Raymarine RF Cable, For 45STV, 30 m, Antenna to Receiver

Overview

The Raymarine E96008 is a 30 m RF cable for Raymarine 45STV satellite TV antenna installations. It is used in the RF signal path for a 45STV system, giving installers a longer cable run when the antenna is mounted on a hardtop, radar arch, mast area, or another elevated position away from the receiver equipment.

The 30 m length is useful on larger cruising and fishing boats where the cable needs to pass through deck penetrations, cable chases, lockers, and interior panels before reaching the entertainment or electronics area. For best results, it should be routed with clean bends, kept away from sharp edges, and secured so vibration and movement do not pull on the connectors.

Key features

• 30 m RF cable for Raymarine 45STV satellite TV systems.
• Suitable for longer antenna-to-equipment cable runs on boats where the antenna is mounted above the cabin or on an upper structure.
• Helps maintain a dedicated RF connection path for onboard satellite TV reception when installed as part of a compatible 45STV setup.
• Useful for refits, replacement cable runs, and new installations where the standard cable length is not enough.
• Marine installation friendly length for routing through hardtops, arches, deck glands, and interior cable paths.

Compatibility and fit

This cable is made for Raymarine 45STV satellite TV antenna systems. It is not a general GPS, NMEA 2000, SeaTalkNG, or RayNet network cable, so it should be matched to the satellite TV equipment layout before installation.

Before ordering, confirm that the vessel has a Raymarine 45STV system and that a 30 m RF cable run fits the planned route without forcing tight bends or leaving the connectors under strain. Cable routing should allow enough service loop at each end for future inspection and maintenance.

Installation and setup

During installation, route the cable away from sharp fiberglass edges, high-heat areas, and moving hardware. Any deck or bulkhead pass-through should be sealed using suitable marine cable glands or strain relief hardware to help protect the cable path from water intrusion.

On boats with crowded electronics spaces, keeping the RF cable run organized makes troubleshooting easier later. Avoid crushing the cable behind panels or bundling it tightly with heavy power cables where it may be harder to inspect or replace.

Use cases on board

This cable is a practical match for owners and installers working on a Raymarine 45STV satellite TV setup where the antenna position is some distance from the receiver or entertainment area. It is especially relevant during hardtop installations, radar arch refits, and replacement work where the existing cable length or condition no longer suits the boat.
