Kabel SeaTalk NG 1 metr (odbočka)

This cable, known as a spur cable, is used to connect a single device, such as an instrument display, a sensor, or a GPS antenna, to the main backbone of your Raymarine SeaTalk NG network.

This SeaTalk NG branch cable, part number A06039, measures exactly 1 meter in length.

The SeaTalk NG network is based on the NMEA 2000 protocol, so the data is compatible. However, the physical connectors are proprietary to Raymarine. To connect this cable to a device or an NMEA 2000 network with standard connectors (DeviceNet), you will need a specific adapter cable.

This branch cable must be connected to a free port on a T-connector (T-piece) or a 5-way junction block that is itself installed on the backbone of your SeaTalk NG network. The other end connects directly to your instrument or sensor.

The difference lies in their function and their color:

Branch cables (white connectors), like this one, connect an individual device to the backbone. Backbone cables (blue connectors) form the backbone of the network, connecting the various connection points (T-pieces) together. Raymarine designed this color-coding to prevent wiring errors.

Yes, cable A06039 provides both data transfer and power supply to the connected device directly from the SeaTalk NG backbone.

You can connect equipment from other brands certified NMEA 2000 to a SeaTalk NG network. However, you will need an adapter cable to convert from the proprietary SeaTalk NG connector to the standard NMEA 2000 (DeviceNet) connector of the other device.

No, it is strongly advised not to cut or modify SeaTalk NG cables. This would compromise waterproofing, shielding, and the reliability of connections, potentially causing malfunctions across your entire navigation network.

No, this cable is not directly compatible with SeaTalk1 or SeaTalk2 networks. To integrate devices from these older generations into a SeaTalk NG network, you must use a Raymarine-specific conversion gateway.

Yes, the connectors have a quarter-turn locking ring that ensures a very secure connection, resistant to vibration and shock, which is essential for the reliability of electronic systems aboard a boat.

No, no specific tools are required. The installation is designed to be simple ("plug-and-play"). The connectors are screwed and locked by hand using their quarter-turn ring.

You can connect any Raymarine device equipped with a SeaTalk NG port. This includes for example:

Instrument displays (i50, i60, i70s)GPS antennasSensors (wind, depth sounder, speed log)AutopilotsMultifunction displays

The manufacturer reference for this 1-meter SeaTalk NG branch cable is A06039.

No, that is not its function. This drop cable (white connectors) is designed to connect a device to the backbone. To join two backbone segments, you must use a backbone cable (blue connectors).

The color-coding system (white for spur cable, blue for backbone) is designed to prevent this. Using a spur cable to extend the backbone can cause communication and power issues on your network. It is imperative to respect the network architecture by using each cable for its designated function.

SeaTalk NG (Next Generation) is Raymarine's proprietary network protocol. It is based on the NMEA 2000 standard but uses specific connectors, more robust and watertight, designed for the marine environment.

No, it is not recommended to connect multiple branch cables in series. If you need a length greater than 1 meter, it is preferable to use a branch cable of the appropriate length directly, such as the 3-meter model (A06040), to ensure signal integrity and network reliability.

The connectors are white to clearly identify this cable as a spur cable. In the Raymarine SeaTalk NG system, backbone cables have blue connectors, making it easy to differentiate components and prevent assembly errors.

Yes, absolutely. Raymarine's SeaTalk NG cabling system, including this cable, was specifically developed to provide superior robustness and waterproofing, perfectly suited to the demanding conditions of the marine environment.

The weight of this cable is 0.1 kg.
