The Raymarine Wide Series Multi Video Input Cable, specifically identified by the part number A62158, is a specialized interface cable designed for the now legacy Raymarine E-Wide Series Multifunction Displays (MFDs), including models such as the E90w, E120w, and E140w. This cable serves as a comprehensive video and audio integration solution, allowing users to connect various external video sources directly to their E-Wide MFD. Typically featuring three composite video input ports, it enables the display of cameras (e.g., engine room, deck, or thermal cameras) or other video feeds directly on the MFD screen, enhancing situational awareness. Beyond video input, the A62158 also provides a VGA video output, facilitating the mirroring of the MFD’s screen onto an external monitor, and includes an alarm audio output for system alerts. Its design consolidates multiple connection types into a single, convenient cable, streamlining the installation and integration of supplementary video and audio functionalities with the E-Wide Series displays.
