Glomex RA206 Round Ground Plate

GLOMEX RA206 Round Ground Plate for Static Neutralization

Ensure the safety, reliability, and peak performance of your marine electronics with the GLOMEX RA206 Round Ground Plate. This essential accessory is expertly engineered to combat the unseen menace of static electricity build-up on your vessel. Static discharge can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment, degrade radio communication signals, and in some cases, pose a safety risk. The RA206 provides a simple, robust, and highly effective solution to ground your system, safeguarding your investment and ensuring clear, uninterrupted operation when you need it most.

Designed with precision for a specific and critical function, the GLOMEX RA206 is the definitive choice for effective grounding. As per its core design principle, the plate, with a diameter of ø 55 mm (2¼”), is conceived for tanks in order to neutralize static electricity on metal tanks or on metal parts inside of plastic tanks. This makes it an indispensable component for any vessel with fuel, water, or waste tanks, preventing electrostatic accumulation that can affect gauges, sensors, and nearby communication equipment. By providing a low-resistance path to the ground (water), it effectively dissipates any static charge, protecting your entire onboard electronic network.

Key Benefits & Main Features:

* Enhanced Electronic Safety: Actively neutralizes static electricity, protecting sensitive marine electronics like GPS, fishfinders, and navigation systems from potential damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
* Improved Radio Performance: By creating a proper ground plane, the RA206 significantly reduces static noise and interference on VHF and SSB radio transmissions, leading to crystal-clear communication and enhanced signal range.
* Specialized Tank Application: Purpose-built for grounding metal tanks or metallic components within plastic tanks, addressing a common source of static build-up on boats and other vehicles.
* Maximum-Efficiency Design: The plate’s unique sintered construction provides an exceptionally large surface area relative to its compact size, ensuring maximum conductivity and grounding efficiency. The dish-like shape further contributes to its effective dissipation properties.
* Durable and Reliable: Engineered for the harsh marine environment, the GLOMEX RA206 is built to provide long-lasting, maintenance-free performance, ensuring your grounding system remains effective for years to come.
* Compact and Unobtrusive: Its small footprint allows for flexible and straightforward installation on the hull below the waterline, without impacting the vessel´s hydrodynamics.

Upgrade your vessel’s electrical system with this crucial safety and performance component. The GLOMEX RA206 is more than just an accessory; it is a fundamental part of a properly configured marine electronics installation. Trust in Glomex to provide the reliability you need on the water.
