I think I've got this right but would like to confirm before I start putting the cabling in place:
I am installing
B&G broadband 4G
radar. The best place for the RI10 interface box is right under the existing
Simrad AC42
autopilot computer (which is next to the NEP-2 ethernet box). The
radar cable run from the
mast through the
bilge has good separation from any potential sources of
interference, but the last 2 feet will run along the source and drive
power wires to the AC42. Ethernet
cables to two Zeus Touch 8 displays will also run through this 2-foot-long conduit.
The
autopilot uses a higher-power T2 ram, not the lower
power drive that usually goes with the AC42.
I understand that one beauty of
broadband radar is that it shouldn't mess up the other components here as pulse radar would. But is there a risk that the autopilot power wires will mess up the radar and/or ethernet? The various
installation manuals don't say anything about this. The RI10 mounting instructions say it "must be located where it can be easily connected" to power/network/ethernet and that's exactly what I'm doing.
Thank you in advance for your thoughtful feedback.
