Extend Your VHF Reach with Confidence on the Water
Imagine maneuvering your vessel through choppy seas or coordinating with crew from a secondary station without being tethered to the main radio unit. This dedicated handset extension cable delivers exactly that freedom for Raymarine Ray60, Ray70, Ray90, and Ray91 VHF systems. Designed for boaters who demand reliability in demanding marine conditions, it stretches your RayMic handset up to 15 meters away, keeping communication crystal clear whether you’re at the helm, on deck, or below.
Crafted from marine-grade materials, this cable withstands saltwater spray, UV exposure, and constant flexing—common foes in the boating world. Boaters often share stories of how a simple extension like this transformed their setup, allowing seamless handoffs between stations or extending control to flybridges and walkarounds without signal loss or connection hassles.
Perfect Fit for Your Raymarine VHF Setup
Engineered specifically for Raymarine’s modular VHF lineup, this cable plugs straight into the RayMic handset and radio transceiver. It’s a plug-and-play solution—no custom wiring or adapters needed. Key matches include:
Ray60 VHF radio
Ray70 VHF radio
Ray90 multisource VHF
Ray91 AIS Class A VHF
Whether you’re upgrading a compact sportfisher or outfitting a larger cruiser, this extension integrates flawlessly, preserving the intuitive controls and loud audio that make Raymarine handsets a favorite among skippers.
Built for the Long Haul: Durability Meets Performance
Raymarine doesn’t cut corners on construction. The cable features shielded wiring to minimize interference from nearby electronics, double-shielded connectors for secure mating, and a flexible yet tough outer jacket that resists abrasion. At 15 meters, it’s ideal for multi-station installs, giving you the length to route neatly through bulkheads or along rails without excess slack.
Real-world testing in harsh environments—from the Gulf Stream’s relentless waves to Pacific Northwest fog—proves it holds up. Pair it with your existing RayMic, and you’ll enjoy uninterrupted DSC calls, digital selective calling, and inter-ship comms, all while extending usability to wherever you need it most.
Easy Installation and Pro Tips for Boaters
Installation is straightforward: Disconnect the handset, attach the extension to both ends, and secure with cable ties or conduit for a tidy look. For best results:
Route away from high-power antennas or engines to avoid RF noise.
Use drip loops at connection points to shed water.
Test full functionality post-install, including volume, channel scan, and distress functions.
Many installers recommend labeling ends for quick troubleshooting, ensuring your VHF stays mission-ready during offshore adventures or coastal cruises.
Care and Maintenance for Peak Performance
To maximize lifespan, rinse connections with fresh water after saltwater exposure and inspect for frays annually. Store coiled loosely when not in use to prevent kinks. This proactive approach keeps your extension performing like new, backing Raymarine’s reputation for gear that outlasts the competition.
