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?

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.

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.

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.

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

Looks to be a Mil-DTL-26482 connector, probably an Amphenol PT06 or MS3116 style.

It looks like a connector for a marine radar. Some of the smaller JRC radars from the early 90s had connectors exactly like this.

I regularly use the larger 61pin version of these. Connecting these is so satisfying, the little click you feel when the lugs lock in place.
