Raymarine Handset Adapter Cable, For Ray60/Ray70 VHF, 12-Pin to 10-Pin, 400mm

Overview

The Raymarine A80296 is a 400 mm handset adapter cable for Raymarine Ray60 and Ray70 VHF radio installations. It is used when a Fistmic connection needs to be adapted at the radio, helping match the handset wiring to the rear connection layout on compatible Raymarine fixed-mount VHF systems.

This cable is a practical fit for helm, dash, console, and cabin radio installations where the VHF base unit and handset connection point are close together. The short 400 mm length keeps the run tidy behind the panel, which is useful in tight electronics spaces where extra cable can make service access harder.

Key features

• Made for Raymarine Ray60 and Ray70 VHF radio setups that use a compatible Fistmic connection.
• 400 mm cable length suits short adapter runs behind a helm panel, console, or radio mounting area.
• Adapts the handset connection for installations using the radio’s rear connection point.
• Does not add an external passive speaker output, keeping it suited to handset adapter use only.
• Chassis mounting plate is included for a cleaner panel-mounted connection point.

Installation and setup

Use this adapter when the installation calls for a Raymarine Fistmic connection to be brought into the Ray60 or Ray70 VHF radio through the appropriate rear handset connection. Before fitting, check the radio model and the connector style already in place so the adapter matches the intended cable path.

The 400 mm length is meant for close-range routing, not for extending a handset to a remote station. Keep the cable supported behind the panel, avoid sharp bends at the connectors, and leave enough service loop to remove the radio or access the rear panel without pulling on the plug.

Compatibility and fit

This adapter is for Raymarine Ray60 and Ray70 VHF radios. It is a good match for boat owners or installers working on a Raymarine VHF installation where the handset connection needs to be adapted cleanly at the radio rather than extended across the vessel.

Because this cable does not include a passive speaker output, it should not be used when the installation also requires a separate passive speaker connection. For multi-station or speaker-based setups, confirm the full Raymarine cable layout before ordering.
