30 metra kabli og tengill fyrir masturhöfuð

This cable is exactly 30 meters long. This generous length is ideal for equipping the masts of large sailboats without requiring additional extensions.

The cable weighs 1.3 kg.

Yes, you can absolutely cut the excess cable at the base of the mast or at the chart table. You will then need to strip the wires to connect them to your display or converter.

Yes. This cable is designed to connect wind sensors at the masthead to i60 series displays, as well as to older generations like the ST60.

Yes, the cable is supplied with a factory-molded connector at one end. This ensures perfect waterproofing and excellent resistance to UV and moisture at the top of the rig.

Although the connector is waterproof and molded, it is advisable to apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the pins before connecting to prevent oxidation caused by sea air.

Using a single-piece cable eliminates intermediate junction points. These additional connections are often responsible for signal loss or failures due to corrosion in the marine environment.

Yes, the end of the cable that runs inside the boat consists of bare wires that can be directly connected to the terminals of an iTC-5 converter to integrate wind data into the SeaTalk NG network.

It is not strictly necessary to unstep the mast if you use a mast boot to install the cable at the masthead. However, running the cable inside the mast often requires a messenger line to guide the new wiring without damaging it.

Yes, this multi-strand cable is specifically designed to simultaneously transmit analog wind speed (anemometer) and direction (vane anemometer) data to your onboard instruments.

Yes, this cable is backward compatible with many wind sensors from older Raymarine and Autohelm generations (such as the ST50 series), using the same pin-based masthead connector.

To prevent the unpleasant noise of the cable slapping against the mast’s internal walls, it is recommended to secure it with cable ties (rilsans) arranged in a star pattern every meter, or to route it through a PVC conduit if your mast is equipped with one.

Yes, the outer jacket of the cable and the molded connector are made from materials treated for high UV resistance, essential for prolonged and continuous exposure at the top of the mast.

No, this cable has a proprietary connector specifically molded to fit Raymarine wind sensors. It is not designed for use with equipment from other marine electronics manufacturers.

The end that connects to the display or converter is usually supplied with bare wires or small flat terminals suited to Raymarine instruments' standard terminal blocks.

This cable carries a low-level analog signal from the wind transducer to the instrument or converter, which then digitizes the data for the rest of the onboard network.

Yes, to ensure watertight integrity, the cable must pass through a dedicated stuffing box or a gooseneck fitting when penetrating the deck or coachroof.

Absolutely. With its 30-meter length, it is perfectly sized for masts on 40 to 50-foot sailboats, providing enough slack for routing to the chart table or helm console.

Yes, the connector (socket) can be replaced independently if it breaks. Raymarine offers a specific replacement kit (part number A28161) including the socket, a locking nut, a gasket, and a mounting tool. This allows you to repair the connection without having to replace the entire 30-meter cable.

Before finalizing the installation and stepping the mast, you can temporarily connect the wind sensor to the connector and link the other end to your powered display. Rotate the vane anemometer by hand to verify that the data displays correctly on the screen.
