Glomex RA357 joint – code: 29.990.23 – Osculati

Glomex RA357 Osculati joint: connection between RG8X coaxial cables

The Glomex RA357 joint (supplier code 29.990.23, distribution Osculati) is an accessory designed for managing connections in the nautical field, useful when you need to join two sections of coaxial cable neatly and practically. It is a double male joint suitable for to connect 2 RG8X cables together, typically used in VHF installations and related applications where coaxial cabling is present.

In an onboard system, cable continuity and proper organization of connections are important aspects to simplify maintenance and interventions. This joint was created precisely to offer a simple solution when it is necessary to extend or connect two pre-prepared cables, avoiding makeshift adaptations and maintaining a clean setup of the system.

Product features and details

Type: double male joint

The RA357 is a double male joint, that is, a connecting element designed to link two cable ends through a direct connection. This configuration is particularly useful when joining two sections of coaxial cable already on board, for example during refitting, replacing a section, or reorganizing cable routing.

Declared compatibility: RG8X cables

The product is suitable for to connect 2 RG8X cables together. RG8X is a type of coaxial cable commonly used in nautical environments for radio and antenna wiring. If your system uses this type of cable, the RA357 joint is a consistent accessory for the installation.

Identification and codes

• Model: Glomex RA357
• Supplier code: 29.990.23
• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.

The presence of the supplier code facilitates the correct identification of the spare part/accessory, especially when managing multiple similar components or when reordering for scheduled maintenance.

Typical applications in the nautical field

This joint is used in various operational situations related to onboard instrumentation and communications. In particular, it is an accessory that can be useful when working on VHF systems or coaxial wiring that requires a connection between two sections.

Installations and modifications on VHF systems

In the context of Nautical VHF and accessories, it may be necessary to reposition devices, move the antenna, modify the cable route, or integrate an existing section. In these cases, a dedicated joint allows joining two RG8X cables without necessarily replacing the entire line, when the planned intervention allows it.

Extensions and joints during refitting or maintenance

During refitting work, system upgrades, or maintenance, cable passages in ducts, false ceilings, or lockers are often worked on. A joint like the RA357 can be used to connect two cable sections, for example when a section is only partially replaced or when an intermediate connection is needed to restore cable continuity.

Orderly management of connections

In a well-organized onboard system, the use of specific accessories helps keep connections more readable and manageable. A dedicated joint avoids suboptimal solutions and maintains a configuration consistent with the system components.

Practical advantages

The Glomex RA357 joint offers concrete advantages related to installation convenience and system management.

Simple solution to join two RG8X cables

The main advantage is the possibility to to connect 2 RG8X cables together through a dedicated component, avoiding adaptations and maintaining a linear connection configuration.

Support for maintenance and onboard interventions

When performing interventions on existing systems, having a specific joint available can simplify some operations, especially in tight spaces or situations where it is preferable to work on only part of the wiring.

Clear identification for reorder and spare parts management

The combination RA357 + 29.990.23 allows quick recognition of the correct product, reducing the risk of confusion with similar components during procurement or preparation of installation materials.

Usage and operational notes

For a neat and reliable result, it is advisable to always verify that the cables to be connected are actually RG8X and that the ends are properly prepared for the intended connection. In nautical environments, it is also good practice to plan cable routes and place junction points in accessible areas to facilitate any future checks or interventions.

Installation tips (general)

• Cable verification: make sure both sections are RG8X, as indicated for this joint.
• System order: place the junction in an inspectable point, when possible, to simplify maintenance.
• Final check: after connecting, check that the connection is stable and that the wiring is properly routed.

If you have doubts about the configuration of your system or the type of cable installed, it is advisable to carry out a preliminary check before purchase or installation, so as to choose the most suitable accessory.
