Raymarine Adapter Cable - 25-Pin to 9-Pin & 8-Pin - Y-Cable to DownVision & CP370 Transducer to Axiom RV

The Raymarine Adapter Cable (Model A80494) is a specialized Y-cable connector designed to integrate multiple transducers into a single Axiom RV display unit. This 25-pin to 9-pin and 8-pin Y-cable allows simultaneous connection of a DownVision transducer (CPT-1xx series) and an Airmar CP370-style transducer, enabling anglers and boaters to leverage advanced sonar imaging alongside traditional transducer data from a unified chartplotter interface.

The cable's dual-connector architecture solves a common integration challenge: modern Axiom RV systems feature a single 25-pin transducer socket, yet many vessels carry both legacy CP370 transducers and newer DownVision sonar heads for maximum water-column visibility. The Y-configuration eliminates the need to swap cables or purchase additional display units. The adapter accommodates the 9-pin DownVision connector and the 8-pin Airmar CP370 connector simultaneously, preserving the native pin assignments for each sonar protocol. At 0.7 lbs and compact dimensions (9 x 2 x 13 inches), the cable integrates cleanly into most helm installations.

This adapter is essential for recreational and serious anglers who have invested in DownVision technology but retain older Airmar transducers for conventional sonar, as well as fishing charter operations and commercial vessels running mixed sonar configurations. Weekend fishermen upgrading to the Axiom RV platform will appreciate the flexibility to keep existing CP370 equipment operational while adding DownVision's distinctive forward-looking imaging for structure and baitfish detection.

Raymarine's integration ecosystem is built on standardized connector protocols, and this Y-cable adheres to those marine electronics standards, ensuring reliable pin-level compatibility across transducer types. The Axiom RV platform's processing architecture can manage simultaneous DownVision and traditional sonar feeds, allowing users to display both data streams on a split-screen layout or switch between imaging modes as conditions demand.
