Overview

The Simrad AA010211 is a 10 m (33 ft) scanner connection cable for Broadband 3G and 4G radar scanners. It is used to link the radar scanner mounted on a mast, arch, or hardtop to the rest of the radar system at the helm.

Use it for a new install when your planned cable path is around 10 meters, or as a replacement if an existing scanner cable has been damaged by chafe, UV exposure, or repeated flexing at a strain point.

Key features

• 10 m (33 ft) cable length for routing from a Broadband radar scanner to the helm electronics
• Intended for Broadband 3G and Broadband 4G radar scanners
• External scanner connection cable for new installations or direct replacement
• Extra reach to route through towers, masts, hardtops, and cable chases without relocating the display

Compatibility and fit

This cable is for Simrad Broadband radar scanners in the 3G and 4G families. Match the scanner model on your boat before ordering, since radar cabling is system-specific and connectors are not interchangeable across different scanner generations.

Installation and setup

Plan the run from the scanner to the helm first, measuring the real path through bends, conduits, and any deck penetrations. Leave a small service loop at each end so the scanner or display can be removed later without putting strain on the connectors.

When pulling the cable, protect it anywhere it passes through fiberglass, aluminum, or stainless hardware with a proper gland or chafe guard, and secure the run so it cannot slap or vibrate inside a mast or hardtop. Keep the cable away from sharp edges and hot engine-room surfaces.

Use cases on board

This is a good match for refits where a 3G or 4G scanner stays on the boat but the existing cable is too short, worn, or corroded at the ends. It also fits new installs where the scanner is mounted high for a clear sweep and the helm electronics are down a level or aft in the console.

What’s included

• 1 x 10 m (33 ft) Broadband 3G/4G scanner connection cable

Maintenance and care

During routine checks, look for jacket wear at entry points, tie-downs, and any place the cable flexes. After heavy weather or washdowns, inspect the connections for salt buildup and make sure the cable is still supported so the ends are not carrying the weight of the run.
