CS34 Spur Cable

The instrument display to be mounted on the bulkhead using some doubled up 3/4" starboard had some issues.  The fiberglass for the bulkhead is right up against the fiberglass for the shower in behind it (about 1/4" of clearance). 


See how much the straight spur cable would protrude into the cabin?
I had to order an "Elbow Spur" cable from Raymarine for $31.
It is 400mm long, so I will have to cut and splice it with another cable.
You can just see it in the photo above.

The wires inside the spur cables are 22 gauge.
The red/black power cables are separately shielded from the three data cables.



Should be fairly easy to solder / shrink wrap for a trouble free setup.
