I am currently installing a new Quantum Radar (T70243) on my boat with an Axiom 9 with 3D RealVision (E70367). Although the unit provides integration via WiFi, I prefer to install it using the included data cable. After a week of trying to snake the data cable through the boat, I had to cut the connector off. I was then able to snake the cable through the remaining distance to the install location.
I have experience with CAT 5 cable and RJ45 connectors and it appears that the data cable is the same as CAT 5 cable. I was trying to determine the best way to splice the cables together and was hoping you could help me answer the following questions:
1. Can I crimp a standard RJ45 connector to the end of the cable and then use the RayNet (F) to RJ45 (F) Adaptor (Part #A80247)
2. If I crimp a RJ45 connector to the cable, do I use a typical CAT-5 B diagram?
3. Am I better off using a standard punch junction board to make the connection and then seal it?
Thanks for your help and I can't wait to try out my new electronics
