Cablu 30 metri și conector pentru vârf de catarg

This cable is exactly 30 meters long. This generous length is ideal for equipping the masts of large sailboats without needing to add 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 only need to strip the wires to connect them to your display or converter.

Absolutely. This cable is designed to connect wind transducers 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 on one of its ends. This ensures perfect waterproofing and excellent resistance to UV rays and humidity at the top of the mast.

Although the connector is waterproof and molded, it is advisable to apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the pins before connection to prevent any 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 caused by corrosion in the marine environment.

Yes, the end of the cable that goes 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 climb to the masthead. However, running the cable inside the mast often requires the use of a messenger line to guide the new wiring without damaging it.

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

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

To avoid the unpleasant noise of the cable hitting 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 run it through a PVC conduit if your mast is equipped with one.

Yes, the outer sheath of the cable and the molded connector are made from materials treated to provide high resistance to UV, 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 spade terminals suitable for Raymarine instruments' standard terminal blocks.

This cable carries a low-intensity 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 your boat's watertight integrity, it is essential to route the cable through a properly sealed gland or a suitable deck gland when it passes through the deck or coachroof.

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

Yes, the connector (socket) can be replaced independently if damaged. Raymarine offers a specific replacement kit (reference A28161) including the socket, a locking nut, a gasket, and a mounting tool. This allows repairing the connection without having to replace the entire 30 meters of cable.

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