Raymarine RayNet Female to RJ45 Male Network Cable

Overview

The Raymarine RayNet to RJ45 Cable is a marine Ethernet network cable for linking RayNet equipment to devices and accessories with RJ45 Ethernet connections. It uses a RayNet female connector at one end and an RJ45 male Ethernet connector at the other, making it useful when a Raymarine network needs to connect with equipment that uses a standard RJ45-style Ethernet port.

The RayNet end uses a waterproof twist-lock connection, while the RJ45 end is not waterproof and should be routed into a protected area, enclosure, or device connection point. This matters on boats where cable runs may pass through damp lockers, helm spaces, radar arches, or equipment bays before reaching a chartplotter, network switch, camera, sonar module, or other compatible marine electronics.

This cable family is commonly used in Raymarine Ethernet networks where chartplotters, fish finder modules, radar, video, navigation data, marine cameras, or network accessories need to share data across the boat. Length options range from short 1 m runs to 30 m runs, with straight and right-angle connector styles available for different installation spaces.

Key features

• RayNet female to RJ45 male Ethernet cable for connecting Raymarine network equipment to RJ45 Ethernet devices and accessories.
• Waterproof twist-lock RayNet connector helps keep the RayNet side secure in marine installations.
• RJ45 male connector is not waterproof, so the RJ45 end should be kept in a protected connection area.
• Supports RayNet network runs used with compatible Raymarine chartplotters, sonar modules, network switches, cameras, and accessory devices.
• Useful for Axiom chartplotter networks that share chartplotter, fish finder, radar, video, and navigation data between displays.
• Available in 1 m, 3 m, 10 m, and 30 m cable lengths to suit short helm connections, electronics bays, hardtop runs, and longer camera or network routes.
• 30 m versions are available with either a straight RayNet connector or a right-angle RayNet connector for tighter routing spaces.

Variants

This RayNet to RJ45 cable is offered in several configurations based on cable length and connector style. All listed variants use a RayNet to RJ45 format, with the main installation differences coming from how far the cable needs to run and whether the RayNet end should exit straight or at a right angle.

The straight connector versions suit general cable routes with room behind the port. The right-angle 30 m version helps where clearance is limited behind a display, camera, switch, or equipment panel.

• A62360: 1 m cable length with a straight connector style. This short length works well for nearby equipment connections at the helm, inside an electronics cabinet, or close to a network switch.
• A80151: 3 m cable length with a straight connector style. This length gives more routing room for a helm station, console, or adjacent equipment bay without adding excessive spare cable.
• A80159: 10 m cable length with a straight connector style. This option suits longer runs between a display, switch, sonar module, or accessory located farther away on the boat.
• 308-0251-30-00: 30 m cable length with a straight connector style. This long run is useful when routing through larger boats, hardtops, radar arches, or camera installations where the equipment is well away from the network hub.
• 308-0252-30-00: 30 m cable length with a right-angle connector style. This version gives the same long cable reach while reducing the clearance needed at the RayNet connection point.

Installation and routing

Plan the route before pulling the cable so the connector style and length match the space behind the equipment. Avoid sharp bends, pinch points, and high-heat areas near engines or exhaust runs. When passing through bulkheads or deck structures, use proper chafe protection and keep the cable supported so vibration does not load the connector.

The RayNet end is suited to marine network connection points that accept RayNet. The RJ45 end should be treated like a standard Ethernet plug and kept away from direct spray, bilge moisture, and exposed deck locations unless it is housed inside protected equipment or a suitable enclosure.

Compatibility and use on board

This cable is a practical fit for boats using Raymarine Ethernet networking where a RayNet connection must interface with an RJ45 Ethernet connection. Typical use cases include connecting compatible Raymarine multifunction displays, network switches, sonar modules, video-over-IP cameras, FLIR marine cameras, and other supported accessories in a Raymarine network.

It is a good match for refits and new electronics installations where cable length, connector clearance, and protection from saltwater exposure need to be considered before final installation.
