Simnet mast cable to Micro-C - 20 meters

This is an essential marine network cable designed to connect B&G SimNet wind sensors, such as models 508 and 608, to a modern NMEA 2000 navigation network. It enables direct and transparent transmission of wind data over the NMEA 2000 bus.

This cable is 20 meters long (approximately 66 feet), specifically suited for mast installations, allowing connection to the NMEA 2000 network without intermediate splices.

The cable is equipped with two distinct types of connectors:

One end features a SimNet connector, designed for direct connection to B&G SimNet wind sensors.The other end has a male Micro-C connector, allowing integration into an NMEA 2000 network.

Yes, absolutely. This cable is manufactured with high-quality materials to ensure enhanced durability and reliability at sea. Its robust design is optimized for outdoor use and permanent installation in the mast, resisting mechanical stress, UV exposure, and saline environments.

The weight of this cable is 1.09 kg.

This cable is manufactured in China.

This cable is a B&G product, a specialist in sailing navigation electronics.

The reference number (SKU) for this product is 000-10757-001.

This cable is specifically designed to be compatible with B&G SimNet wind sensors, including models 508 and 608.

It connects to a NMEA 2000 navigation network. This connection enables seamless transmission of wind data over the NMEA 2000 bus, making the information accessible to all navigation displays and electronic equipment compatible with NMEA 2000.

The SimNet end of the cable is proprietary to B&G (Navico Group) and is designed for their sensors. However, the Micro-C end connects to a standard NMEA 2000 network, meaning the transmitted data will be accessible to all NMEA 2000-compatible equipment, regardless of brand.

No, this cable is designed specifically for NMEA 2000 networks and is not directly compatible with NMEA 0183 networks. To interconnect these two types of networks, an interface or an NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 converter would be required.

Yes, the Micro-C connector is a standardized connector type for NMEA 2000 networks. It is commonly used for drop cables and to connect devices to the network backbone.

Yes, its 20-metre length and robust design are specifically suited for direct and permanent installation in the mast. This minimizes connections and ensures reliable long-term performance.

Physical installation of the cable in the mast may require basic tools for routing and securing cables. However, SimNet and Micro-C connectors are designed for simple and secure connection without needing special tools for the electrical connection of the connectors themselves.

This cable provides a direct and simplified connectivity solution between the SimNet wind sensor and the NMEA 2000 network. Its length and specific connectors eliminate the need for multiple complex junctions inside the mast, making installation faster and more reliable.

Yes, its robust design and the use of high-quality materials make it particularly resistant to harsh marine conditions. It is built to withstand prolonged exposure to UV rays and the corrosive environment of saltwater, ensuring its durability.

It is strongly discouraged to cut pre-assembled network cables like this one. Cutting the cable could compromise its shielding integrity, water resistance, and data transmission reliability, which may lead to network malfunctions. It is better to use the appropriate length or choose another length if available.

No, this cable is passive and does not require external power. It is designed to transmit data and power directly from the NMEA 2000 network to the SimNet sensor (and vice versa for data), as the NMEA 2000 network provides the power required by connected devices.

While standard NMEA 2000 cables can be used to extend the network backbone, this product is a dedicated drop cable. Its primary function is to connect a SimNet device (such as a wind sensor) directly to the NMEA 2000 backbone via a Micro-C connector, providing an integrated and optimized solution for B&G sensors.
