NMEA 2000 micro-C angled cable 40 cm

The angled connector is specifically designed for installations in tight spaces, such as behind a dashboard or near a bulkhead. It allows for easier connection and reduces mechanical stress on the device port, preventing damage to the connections.

Yes, this cable is fully compatible with all NMEA2000-certified equipment, regardless of brand. You can use it without issue with Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, Simrad, Lowrance or B&G devices featuring a Micro-C port.

The Micro-C connector is the standard 5-pin connector used for NMEA 2000 networks. It ensures a reliable and watertight connection for data transfer and power between marine devices on your network.

Technically, NMEA 2000 cables are interchangeable. However, due to its short length of 40 cm, this cable is primarily intended for use as a drop cable to connect a device (display, transducer, antenna) to a T-connector on the backbone.

Yes, this cable is designed for the marine environment. NMEA2000 Micro-C connectors provide excellent protection against moisture and vibrations, typically meeting a high waterproof rating (often IPX7) when properly tightened.

NMEA2000 and NMEA 0183 are two different communication protocols.

NMEA2000 is a more modern "plug-and-play" network that allows multiple devices to communicate simultaneously over a single cable. NMEA 0183 is an older protocol requiring more complex wiring. This cable is only compatible with the NMEA2000 standard.

No, no specific tools are required. Micro-C connectors are designed to be hand-tightened. Just ensure the connection is properly tightened to guarantee waterproofing.

Yes. Since Simrad and Lowrance are both Navico brands, compatibility is perfect. Additionally, the NMEA 2000 standard ensures interoperability between all certified brands.

An NMEA2000 network allows all your compatible marine electronic devices to communicate and share data. For example, your GPS can send its position to your VHF radio and autopilot, all via a single, easy-to-install network.

No, this cable is used to connect a device to the network for data exchange. Power for the NMEA 2000 network must come from a dedicated NMEA 2000 power kit, which connects to a 12V source and is inserted into the backbone via a specific T-connector.

No. Using a certified NMEA 2000 cable like this one should not affect the warranty of your devices, as it complies with a common industry standard. The NMEA 2000 network is designed to be interoperable across brands.

No, the angle of the angled connector is fixed, typically at 90 degrees. You must therefore check the orientation of the port on your device to ensure the cable exits in the desired direction after connection.

Yes, cables compliant with the NMEA 2000 standard feature internal shielding to protect data signals from potential electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by other cables or onboard equipment.

Yes, you can absolutely replace a straight NMEA 2000 Micro-C cable with this bent model. This is an excellent solution if the straight cable strains the connector or takes up too much space behind the device.

The 5 pins of an NMEA 2000 Micro-C connector have specific functions for the network:

NET-S (V+) : Positive power supply (red)
NET-C (V-) : Negative power supply (black)
NET-H : High data signal (white)
NET-L : Low data signal (blue)
Drain : Shielding (bare wire)
