Detailed description

The Raymarine RayNet to RJ45 cable (A80159), 10 metres long, is an essential component for interconnecting marine navigation equipment. Designed to extend the flexibility of Raymarine’s SeaTalk^hs network, this cable allows you to connect a device with a RayNet port to a standard network device equipped with an RJ45 connector. This capability is particularly useful for linking Raymarine multifunction displays (MFDs) to routers, computers, or other non-RayNet Ethernet peripherals aboard.

Connectivity and Network Integration

This A80159 cable is a key adapter in a modern navigation environment. While Raymarine systems primarily use RayNet connections for their SeaTalk^hs network (a proprietary marine Ethernet standard optimised for performance and watertight integrity), the inclusion of an RJ45 connector broadens integration possibilities. It differs from standard RayNet-to-RayNet cables, such as the Raymarine A62361 (1m) or A62362 (3m) series, by providing a gateway to more generic network equipment. This function is comparable to how other manufacturers offer solutions to integrate proprietary networks with standard systems, for example via NMEA 2000 to Ethernet gateways. RayNet itself is a complete Ethernet specification using a proprietary connector; this cable acts as a physical adapter to the standard RJ45.

Applications and Positioning

With its 10-metre length, the RayNet to RJ45 A80159 cable is suited to installations requiring significant separation between devices. It is typically used to connect a RayNet central unit to a Wi-Fi access point, a shipboard PC for software updates or data display, or to non-RayNet IP cameras that use standard RJ45 connectivity. This cable functions as an integration accessory rather than a core element of the RayNet backbone, complementing Raymarine network switches (for example, the HS-5 SeaTalk^hs Network Switch) to create a coherent and extended navigation ecosystem.

« RayNet to RJ45 network integration: expert review »

The 10m RayNet to RJ45 cable (A80159) is a practical component for extending connectivity in a Raymarine SeaTalkhs-based system. Its main value lies in bridging the proprietary RayNet network, optimized for marine environments, with standard Ethernet devices using a standard RJ45 connector. This enables integration with peripherals such as laptops, satellite communication routers, or third-party IP cameras without compromising the waterproofing and robustness of the primary RayNet connections.

During installation, plan the routing of this 10m cable to avoid electromagnetic interference, especially in areas where other power or data cables are present. While the RayNet connector offers excellent resistance to moisture, the male RJ45 end must be protected if installed in an exposed location. This cable is particularly useful for boats integrating non-Raymarine solutions or relocating network access to a less critical area, such as a chart table or cabin, where a standard Ethernet switch can be used. It does not replace a RayNet switch for an extended MFD network but complements the architecture by providing interfacing flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Raymarine RayNet to RJ45 cable (A80159) used for?

This cable is designed to interconnect Raymarine marine navigation equipment with a RayNet port to standard network devices using an RJ45 connector. It extends the flexibility of your Raymarine SeaTalkhs network by connecting, for example, a Raymarine multifunction display (MFD) to a Wi-Fi router, onboard computer, or other non-RayNet Ethernet devices.

What is the exact length of this RayNet to RJ45 cable?

The Raymarine RayNet to RJ45 cable (reference A80159) is 10 meters long.

What is the difference between a RayNet to RJ45 cable and a RayNet to RayNet cable?

The main difference lies in the types of connectors at each end:

A RayNet to RJ45 cable (such as model A80159) has a RayNet connector on one end and a standard RJ45 connector on the other. It is used to connect a Raymarine device to a generic network device.A RayNet to RayNet cable has RayNet connectors on both ends. It is used to connect two Raymarine devices within a SeaTalkhs network.

Which Raymarine devices is this cable compatible with?

This cable is compatible with all Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD) and other devices equipped with a RayNet port, which is part of Raymarine’s proprietary SeaTalkhs marine Ethernet network. It allows connection to a standard Ethernet network via the RJ45 connector.

Can I use this cable to connect my Raymarine system to a Wi-Fi router or a PC?

Yes, absolutely. The RJ45 end of this cable is specifically designed to connect to standard Ethernet devices, such as Wi-Fi routers, onboard computers, network switches, or other Ethernet access points. This allows you to integrate your Raymarine equipment into a larger network or access features like software updates or data visualization on a PC.

Are the connectors on this cable designed for marine environments?

The RayNet connector is a proprietary design by Raymarine, specifically engineered for marine environments. It is robust and provides a watertight and reliable connection. However, the RJ45 connector is an Ethernet standard and is not inherently watertight. It is therefore critical to protect the RJ45 end from moisture and water spray during installation aboard a boat, using watertight housings or installing it in a dry location.

Does this cable support high-speed network communications for marine data?

Yes, this cable is designed to support high-speed Ethernet communications, which is essential for Raymarine’s SeaTalkhs network. It enables fast transfer of navigation data, radar images, charts, and other critical information between Raymarine devices and standard network peripherals connected via the RJ45 interface.

Are there any special precautions to take when installing this cable on board a boat?

When installing in a marine environment, it is recommended to:

Protect the RJ45 end: Ensure the RJ45 connector is installed in a dry location, protected from moisture, water spray, and corrosion, as it is not waterproof.Cable routing: Avoid running the cable near sources of electromagnetic interference (engines, high-voltage cables).Securing: Secure the cable to prevent excessive strain on connectors and to avoid damage from vibrations or boat movement.Bend radius: Respect the minimum bend radius to prevent damage to the cable’s internal conductors.
