Detailed description

The RayNet to SeaTalk HS 400mm adapter, part number A80160, is an essential component for integrating Raymarine navigation systems. Designed to facilitate the transition or coexistence between generations of equipment, this adapter connects a modern RayNet network to devices using the older SeaTalk HS standard. Its 400mm length is suited for installations requiring a direct and compact connection.

Connectivity and network compatibility

The RayNet system, based on waterproof RJ45 connectors, is used in Raymarine multifunction chartplotters of the latest generation, such as the Axiom and Element series, as well as their high-performance peripherals (Quantum radars, RV sounder modules). Meanwhile, the SeaTalk HS standard was used on older multifunction displays like the E-Classic, E-Wide, or C-Wide series, as well as some digital radars. The A80160 adapter provides a physical interface between these two network architectures, ensuring high-speed data communication continuity for radars, sonars, and chart sharing.

Integration into a hybrid system

This adapter is particularly relevant for users looking to upgrade their primary multifunction display to a RayNet platform (e.g., an Axiom) while retaining functional SeaTalk HS peripherals (such as an older digital radar). Instead of replacing the entire system, the A80160 enables gradual integration. It differs from standard RayNet cables, which do not offer this connector conversion, and from SeaTalk HS cables, which are no longer produced for new installations. This product is a RayNet (female) to SeaTalk HS (female) 400mm adapter cable.

Expert opinion

« RayNet and SeaTalk HS Interconnection: Raymarine A80160 Solution »

The RayNet to SeaTalk HS adapter (A80160) is a key component for managing hybrid network infrastructures aboard. When upgrading Raymarine systems, it is common to retain older peripherals, such as certain radars or digital depth sounder modules, which used the SeaTalk HS connection. This adapter enables seamless integration with new RayNet multifunction displays (Axiom and Element ranges). Its purpose is to bridge the gap between the proprietary connectors of the older generation and the new IP67-rated RJ45 standard.

In terms of installation, its 400mm length is designed primarily for direct connections within a dashboard or near a network switch. It is critical to verify compatibility of existing SeaTalk HS devices with the features of recent RayNet MFDs, as the adapter only handles the physical layer. It does not correct potential software limitations or data communication protocol issues between products from vastly different generations. It is particularly well-suited for mid-sized sailboats and powerboats undergoing gradual electronics modernization.

What is the RayNet to SeaTalk HS adapter A80160 used for?

This adapter is designed to connect a modern RayNet network to devices using the older SeaTalk HS standard. It enables seamless integration between Raymarine navigation equipment from different generations, facilitating gradual system upgrades.

Which Raymarine devices are compatible with the RayNet connectivity of this adapter?

On the RayNet side, this adapter is compatible with Raymarine's latest-generation multifunction chartplotters, such as the Axiom and Element series, as well as their high-performance peripherals. This includes devices like Quantum radars and RV fishfinder modules.

Which Raymarine SeaTalk HS displays or peripherals are compatible with this adapter?

On the SeaTalk HS side, this adapter is compatible with older Raymarine multifunction displays, such as the E-Classic, E-Wide, or C-Wide series. It also allows connecting certain digital radars that used this standard.

What is the length of this adapter cable and what types of connectors does it use?

This adapter cable is 400mm long. It features a RayNet connector (female) at one end and a SeaTalk HS connector (female) at the other, enabling conversion between these two types of connections.

In which scenario is it recommended to use this adapter?

This adapter is particularly useful if you want to modernize your main multifunction display to a RayNet platform (e.g., an Axiom) while keeping existing SeaTalk HS peripherals functional, such as an older digital radar. It allows for gradual integration without having to replace the entire system.

How is this adapter different from a standard RayNet or SeaTalk HS cable?

Unlike a standard RayNet or SeaTalk HS cable, which connects devices of the same standard, the A80160 adapter performs a physical connector conversion between the two standards. It enables communication between RayNet devices and SeaTalk HS devices, which standard cables cannot do.

What type of data can be transmitted via this adapter?

This adapter is designed to ensure high-speed data communication continuity. This typically includes data for radars, sonars, and chart sharing between connected devices.

How does this adapter integrate into a Raymarine navigation system?

The A80160 adapter acts as a direct physical interface between a RayNet device or network and a SeaTalk HS device. Simply connect the RayNet side to your RayNet equipment and the SeaTalk HS side to your SeaTalk HS equipment to establish communication between them.
