– High current carrying AC and DC power lines. • Unless otherwise stated only use cables supplied by Raymarine. – Antennas. • Where it is necessary to use non-Raymarine cables, ensure that they are of correct quality and gauge for their intended purpose. (e.g.: longer power Strain relief cable runs may require larger wire gauges to minimize voltage drop along the run). -
Page 27: Connecting Cables
Example: typical system • Use only ferrites of the correct type, supplied by Raymarine® or its authorized dealers. • Where an installation requires multiple ferrites to be added to a cable, additional cable clips should be used to prevent stress on the connectors due to the extra weight of the cable. -
