Větev SeaTalk NG, zakončení kolenem, délka 0,4 metru

The Raymarine A06042 cable is a 0.4-meter SeaTalk NG branch with angled connectors. It is designed to connect individual instruments or sensors to the main backbone of a SeaTalk NG network.

The angled plugs on this cable are specifically designed to optimize integration in tight spaces or for neater cable management. They reduce strain on the connectors and allow for cleaner cable routing, contributing to the overall reliability of the installation.

This SeaTalk NG branch cable (reference A06042) is 0.4 metres long.

This cable is white. The SeaTalk NG system uses color coding to distinguish cable types: spur branches (spurs) are white, while the backbone cable (main bus) is blue. A power cable is also identified by a red stripe.

SeaTalk NG is a proprietary interconnect bus developed by Raymarine to facilitate communication between its various marine products, such as multifunction displays, navigation instruments (e.g., ST70), and sensors. It enables fast and reliable communication between devices.

The SeaTalk NG system is compatible with the NMEA 2000 standard via specific adapter cables. This A06042 branch cable is part of the SeaTalk NG network, which can be interconnected with NMEA 2000 using these adapters.

To connect SeaTalk(1) products to a SeaTalk NG network, you need specific Raymarine products (such as certain ST70 instruments) that perform a bridging function, as well as suitable adapter cables. This A06042 cable is a SeaTalk NG branch and does not connect directly to SeaTalk(1) products.

This branch cable connects to one of the ports on a SeaTalk NG connection device (for example, a T-connector, a five-way junction block, or an inline coupler) that is part of the SeaTalk NG backbone.

Yes, to ensure correct data transmission, a terminator is required at each end of the main backbone cable in a SeaTalk NG system. This A06042 cable is a branch and is not a terminator, but it is used within a network that requires one.

This cable can be used to connect various Raymarine devices compatible with SeaTalk NG, such as multifunction displays, navigation instruments (e.g., ST70), sensors (GPS, depth sounders, wind transducers/vane anemometers) and other peripherals to the main network.

The backbone cable (blue) is the main bus of the SeaTalk NG network, forming the central line to which all devices are connected. The branch cables (white), such as the A06042, are shorter and used to individually connect Raymarine products to the backbone.

It is strongly advised against cutting and splicing SeaTalk NG cables. Raymarine offers a wide range of branch cable lengths to avoid this necessity and ensure system reliability and integrity.

To connect SeaTalk NG cables, Raymarine provides connection parts such as 3-way connectors, 5-way junction blocks, and inline couplers, allowing the network to be deployed according to the specific needs of the installation.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG system is designed to simplify installation. The small connectors and color-coded cables (white for branches, blue for the backbone) help reduce the risk of incorrect connections and streamline the wiring process.

Yes, Raymarine offers a variety of lengths for SeaTalk NG branch cables, including straight cables of 0.5m, 1m, 3m, 5m, etc., in addition to this 0.4-meter angled cable. This provides great flexibility for different configurations.

Raymarine's technical documentation states that the maximum length for a SeaTalk NG spur cable is generally 6 meters to ensure optimal performance and reliable data transmission on the network.

Yes, SeaTalk NG cables, including branch cables like the A06042, carry both data and power to connected devices. The SeaTalk NG network is powered by a dedicated power cable, often identified by a red stripe.

Cable A06042 is an alternative to the straight 0.4-meter cable (e.g., A06038). It is selected based on space and cable routing constraints, providing a more suitable solution when space behind the equipment is limited due to its angled connectors.

The small connectors used in the SeaTalk NG system, including on cable A06042, greatly facilitate installation. Their compact size allows easier integration in tight spaces and simplifies cable routing through bulkheads or conduits.

The SeaTalk NG reference manual refers to SeaTalk, SeaTalk2 and SeaTalk NG as Raymarine’s proprietary bus systems. SeaTalk NG is the latest generation. While connectivity with SeaTalk(1) is possible via bridges and adapters, direct and simple compatibility with SeaTalk2 using this type of cable is not explicitly detailed, as the system is designed for interoperability within the Raymarine ecosystem.
