Kafli Carbowind/aluwind Avionic 25m

The Avionic Carbowind/aluwind 25m cable is a critical component for installing the NKE Carbowind HR wind transducer / vane anemometer. Its Avionic design is specifically engineered to meet the stringent requirements of wind measurement systems at masthead. The 25-meter length is particularly suitable for medium to large sailboats, allowing the sensor to be connected from the masthead down to the NKE TOPLINE bus, typically located at the chart table or in a technical compartment.

Using this dedicated cable is mandatory to ensure the integrity of wind speed, wind direction, and air temperature signals transmitted by the Carbowind HR sensor. NKE systems rely on high-quality cabling to maintain data accuracy and responsiveness, which are critical in regattas or demanding offshore sailing. While the final connection to the TOPLINE bus requires an NKE connection box and the standard TOPLINE bus cable, this Avionic cable provides the critical link between the sensor and the network entry point.

During installation, special care must be taken with cable routing inside the mast to avoid chafing and compression zones. Its lightweight construction and small diameter facilitate passage, but adequate protection against mechanical stress and UV exposure is recommended to extend service life in a marine environment. This cable is not a generic TOPLINE bus cable; it is specifically calibrated for the Carbowind HR sensor, and replacing it with a non-NKE cable could compromise the performance of the entire anemometric system.
