Diameter of radar cable?

[SvenglishTommy]

Does anyone recall (or could measure for me) the diameter of the cable for an SL72/RD218?

I'm not on the boat at the moment and need to order a deck gland before I go back.

Thanks,

Tom

If no one else comes up with an exact measurement I would say that the 2kw cable is around 10mm at a bit of a guess.

I'd say it's a bit thicker as I recall my radarcable for the digital radome to be slightly less then 11 mm. This cable carries less conductors.
I'd say 14-15 mm.

Cheers,

That's about what I was thinking, somewhere between 10 and 15mm. The glands I have to choose from are 9-14 or 12-15 though. Myabe I'll just wait to get back to the boat and measure it.

2kw dome - 12mm cable.

The critical bit is not the cable though. You need to get the connector on the end turned sideways to pass through the two plastic parts without damaging the small wires. You need about a 17 mm diameter hole at least for it to be 'easy'.

Scanstrut makes 4 sizes and you need at least the DS21b. http://www.scanstrut.com/products/product-page.php?range_id=10039&type=Deckseals
