4.1 General cabling guidance

Cable types and lengthIt is important to use cables of the appropriate typeand length• Unless otherwise stated use only standard cablesof the correct type, supplied by Raymarine.

• Ensure that any non-Raymarine cables are of thecorrect quality and gauge. For example, longerpower cable runs may require larger wire gaugesto minimize voltage drop along the run.

Routing cablesCables must be routed correctly, to maximizeperformance and prolong cable life.• Do NOT bend cables excessively. Whereverpossible, ensure a minimum bend diameter of 200mm (8 in) / minimum bend radius of 100 mm (4 in).

100 mm (4 in)

200 mm (8 in)

• Protect all cables from physical damage andexposure to heat. Use trunking or conduit wherepossible. Do NOT run cables through bilges ordoorways, or close to moving or hot objects.

• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacingtwine. Coil any extra cable and tie it out of the way.

• Where a cable passes through an exposedbulkhead or deckhead, use a suitable watertightfeed-through.

• Do NOT run cables near to engines or fluorescentlights.

Always route data cables as far away as possiblefrom:• other equipment and cables,• high current carrying ac and dc power lines,• antennae.

Strain reliefEnsure adequate strain relief is provided. Protectconnectors from strain and ensure they will not pullout under extreme sea conditions.

Circuit isolationAppropriate circuit isolation is required forinstallations using both AC and DC current:• Always use isolating transformers or a separatepower-inverter to run PC’s, processors, displaysand other sensitive electronic instruments ordevices.

• Always use an isolating transformer with WeatherFAX audio cables.

• Always use an isolated power supply when usinga 3rd party audio amplifier.

• Always use an RS232/NMEA converter withoptical isolation on the signal lines.

• Always make sure that PC’s or other sensitiveelectronic devices have a dedicated power circuit.

Cable shieldingEnsure that all data cables are properly shieldedthat the cable shielding is intact (e.g. hasn’t beenscraped off by being squeezed through a tight area).
