Overview

The Raymarine A80559 is an adapter cable that connects a CPT-S or 9-pin DownVision transducer to an Element HV display with a 15-pin transducer port. At 385 mm long, it handles the connector change without forcing a full transducer replacement, which matters when you are updating electronics at the helm but keeping a compatible transducer already installed in the hull or on the transom.

It is used in Element HV sonar installations where the transducer side is 9-pin and the display side is 15-pin. In a legacy setup, it can connect straight to the transducer lead or sit between the display and a compatible extension cable when the existing run needs more reach.

Key features

• Links a Raymarine CPT-S or 9-pin DownVision transducer to an Element HV display with a 15-pin transducer connection
• 385 mm adapter length for the connector transition close to the display
• Works in direct transducer-to-display installs and in legacy cable runs that use a compatible extension cable
• Supports Element HV use with compatible CPT-S High CHIRP and DownVision transducers, including CPT-90 DVS, CPT-100 DVS, CPT-110, and CPT-120
• Useful when replacing the display while keeping a compatible transducer already mounted on the boat

Compatibility and fit

This cable is for boats already using a compatible Raymarine CPT-S or DownVision transducer and moving to an Element HV display. The main fit check is simple: the transducer side must be the Raymarine 9-pin CPT-S or DownVision connection, and the display side must be the 15-pin transducer socket used on Element HV units.

It is a transducer adapter, not a network or power lead. That makes it the right part when the sonar hardware on the boat is still serviceable and the change is happening at the display end of the system.

Installation and setup

Because this is a short adapter, it is normally fitted close to the display where the connector standard changes. That makes it useful on refit jobs where the existing transducer cable is already routed through the boat and the goal is to keep that run in place.

Where a longer legacy transducer run is already in the boat, the adapter can be placed between the Element HV display and a compatible extension cable. Support the cable near the connector, avoid tight bends behind the helm, and keep the connection out of areas that stay wet after washdowns.

Use on board

This is a good match for owners replacing the display without pulling a compatible transducer out of the transom or hull. It also makes sense on center consoles, trailer boats, RIBs, and small cruisers where access behind panels is limited and keeping the original cable route saves time and avoids extra installation work.
