Raymarine RayNet to RJ45 Female Adapter Cable, 100mm, Waterproof RJ45 Gland

Overview

The Raymarine A80247 is a 100 mm RayNet to RJ45 female adapter cable for joining a standard Ethernet RJ45 cable to a RayNet device or network switch. It is used in Raymarine marine electronics networks where an RJ45 cable needs to terminate into the RayNet connection format used by compatible displays, switches, and radar network installations.

One end connects to the RayNet side of the system, while the other end uses a female RJ45 gland connection that gives the RJ45 socket a watertight fit. That short adapter length makes it useful behind a multifunction display, at an HS-5 network switch, or anywhere space is limited and the cable run is already in place.

Key features

• 100 mm adapter cable for RayNet to RJ45 network connections.
• Female RJ45 gland connection helps keep the RJ45 socket watertight in marine installations.
• Useful when converting an RJ45 Digital Radar Cable for use in a RayNet radar cable setup.
• Works as a practical interface between standard Ethernet RJ45 cabling and RayNet equipment or switches.
• Short length reduces excess cable behind displays, electronics panels, and network switch locations.

Installation and setup

This adapter is most often installed at the equipment end of an existing RJ45 network cable, rather than used as a long cable run by itself. The 100 mm length keeps the connection close to the display, switch, or radar networking point, which helps keep the electronics area cleaner and easier to service.

When installing it, the RJ45 gland should be seated correctly so the socket remains protected where moisture, spray, or condensation may be present. As with any marine data cable, route it away from sharp edges, tight bends, and high-current wiring where practical.

Compatibility and fit

The adapter is commonly used to connect an RJ45 Digital Radar Cable into a Raymarine HS-5 network switch or directly into compatible Raymarine multifunction displays from the a, c, e, and gS Series. It is a good match for refits where the vessel already has RJ45 network cabling installed and the new or existing Raymarine equipment uses RayNet connections.

This is a network adapter, not a power cable. Confirm that the rest of the Raymarine network layout, radar cable run, and display or switch connection type match the system on board before installation.
