Raymarine RayNet Male to Male Cable Joiner, 100mm

Overview

The Raymarine A80162 is a 100 mm RayNet male-to-male cable joiner for extending a Raymarine RayNet network run by connecting two standard RayNet networking cables together. It is a compact adapter cable, about 3.9 inches long, made for situations where an existing RayNet cable does not quite reach the display, network switch, sonar module, radar connection, or other compatible Raymarine network device.

This joiner is useful during helm refits, electronics upgrades, and clean rerouting jobs where pulling a completely new cable would add unnecessary work. It keeps the connection within the RayNet cable system, so the installation can stay tidy behind an MFD, inside a console, or in an electronics locker.

Key features

• RayNet male-to-male cable joiner for connecting two standard RayNet networking cables.
• 100 mm length keeps the added connection short and easier to manage in tight helm or console spaces.
• Supports Raymarine RayNet Ethernet networking used with compatible chartplotters, sonar modules, network switches, and accessory devices.
• Useful when the required cable route is longer than a single available RayNet cable run.
• Helps extend an existing installation without changing to RJ45-style networking hardware.

Installation and setup

Install the joiner between two standard RayNet cables, then route and support the connected cable run so the join does not carry strain. As with any marine electronics cable, avoid sharp bends, pinch points, wet bilge areas, and locations where service work may pull on the connection.

Because this is a network cable joiner rather than a power cable, it does not require a fuse, breaker, or voltage connection. The key fit check is connector type: both cables being joined need RayNet female ends that mate with the male RayNet connectors on this adapter.

Compatibility and fit

This adapter belongs in Raymarine RayNet network installations, commonly found on Raymarine multifunction display and marine electronics systems. It is not a SeaTalkng spur cable and it is not an RJ45 Ethernet adapter. For mixed RayNet and RJ45 layouts, a separate RayNet-to-RJ45 adapter cable is normally required.

It is a practical match for boat owners, installers, and refit technicians who need a short, clean way to extend a RayNet cable during a chartplotter, sonar, radar, or network switch installation without replacing the full cable run.
