Cable Seatalk NG 0,4m

This cable is a spur cable for Raymarine's SeaTalk NG network. It is used to connect individual instruments, sensors, or displays to the backbone.

The connectors on this spur cable are white. In Raymarine’s color code, white indicates spur cables (derivations) connecting devices to the SeaTalk NG backbone.

This cable measures exactly 0.4 meters (40 centimeters). It is the shortest length available in the range, ideal for close connections without cluttering the space with unnecessary cable loops.

Yes, this cable is a spur cable with white connectors, designed specifically to connect an instrument, display, or sensor directly to the backbone.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG protocol is based on the NMEA 2000 standard for data transfer. However, since the physical connectors are specific to Raymarine, a SeaTalk NG to DeviceNet adapter cable will be required to directly connect devices from other brands.

No tools are required. SeaTalk NG connectors feature a rotating locking ring that can be tightened by hand, ensuring a secure and watertight connection.

No, the SeaTalk NG branch cable is reversible. Both ends have identical female connectors, so you can plug it in either direction between your device and your T-connector or distribution block.

Cutting or modifying a SeaTalk NG cable is strongly discouraged. This would compromise its waterproofing, void its reliability, and could alter the network impedance, leading to data loss. Instead, use bulkhead connectors sized for the cable.

Yes, Raymarine's SeaTalk NG connection system is designed for the marine environment. Once properly connected and the locking ring tightened, the connection is fully waterproof and protected against spray and moisture.

No. This cable is a spur cable designed only to connect an instrument to the network (white connectors). To connect two 5-way blocks together, you must use a backbone cable with blue connectors (e.g., A06033).

This cable physically carries data on the SeaTalk NG network. To integrate older SeaTalk 1 generation devices on this network, you will need a specific SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk NG converter kit.

If the distance between your two connection points exceeds 0.4m, you must choose a longer backbone cable. Raymarine offers these cables in multiple lengths, including 1m, 3m, 5m, 9m, and 20m.

This cable is very light, weighing approximately 100 grams (0.1 kg), making it easy to handle and install behind bulkheads or under decks without requiring heavy-duty fastenings.

Never bend a data cable at a right angle. You must respect a minimum bend radius (10 cm for SeaTalk NG cables) to avoid breaking the internal wires or damaging the cable shielding.

No, this cable is only used to extend the backbone. A SeaTalk NG network requires two network terminations (blue plugs), placed at each end of the backbone, to function correctly.

Yes, this cable is a white spur cable, designed specifically to plug into white connectors on SeaTalk NG T-blocks or distribution blocks.

No, part number A06038 includes only the 0.4m branch cable. T-connectors, junction blocks, and terminations must be purchased separately according to your installation requirements.

If you want to extend the main backbone line between two NMEA 2000 backbones, you need a backbone cable (blue). If you want to connect a device (display, sensor) to the main backbone line, you need a drop cable (white).

Although the backbone cable carries the 12 V power supply throughout the network, it does not inject current from the battery. For this, you must use a dedicated SeaTalk NG power cable (red).

Garmin or B&G equipment uses standard NMEA 2000 connectors (DeviceNet). To connect them to your SeaTalk NG backbone, you cannot use this cable directly. You will need a SeaTalk NG to DeviceNet adapter cable (female or male).
