Raymarine RayNet Right Angle Adapter, For MFDs and RMK-9 Keypad, Male to Female

Overview

The Raymarine A80262 is a RayNet right-angle adapter for routing a Raymarine network connection where a straight cable exit would be tight or awkward. It uses a RayNet male connector on one end and a RayNet female connector on the other, with a 90-degree layout that helps keep the cable from bending sharply behind a display, keypad, or electronics panel.

This adapter is most useful on helm stations, dash panels, overhead electronics boxes, and other installations where there is limited space behind the equipment. It keeps the RayNet connection aligned with the available cable path, which can make the finished installation cleaner and reduce strain on the network cable.

Key features

• RayNet male to RayNet female adapter for Raymarine network cabling.
• 90-degree right-angle form helps route cables in tight spaces behind marine electronics.
• Useful with Raymarine multifunction displays and RMK-9 keypads where rear clearance is limited.
• Helps reduce the usual cable bend radius, which is important in compact helm and console installations.
• RayNet-to-RayNet connection, so it is used for cable routing rather than changing network type.

Installation and setup

Fit the adapter directly at the RayNet connection point where the cable needs to turn immediately after leaving the device or panel. Before closing the helm or electronics compartment, check that the adapter is fully seated and that the cable has a natural path without being pinched by covers, brackets, or nearby equipment.

For best results, plan the cable route before final mounting. The right-angle body can solve a clearance problem, but the connected cable still needs enough room for strain relief and service access later.

Compatibility and fit

This adapter is for Raymarine RayNet networking hardware and RayNet cables. It is a practical match for installations that already use RayNet connectors, including many Raymarine multifunction display setups and RMK-9 keypad installations.

It is not a converter for NMEA 2000, SeaTalkng, RJ45 Ethernet, or power wiring. Match it with the correct RayNet network cable and verify the connector orientation at the mounting location before installation.

Use cases on board

On a powerboat helm, sailboat nav station, or fishing console, this adapter helps when the network port sits close to a bulkhead, dash backing plate, or another mounted device. It is a small part, but it can make the difference between a cable that is forced into position and one that leaves the equipment with a cleaner, lower-stress route.
