Detailed description

Specifically designed for Raymarine navigation systems integration, the R70945 mast cable (50 meters) is a critical component for the RSW Smart Wind wind sensor. This cable links the wind sensor at the masthead to the bridge unit (gateway) or the vessel’s SeaTalk NG network, ensuring accurate and reliable data transmission over long distances.

RSW Smart Wind system integration and performance

Raymarine’s RSW Smart Wind system, like B&G’s wind solutions with its H5000 sensors or Garmin’s wind transducers (GWS 10/20), stands out for its integrated approach to wind measurement. The R70945 cable is sized for installations on tall masts, enabling fitment across a wide range of sailboats, from cruisers to regatta racers. Its 50-meter length provides notable installation flexibility, eliminating the need for intermediate splices that could introduce signal loss or failure points. This feature is critical for maintaining the integrity of wind data—including angle and speed—which is vital for autopilot operation and sail performance optimization.

Technical design for marine environments

This cable is a passive yet strategic element of the system. It is engineered to withstand marine environment stresses, including UV exposure, saltwater, and temperature fluctuations. Cable quality is paramount to avoid electromagnetic interference and ensure stable communication between the wind sensor and the RSW bridge, which in turn distributes data via the NMEA 2000 network (SeaTalk NG in Raymarine systems) to multifunction displays such as Axiom, Element, or i70/i70s instruments. Choosing a dedicated cable like the R70945 over a generic solution guarantees compatibility and performance for Raymarine’s Smart Wind wind sensor, contributing to the longevity and precision of the entire navigation system.

« Raymarine R70945 mast cable: backbone of the RSW Smart Wind sensor »

The integration of a high-performance masthead wind sensor like the Raymarine RSW Smart Wind directly depends on the quality and length of the wiring. The R70945 mast cable, with its 50 meters, is designed to meet the requirements of installations on medium to large sailboats. Its length allows for direct routing from the sensor to the mast base or navigation console, reducing the risks of multiple connections and signal loss.

During installation, it is essential to follow best practices for cable routing inside the mast, including provision for drip loops and protection against abrasion. Although the cable itself is a passive component, its robustness against mechanical and environmental stresses (UV, humidity, salt) is critical for the system's lifespan. Using this proprietary cable ensures electrical compatibility and data fidelity, avoiding issues with interference or signal degradation that could occur with unspecified cables.

This model is essential for any new installation or replacement of the RSW Smart Wind sensor, particularly on boats where cable routing is long or complex. It represents an investment in the long-term reliability of your wind data, a fundamental parameter for safety and performance at sea.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the purpose of this 50-meter Raymarine mast cable?

This cable is specifically designed to connect the Raymarine RSW Smart Wind intelligent wind sensor. It links the wind sensor located at the masthead to the bridge unit (gateway) or the vessel's SeaTalk NG network, ensuring accurate and reliable data transmission over long distances.

Which Raymarine wind sensor is this cable compatible with?

This cable is exclusively compatible with the Raymarine RSW Smart Wind wired intelligent wind sensor. It is an essential component for integrating this specific system.

What is the exact length of this cable?

This mast cable is 50 meters long. This length is suitable for installations on tall masts, providing notable installation flexibility and helping to avoid intermediate splices.

How does this cable connect to the navigation system?

The cable connects the RSW Smart Wind wind sensor to the RSW gateway unit or directly to the vessel's SeaTalk NG network. The gateway then distributes the data via the NMEA 2000 network (SeaTalk NG on Raymarine systems) to multifunction displays and compatible instruments.

Is this cable compatible with Raymarine's SeaTalk NG network?

Yes, this cable is a key component of the RSW Smart Wind system, which is designed to integrate with Raymarine's SeaTalk NG network. It enables the transmission of wind sensor data to this network for display on your instruments.

Are there any recommendations for cable routing inside the mast?

Yes, during installation, it is important to follow general marine wiring guidelines. This includes respecting cable bend radii, ensuring strain relief, and creating a drip loop for mast cables to prevent water ingress. Careful routing helps maintain signal integrity.

What is the resistance of this cable to marine conditions?

This cable is specifically designed for the marine environment. It is manufactured to withstand constraints such as UV exposure, saltwater, and temperature variations, ensuring durability and stable, reliable communication.

Can I cut this cable if 50 meters is too long for my installation?

Yes, the RSW Smart Wind wind sensor installation instructions state that the cable can be cut to the desired length and connected to the bridge. It is critical to follow Raymarine's provided instructions to ensure a correct and reliable connection after cutting.
