Cables

Introduction

This section lists the cables and their associated connectors that will be required to
complete the installation of Raymarine H6.
Cables and connectors used in Raymarine H6 form an integral part of the system. It is a
contractual requirement of the installation to ensure that the correct quality of cable is
used, and that maximum lengths as specified are not exceeded. Valid proof of
purchase of the correct cable type will be required for Raymarine to validate the
Warranty for the system.

Cable runs

CAUTION: Cable runs
Do not pull cables through a bulkhead or deckhead using a cord attached
to the connector. This could damage the connectors.
Consider the following before installing the system cables:
• You need to attach power cables and scanner cables. Additional cables may be
required for long cable runs.
• All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and
exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close to
moving or hot objects.
• Acute cable bends must be avoided.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a watertight
feed-through should be used.
• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable and tie
it out of the way.
Strain relief
It is important that all cables and connections are fitted with adequate and suitable
strain relief.
