Detailed description

The Raymarine A80490 adapter cable is designed to facilitate the integration of CPTxx series transducers (9-pin) with modern Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX multifunction displays (MFD) (25-pin). This solution allows users to preserve their investment in existing CPTxx transducers while benefiting from the advanced features of Axiom MFDs equipped with RealVision technology. Instead of replacing the entire transducer system, the A80490 provides a direct and reliable bridge.

Compatibility and technical positioning

This adapter cable positions the Axiom RV/Pro RVX range as a flexible upgrade for CPTxx transducer owners. While Axiom RV and Pro RVX MFDs natively integrate RealVision 3D, DownVision, and SideVision technologies via their 25-pin connectors, the A80490 cable ensures compatibility with CPTxx transducers that provide traditional CHIRP capabilities. It differs from full transducer conversion solutions by offering a simple connector adaptation, which is relevant for users who do not require complete RealVision features or wish to spread their upgrade costs.

Integration into the Raymarine system

The A80490 fits into the Raymarine ecosystem by enabling a smooth transition to Axiom series MFDs, particularly those running LightHouse 4. It ensures that depth and temperature data from CPTxx transducers are correctly transmitted and interpreted by Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX displays. It is a key component for installations where reusing existing equipment is a priority, offering an alternative to purchasing a new RealVision transducer when the CPTxx transducer still meets navigation and fishing needs. This cable does not modify the intrinsic capabilities of the CPTxx transducer but ensures its electrical and data connectivity with the specified MFDs.

« Raymarine A80490 Adapter: CPTxx transducer connectivity to Axiom RV/Pro RVX »

The Raymarine A80490 adapter cable addresses a specific and common need when upgrading marine electronic systems. It is primarily intended for boat owners looking to modernize their multifunction display to an Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX unit while retaining their existing Raymarine CHIRP CPTxx transducer. This situation is typical for recreational or fishing boats equipped with a still-functional CPTxx transducer whose performance meets their intended use, thus avoiding a costly and potentially complex replacement of the transducer.

In terms of installation, the A80490 is a "plug-and-play" component that connects directly between the CPTxx transducer (9-pin connector) and the 25-pin transducer port of the Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX. This greatly simplifies the upgrade process, requiring no additional software configuration for transducer recognition. It is ideal for quick integrations and optimized budgets.

It is critical to note that this adapter only enables data transmission from the CPTxx transducer. It will not provide CPTxx transducers with RealVision 3D, DownVision, or SideVision capabilities, as these features are inherently tied to dedicated RealVision transducers rather than the connection interface. Therefore, if the goal is to access these advanced imaging technologies, a specific RealVision transducer must be installed, making this adapter unnecessary in that scenario. The A80490 is thus the appropriate solution for maintaining the traditional CHIRP functionality of a CPTxx transducer on a new Axiom RV/Pro RVX platform.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the Raymarine A80490 adapter cable used for?

The Raymarine A80490 adapter cable is designed to connect a CPTxx series transducer (with a 9-pin connector) to Raymarine Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX multifunction displays (MFD) (which use a 25-pin connector). Its purpose is to allow the reuse of existing CPTxx transducers with the newer Axiom MFDs.

Which Raymarine transducer models is cable A80490 compatible with?

Cable A80490 is specifically designed for use with Raymarine CPTxx series transducers.

Which Raymarine multifunction displays (MFD) are compatible with cable A80490?

This cable is compatible with Raymarine multifunction displays Axiom RV and Axiom Pro RVX.

Does cable A80490 allow my CPTxx transducer to use RealVision 3D functions on an Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX?

No, cable A80490 connects a CPTxx transducer (which provides traditional CHIRP capabilities) to an Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX display. However, it does not enable RealVision 3D, DownVision, or SideVision features on the CPTxx transducer. These technologies are specific to RealVision transducers and the native 25-pin connectors of Axiom RV/Pro RVX MFDs.

What are the specifications of the connectors on cable A80490?

Cable A80490 features two types of connectors:

A 9-pin connector for connection to a CPTxx series transducer. A 25-pin connector designed to plug into a Raymarine Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX multifunction display.

Which data will my CPTxx transducer transmit via A80490 cable to my Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX MFD?

The A80490 cable transmits depth and temperature data collected by your CPTxx transducer to the Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX display. The display will interpret these data according to the CHIRP capabilities of the CPTxx transducer.

Does the installation of cable A80490 require special tools?

Installing cable A80490 is designed to be straightforward. It typically does not require any special tools beyond what may be needed to access the connection ports on your CPTxx transducer and Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX multifunction display. This is a direct 'plug-and-play' connection.

Is cable A80490 designed for other types of depth sounders or displays than those mentioned?

No, cable A80490 is specifically designed to adapt a CPTxx series depth sounder (9-pin) to an Axiom RV or Axiom Pro RVX display (25-pin). It is not intended for use with other types of depth sounders or displays with different pin configurations, nor to provide bidirectional compatibility.
