Raymarine RayNet(F) to RayNet(F) Port Connectivity - 400mm

The Raymarine RayNet(F) to RayNet(F) Port Connectivity - 400mm cable is the backbone of modern marine networking systems, designed for boaters and vessel operators who demand reliable, redundant data pathways across their pilothouse. Whether you're running dual GPS units, multiple sounder transducers, or daisy-chaining network switches on a larger yacht or commercial fishing vessel, this 400mm patch cable connects two adjacent RayNet-equipped devices with the precision and durability that offshore conditions demand. Built to withstand salt spray, vibration, and constant thermal cycling, it's a critical component for anyone serious about marine electronics redundancy.

This female-to-female RayNet connector cable (MPN A80161) employs Raymarine's ruggedized network protocol, engineered specifically for the harsh marine environment where standard Ethernet often fails. The 400mm length—approximately 16 inches—provides optimal flexibility for tight pilothouse installations and switchboard configurations without excess slack that invites corrosion or mechanical stress. The cable's jacketing resists UV degradation and moisture intrusion, critical traits when running through exposed helm areas or engine rooms where humidity and direct sunlight accelerate typical connector failure. Each connection point is strain-relieved and molded to prevent pin separation, ensuring your network topology remains stable even under heavy seas.

Serious boaters upgrading from single-switch architectures to multi-switch network configurations will find this cable indispensable for joining HS-5 Network Switches and expanding system capacity across larger vessels. Commercial fishermen, cruising sailors, and professional captains who rely on redundant sounder networks, integrated autopilot systems, and real-time weather data feeds benefit most from proper RayNet infrastructure—and this connector is the glue that holds it together. Installation is straightforward: simply plug into any two adjacent RayNet(F) ports, and your devices communicate with the low-latency, high-reliability performance Raymarine systems are known for. Stock this cable as a critical spare, especially if you operate in remote waters where replacement electronics arrive slowly.
