Fistmic adapter cable (12 to 8 pins) 0.4 meter length

The Raymarine Fistmic adapter cable A80296 is designed to ensure compatibility between marine communication equipment. This 0.4-meter cable allows connecting a Fistmic microphone equipped with a 12-pin connector to a Raymarine device with an 8-pin input. It facilitates the integration of specific peripherals in existing or new configurations.

Integration and connectivity

With its 0.4-meter length, the A80296 adapter cable provides a compact and direct connection solution, avoiding excessive cable lengths in helm or console spaces. It is part of Raymarine’s wiring accessories range, complementing solutions such as SeaTalk or NMEA cables, focusing on audio and control interfaces specific to Fistmic microphones. While other cables concentrate on data networks, this adapter addresses a physical and electrical connection issue for a user peripheral.

Technical specifications

This Raymarine Fistmic adapter cable A80296 is a passive component that ensures physical pinout conversion. It maintains signal integrity between the microphone and the main unit without requiring additional software configuration or electronic modules. It should be distinguished from protocol converters such as NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 gateways, which handle complex digital data transformations, as the A80296 is purely an adaptive wiring solution.
