This is the original ACR extension cable for the RCL-95 searchlight. Intended for installations where the distance between the control panel and the searchlight is greater than the standard supplied cable allows.
For when the standard cable is just too short This ACR extension cable is designed for the RCL-95 searchlight. Use it if the distance between your control panel and the searchlight is greater than what the standard supplied cabling can handle.
This happens more often than you might think. A searchlight on a radar arch or hardtop is further from the helm than a light on the cabin, and during a refit, the controls are sometimes relocated. An extension cable is much easier than rewiring the entire installation. Always use the original cable, as a homemade connection with the wrong connectors is the most common cause of malfunctioning controls.
Why choose the RCL-95 extension cable?
Bridges greater distances: if the standard cable is insufficient

Frequently asked questions
When do I need an extension cable?
When the distance between your control panel and the searchlight is greater than the standard supplied cable allows. This is especially relevant for mounting on a radar arch or hardtop, and after a refit where the helm station has been moved.
Can I extend a cable myself?
This is discouraged. A homemade connection with the wrong connectors is one of the most common causes of malfunctioning controls. Use the original extension cable.
Is there an alternative without a cable?
Yes. With the wireless controls 9635 or 9636, cable distance is no longer a constraint, as they work without a physical connection to the searchlight.
