Drs4w

I am considering mounting this Wi-Fi radar on my sailboat. The drawings show a 12 volt power cord 15 m that exits the bottom of the radome , with a “ plug” end. I have to feed the power cord down and out a 1 inch tube My question is is the plug fitting located at the end of the 15 m cord or does the 15 m cord plug into a pigtail plug on the radome and the free end of the power cable is just the three wires for connecting down below to power. If the latter I will be able to feed that cable without the plug end but have doubts about feeding what looks to be a good sized plug through the tube. Hope this makes sense. Perhaps you can disconnect the wires at the radome and feed the power cable up through the tube to the radome mount. Thanks

The DRS4W uses a short pigtail cable out of the dome and meets with the power cable to connect. It is not one single length coming out of the dome because of this junction. The power cable has a connector at one end (roughly 17mm round) and raw wires at the other end. Ideally if you are running the cable through a tube, one would pull the wiring side without connector down toward the power breaker leaving the connector end up near the dome to connect to the dome pigtail.
