayNet port. This includes, but is not limited to, Axiom series multifunction displays, Quantum radars, and other Raymarine network peripherals using this proprietary Ethernet connectivity.

No, the RayNet A80161 cable is specifically designed for Raymarine equipment with RayNet ports. The connectors and protocol are proprietary, making it incompatible with other brands' devices that use standard Ethernet connectors or other proprietary systems.

The RayNet cable is compatible with modern Raymarine systems that use RayNet connectivity. Older Raymarine systems that did not use this proprietary Ethernet connector type (e.g., SeaTalk or SeaTalkNG for low-speed data) will require different adapters or cables if Ethernet interconnection is desired and supported.

Yes, the RayNet cable A80161 is fully compatible with Raymarine Axiom multifunction displays, as these units are equipped with RayNet ports for Ethernet network connectivity.

Yes, the RayNet cable A80161 is compatible with Raymarine Quantum radars. It enables connecting the Quantum radar to a Raymarine multifunction display compatible with RayNet for radar data transmission.

Installation involves connecting one end of the cable to a RayNet port on a Raymarine device and the other end to a RayNet port on a second device. Ensure the connectors are fully engaged and the locking collars (if present) are tightened to guarantee a watertight and secure connection.

Avoid bending the cable at sharp angles to prevent damage to the internal conductors. Ensure connectors are clean and dry before plugging them in. Tighten the RayNet connector locking rings to ensure a watertight and secure connection. Secure the cable properly to prevent it from swinging or being subjected to excessive tension at sea.

Yes, it is possible to extend a RayNet network using cables of different lengths and/or RayNet couplers (sold separately) if needed. However, for optimal performance, it is recommended to use the shortest and most direct cable length for each connection.

No, installing this RayNet cable typically does not require specific tools. The connectors are designed to be plugged and unplugged by hand, with manual tightening of the locking rings to ensure waterproofing.

Yes, the RayNet A80161 cable is compatible with Raymarine network switches (such as the RayNet HS5 switches). It can be used to connect RayNet devices to these switches to extend and organize your navigation network.
