NMEA 2000 extension cable 4.55 m

This NMEA 2000 extension cable has a length of 4.55 meters (approximately 15 feet). This length is ideal for connecting distant instruments or extending your marine network.

An NMEA 2000 extension cable is used to increase the distance between two components in an existing NMEA 2000 network. It allows you to connect instruments located in distant areas on your boat, extend the length of the backbone (the network’s backbone), or serve as a longer drop cable for a specific device.

Yes, this Navico cable is specifically designed to withstand harsh marine conditions. Its robust construction resists vibration, moisture, spray, and UV rays, ensuring optimal durability and reliability.

This cable uses standard Micro-C connectors. These connectors are the most common for NMEA2000 networks and ensure "plug-and-play" compatibility with most marine equipment.

Yes, although it is often used to extend the NMEA 2000 backbone (the main network backbone), its 4.55 m length also makes it very useful as a drop cable for connecting devices that require greater distance from the nearest T-connector.

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to its standardized Micro-C connectors, this cable is fully compatible with all NMEA 2000-certified equipment, regardless of brand. This includes brands such as Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno, and those in the Navico group (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G).

No, this cable is specifically designed for the NMEA2000 network and is not compatible with the NMEA0183 protocol. These are two distinct marine communication standards using different cables and connectors.

Yes, this cable is fully compatible with Simrad, Lowrance and B&G devices, as they are all part of the Navico group and use the NMEA2000 standard with Micro-C connectors.

Yes, NMEA 2000 cables are designed to carry both data and electrical power to devices connected to the network. This extension cable ensures reliable data transfer and stable power supply.

No, this cable is "plug-and-play". Micro-C connectors are designed to be hand-tightened onto T-connectors or NMEA 2000 ports on devices without requiring any special tools.

Cutting or modifying the length of NMEA 2000 cables is not recommended. These cables are manufactured with specific impedances and shielding to ensure signal integrity. Cutting the cable could result in signal loss, interference, or network malfunction.

No, NMEA2000 extension cables are bidirectional. Both ends are identical and can be connected to any Micro-C port on the network without regard to direction.

The Micro-C connectors on this cable are designed to be waterproof when properly tightened. It is essential to ensure the locking nuts are hand-tightened to guarantee a secure and water-resistant connection.

Yes, NMEA 2000 cables, including this Navico model, are typically shielded. This shielding is essential to protect data signals from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring reliable communication on the marine network.

The SKU reference for this NMEA 2000 extension cable is 000-0119-86.

Yes, this is precisely one of its main functions. This extension cable is designed to extend the range of your existing NMEA 2000 network, whether for the backbone or to reach more distant devices.

NMEA 2000 cables, including extension cables, are typically black. This color is standardized for most NMEA 2000 network components to facilitate identification.

This NMEA 2000 extension cable is made by Navico, a recognized player in marine electronics.

Using multiple extension cables is common in a NMEA2000 network. As long as the total length of the backbone and drop cables complies with the maximum specifications of the NMEA2000 standard (typically 100 meters for a standard Micro-C backbone), and terminations are correctly installed, performance should not be affected. It is important not to exceed the recommended maximum lengths for drop cables (typically 6 meters).

NMEA 2000 cables are designed to be relatively flexible, allowing installation in confined spaces. However, it is always advisable to avoid sharp bends that could damage the cable or affect signal integrity.
