RD418HD 4kW 18" (456mm) HD Color+ Radome with Raynet 10m Radar Cable

The Raymarine RD418HD radome has a transmission power of 4 kW.

The HD Color+ technology enables radar echoes to be displayed with enhanced color precision. This improves target discrimination by distinguishing between different echo intensities, providing a clearer view of the maritime environment, useful for detecting vessels, buoys, or weather conditions.

The Raymarine RD418HD radome is supplied with a 10-metre Raynet radar cable. This cable is designed for direct connection to compatible Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD).

The RD418HD radome is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays featuring Raynet connectivity. This typically includes the Axiom, eS/gS Series, and C/E-Series Widescreen models. For older series such as the C/E-Series Classic, a SeaTalkHS to Raynet adapter may be required.

Yes, radar technology, including that of the RD418HD, can detect precipitation and other weather formations. This feature can help navigators anticipate and avoid bad weather.

The Raymarine RD418HD radome, with its 4 kW power output, typically provides a maximum detection range of up to 48 nautical miles, depending on environmental conditions and target size.

The minimum detection range of the RD418HD radar is typically about 20 to 25 yards (approximately 18 to 23 meters), which is useful for navigation in congested areas or near obstacles.

The radome connects to the boat's network via the included 10-metre Raynet cable. Raynet is Raymarine's proprietary Ethernet network system, enabling direct integration with compatible multifunction displays.

Installing the radome requires following the product-specific mounting instructions to ensure optimal performance and secure integration. It is critical to respect safety distances from magnetic compasses and to ensure proper cable routing to avoid interference.

It is recommended to maintain a safety distance of at least 1 meter (approximately 3 feet) between the RD418HD radome and any magnetic compass to avoid interference and ensure navigation accuracy.

Yes, it is possible to extend the Raynet cable by using additional Raynet extension cables available from Raymarine, as well as Raynet couplers or switches if needed, to adapt the length to your boat's installation.

Yes, the RD418HD radome is designed for marine use and is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to salt water, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures. It has an appropriate waterproof rating for outdoor installations.

The RD418HD radome is designed to withstand wind speeds up to 100 knots (approximately 185 km/h).

Yes, the radome is usually supplied with the necessary hardware kit for standard installation on a mount or flat surface. It is always recommended to check the contents of the package upon receipt.

Raynet is Raymarine's proprietary Ethernet network system. It is used to connect Raymarine devices (such as multifunction displays, radars, and fishfinders) together, enabling fast and reliable data transfer. It uses watertight and rugged connectors suitable for marine environments.
