Marine AIS antenna cables are essential for transmitting signals between AIS devices and antennas, ensuring reliable communication and navigation at sea.

These cables are designed to withstand harsh marine environments, offering durability and minimal signal loss for optimal performance.

They play a critical role in marine navigation by enabling accurate vessel tracking and collision avoidance systems.

Size: Typically 3-6 meters in length, 5-10 mm diameter.

Grade: RG-58, RG-8X, or LMR-400 for high-performance applications.

Viscosity: Not applicable (N/A) for solid-core coaxial cables.

Buoyancy: Generally non-buoyant; may require additional flotation devices if needed.

Material: Outer jacket made of UV-resistant PVC or PE; inner conductor of copper or tinned copper.

Impedance: 50 ohms standard for marine AIS systems.

Shielding: Double or triple shielding (foil + braid) for EMI/RFI protection.

Frequency Range: 156-162 MHz for AIS and VHF marine navigation.

Connector Type: PL-259 (UHF), NMEA 2000, or TNC connectors.

Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C for marine environments.

Water Resistance: IP67 or higher for waterproofing.

Flexibility: High-flex designs for routing in tight spaces.

Certifications: CE, RoHS, and marine-grade compliance (e.g., DNV-GL).

Marine AIS Antenna Cables and Marine Navigation products typically comply with maritime standards such as IEC 60945, IEC 61162, and ITU-R M.1371 for AIS systems. Always verify with the manufacturer for specific certifications.
