Cable types and length
It is important to use cables of the appropriate type and length
• Unless otherwise stated use only standard cables of the correct
type, supplied by Raymarine.
• Ensure that any non-Raymarine cables are of the correct quality
and gauge. For example, longer power cable runs may require
larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run.
Routing cables
Cables must be routed correctly, to maximize performance and
prolong cable life.
• Do NOT bend cables excessively. Wherever possible, ensure a
minimum bend radius of 100 mm.
Minimum bend of cable
100 mm (4 in) radius
Minimum bend

diameter
• Protect all cables from physical damage and exposure to heat.
Use trunking or conduit where possible. Do NOT run cables
through bilges or doorways, or close to moving or hot objects.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any
extra cable and tie it out of the way.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead,
use a suitable watertight feed-through.
• Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescent lights.
Always route data cables as far away as possible from:
