NMEA 2000 backbone/drop cable (10 m)

This cable is designed to extend NMEA 2000 networks and connect compatible marine devices, such as sensors and displays. It complies with the NMEA 2000 plug-and-play communication standard, simplifying equipment integration.

This Garmin NMEA 2000 cable has a length of 10 meters.

No, a 10-meter cable cannot be used as a drop cable. According to the NMEA 2000 standard, drop cables are limited to a maximum length of 6 meters (20 feet). This 10-meter cable is exclusively intended for use as a backbone cable to extend the main NMEA 2000 network.

This cable uses NMEA 2000 micro-connectors, which are compatible with other NMEA 2000-certified micro-connectors, cables, and devices.

Yes, this cable ensures broad compatibility with Garmin-certified NMEA 2000 devices. The NMEA 2000 standard is a plug-and-play communication standard, meaning it is designed to work with other equipment compliant with this standard.

This 10-metre cable is a backbone cable. It must be connected to the sides of two T-connectors to extend the main NMEA 2000 communication path. It must never be connected to the top of a T-connector.

The backbone cable is the main communication path of the NMEA 2000 network; it is used to connect T-connectors and extend the network. The drop cable connects a NMEA 2000 device to the backbone network, typically via the top of a T-connector. Drop cables are limited to 6 metres, while backbone cables can be much longer.

The maximum length of a single NMEA 2000 backbone cable is 100 meters (328 feet).

Yes, this cable has a robust and flexible construction, making it suitable for demanding marine environments and ensuring signal integrity along its entire length.

Yes, reference 010-12935-24 is equivalent to Garmin part number 010-11076-02.

Yes, an NMEA 2000 network must always be terminated at both ends of the backbone with 120-ohm resistors. Proper termination is essential to ensure signal integrity across the entire backbone length.

This 10-metre cable is a backbone cable. To connect a device to the network, you must use a T-connector. The device’s drop cable must connect to the top of the T-connector, while the backbone cable (like this one) connects to the sides of the T-connector to extend the network.

This cable is a backbone/drop cable and does not directly supply power to the network. Power for the NMEA 2000 network must be provided by a dedicated power cable, connected to a 12 Vdc power source via a T-connector.

An NMEA 2000 network must be connected to a 12 Vdc power source. NMEA 2000 devices must operate between 9 and 16 Vdc, with a nominal voltage of 12 Vdc.

Connecting a NMEA 2000 network to multiple power sources without using a power isolator between the two connections is not recommended. This prevents performance issues or damage to network components.

The dedicated NMEA 2000 power cable must always connect to the top of a T-connector, not the sides. It can be placed at any end or in the middle of the backbone, depending on the length and power requirements of the devices connected to the network.

Yes, this cable has a robust and flexible construction, making it easier to install in various boat layouts while maintaining signal integrity.

Yes, NMEA 2000 drop cables are limited to a maximum length of 6 meters (20 feet) to ensure proper operation and network integrity.

This cable is compatible with a wide range of Garmin devices certified for NMEA 2000, including sensors, chartplotters, multifunction displays (MFD) and antennas, which use NMEA 2000 micro connectors.

For correct construction, the NMEA 2000 backbone must be linear and terminated at both ends. All devices must be connected via T-connectors. Backbone cables (like this one) connect to the sides of the T-connectors, and drop cables (maximum 6 meters) connect to the top of the T-connectors.
