Hey r/amateurradio, can you identify this cable connection?

That’s known a pl-chungus

So it seems this was the old radar connection that is the cannon plug. Thanks for the help! I have followed the antenna connection and have her all figured I think

You look like you’re on a boat, my guess is there was a chart plotter or radar there? Looks like it maybe was an older unit of some kind. Do you have a radar antenna anywhere?
ETA: might want to try r/boating also, I bet someone there can ID it if it’s part of your nav equipment.

That appears to be a 16 pin radar connector, possibly?

Maybe, I’m trying to figure out the radio wiring

Looks radar

Standard AN/MS connector.

Check Mouser and Digikey for AMP connectors. If it's for something like radar, the marine manufacturers often source very obscure connectors that are hard to come by in small quantities. I've been struggling to find the Icom IC-M802 mic connector for years.
Now tell us about the boat.

Please tell me you have a spinnaker and a mizzen staysail. If you have a blooper I'll die and go to heaven.

I genuinely cannot tell if you two are talking real nautical terms or just making stuff up. I mean I know what a spinnaker and a mizzen staysail are (I think), but a blooper!!?
:)

a blooper!!?
A blooper is a large downwind sail flown to leeward of the spinnaker. They are no longer common. The blooper is an artifact of the lack of directional stability of IOR boats and their tendency to broach. The blooper was supposed to reduce broaching. It didn't, but people were willing to try anything. Pretty though.
While the Wauquiez Amphitrite 43 is of the IOR vintage she isn't and never was a race boat, much less built to the IOR rule. I was being a little silly bringing up a blooper for such a lady. In full dress (spinnaker, staysail, main, mizzen staysail, mizzen) on a beam reach she's gorgeous. Not fast, but gorgeous. On an owner aboard delivery of an Amel Super Maramu, also a ketch, we sailed like that for two and a half days from the Virgin Islands toward the Chesapeake. The owner was thrilled and excited and many pictures were taken. When last I spoke to him he had not flown the spinnaker or mizzen staysail since I stepped off the boat.

Whatever you do don't fall off the boat (my personal nightmare)

Whatever you do don't fall off the boat (my personal nightmare)
That's rule #3.
Dave's rules:
- Keep the boat in the water.
- Keep the water out of the boat.
- Stay on the boat.
- Don't run into the boat.
Rule #4 was added after my wife head butted the radar pole on our boat when climbing aboard from the dinghy.

Looks like a 16 pin for a radar

Looks like a Cannon plug... Aircraft have them by the drives.

Not amateur, however military gear and as others have said radar gear uses these.

More likely for a chart plotter. Possibly if you follow the cable back you will find some sort of control box with a brand name on it.

Amphenol Circular Connector.

I have an old Raytheon marine direction finding receiver that uses the same plug. On it, it’s used for the external directional antenna.

That’s definitely a cannon plug. I’m not too familiar with the ones outside of aviation, but the ones I work with usually have the part number on the barrel. Once you have that you can google it to get the part number for the contacts.

its big...

Looks to me like one of the varieties of Deutsch connector. Lots of OEMs use them.

We called them cannon plugs in the USAF...haven't seen one since I was inside a F16 though.

It’s a 16 pin cannon plug…

OPs has sockets not pins! Perhaps a MS5015 equivalent (IE Amphenol 97 series). I would suggest OP includes a picture of the thread and looks for a PN printed on the side of the shell.
DOH!!!
Sweet thanks!

Indeed it is! Nice ship vessel setup you've got there...
It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

No, bot. It says Amphenol, a brand. Silly bot.
Wow I really wouldn't have expected it to get tripped up that easily. It does look like the other link was broken, so I guess it's still good that it fixed it
