RayNet to RayNet 2 m cable

A RayNet cable is a proprietary Ethernet cable designed by Raymarine. It is specifically used to interconnect Raymarine navigation and communication equipment onboard a boat, enabling high-speed data transmission for information such as radar, high-resolution fishfinder, IP video, and chartplotter mapping.

This RayNet cable (reference A62361) is 2 meters long. This length is ideal for short connections between Raymarine devices in close proximity, such as a multifunction display and a control module or another adjacent screen.

Yes, RayNet connectors are specifically designed to be watertight and resistant to marine environments. They ensure a secure and reliable connection even in wet conditions, exposed to spray or splashes, which is essential for marine equipment.

Although both transmit Ethernet data, the RayNet cable uses proprietary Raymarine connectors specifically designed for marine environments. These connectors are more robust, waterproof, and feature a secure locking mechanism, unlike standard RJ45 connectors, which are not built to withstand marine conditions without additional protection.

This RayNet cable can transmit high-bandwidth data, essential for modern navigation systems, including:

High-resolution radar imagesCHIRP, DownVision, SideVision, and RealVision fishfinder dataVideo streams from compatible IP camerasDetailed marine cartography informationVarious navigation data between multifunction displays

Yes, Raymarine RayNet cables, including model A62361, are generally designed with shielding. This shielding helps minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiofrequency interference (RFI), ensuring stable and uninterrupted data transmission in the complex electronic environment of a boat.

The RayNet cable A62361 is a direct connection cable. It is typically supplied alone, without additional mounting accessories. The connectors are designed to be plugged directly into compatible Raymarine RayNet ports.

This cable is compatible with all Raymarine equipment featuring a RayNet port. This includes multifunction displays from the Axiom, Axiom+, eS Series ranges, as well as Raymarine radar modules, depth sounder modules, and IP cameras equipped with this interface.

No, the RayNet cable is a proprietary Raymarine system. It is not designed to connect directly to equipment from other brands that do not use RayNet ports. For interconnection with non-Raymarine systems, specific RayNet to Ethernet RJ45 adapters may be required, but they are not included with this cable.

Raymarine displays from the C-Series Widescreen and E-Series Widescreen ranges (as well as the gS series) are generally equipped with RayNet ports. However, very old generations (classic C-Series, classic E-Series) used standard Ethernet RJ45 connections. It is recommended to check your display model specifications to confirm the presence of a RayNet port.

Yes, this RayNet cable is compatible with Raymarine fishfinder modules that have a RayNet port, such as the CP370, CP470, CP570, or RVX1000 modules. It enables the transmission of high-resolution fishfinder data to your compatible multifunction display.

Yes, this cable is fully suitable for connecting a Raymarine digital or HD Color radar radome (e.g., Quantum, Quantum 2, or HD Color radomes) to a Raymarine multifunction display compatible with RayNet, ensuring radar image transmission.

No, the RayNet cable is an Ethernet cable for high-speed data transmission, while SeaTalkng (based on NMEA 2000) is a low-bandwidth data network for sensors and instruments. These two networks are distinct and require different cables and interfaces.

Yes, Raymarine provides specific adapters (e.g., the RayNet to RJ45 adapter cable) that allow connecting a RayNet cable to a standard RJ45 Ethernet port. However, this adapter is not included with the A62361 cable, which is a direct RayNet-to-RayNet cable.

Installing this cable is straightforward: plug one end of the cable into a RayNet port on a Raymarine device and the other end into a RayNet port on another Raymarine device. The connectors are designed to insert easily and lock into place for a secure connection. Ensure the ports are clean and dry before plugging in.

No, no specific tools are required to connect or disconnect this RayNet cable. The connectors are designed to be handled by hand, featuring a simple locking mechanism that ensures a secure connection and can be released manually.

No, RayNet cables are bidirectional. You can connect either end of the cable to any compatible RayNet port on your Raymarine devices. The important point is that both devices must have RayNet ports to establish the network connection.

Yes, it is possible to extend your RayNet network using additional RayNet cables. For long distances or complex network topologies involving multiple devices, using a RayNet switch (e.g., Raymarine HS5 SeaTalkhs Network Switch) is recommended to maintain network performance and reliability.

Yes, like all original Raymarine products, this RayNet cable is covered by the manufacturer's standard warranty. This warranty typically covers manufacturing and material defects under normal use conditions.

The manufacturer's standard warranty for this RayNet cable typically covers manufacturing defects and material-related issues. This means that if the cable malfunctions due to a design or manufacturing defect under normal operating conditions, it may be covered under the Raymarine warranty terms.
