1.5m SeaTalk NG SPUR F cable / Devicenet NMEA 2000 M connector

The Raymarine A06046 cable is designed to connect a Raymarine device with a SeaTalkng interface of the 'spur' type (branch) to a standard NMEA 2000 network. It enables interconnection and data transmission of navigation and sensor data between the two protocols, facilitating system interoperability.

The Raymarine A06046 cable is 1.5 metres long.

This cable is fitted with a female SeaTalkng connector on the spur (drop) side and a male DeviceNet connector on the NMEA 2000 side. It is specifically designed for integration applications between these two network types.

According to Raymarine's SeaTalkng color code, the white color of cable A06046 indicates that it is a spur cable, also called a 'spur'. SeaTalkng backbone cables are typically blue.

The A06046 cable is a spur cable, or « spur ». It is designed to connect an individual device to the main backbone of a SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 network.

SeaTalkng is Raymarine's proprietary interconnection bus system, which is an optimized implementation of the NMEA 2000 standard. Although both are based on the same communication protocol, SeaTalkng uses specific connectors (notably for spurs), while standard NMEA 2000 uses DeviceNet connectors.

Yes, like all NMEA 2000 and SeaTalkng cables, the A06046 cable is designed to enable bidirectional transmission of navigation data and sensor data between connected devices.

No, cable A06046 is specifically designed for SeaTalkng to NMEA 2000 (DeviceNet) interconnection. To connect SeaTalk(1) products to a SeaTalkng network, specific SeaTalk(1) to SeaTalkng adapter cables are required, often via Raymarine products that perform bridging functions.

This cable is compatible with all Raymarine products featuring a SeaTalkng interface of the 'spur' type (drop), i.e., those connected to the SeaTalkng network via a female spur connector.

Yes, the A06046 cable is compatible with NMEA 2000 networks certified as DeviceNet, which are used by most other marine equipment brands such as Garmin, Simrad, or B&G. It allows connecting a Raymarine SeaTalkng device to these networks.

No, cable A06046 is a spur cable, identifiable by its white color. It is designed to connect a single device to the network. SeaTalkng backbone cables are blue and are used to extend the main network line.

Cable A06046 connects on one end to a Raymarine device via its SeaTalkng spur port (female), and on the other end to an existing NMEA 2000 network via its DeviceNet male connector. It acts as a bridge between these two types of connectors.

Cable A06046 is a spur cable and does not require terminators. Terminators are mandatory and must be installed only at the two ends of the main backbone cable of the SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 network to ensure correct data transmission.

No, a spur cable such as the A06046 does not require a separate power supply. Devices connected via spur cables are powered by the main backbone of the SeaTalkng or NMEA 2000 network, which itself is powered by a dedicated power cable.

During installation, ensure connections are tight and secure to prevent data loss. It is also recommended to follow general marine cable installation guidelines to avoid electromagnetic interference and physical damage.

Cutting and splicing network cables such as the A06046 is strongly discouraged. Using standardized cable lengths is recommended to maintain network integrity and avoid data transmission issues. A wide range of cable lengths is available to suit different configurations.

To connect a SeaTalkng device, plug the female SeaTalkng connector of cable A06046 into the spur port of your Raymarine device. Then, connect the male DeviceNet connector of cable A06046 to a free port on the backbone of your existing NMEA 2000 network.

Yes, Raymarine equipment, including this cable, is designed for use in recreational marine environments and is manufactured to industrial standards to ensure performance and durability.

No, cable A06046 is a spur cable and a connector adapter. It is intended to connect a device to an existing NMEA 2000 or SeaTalkng network. To create a new network, you would need an NMEA 2000 or SeaTalkng starter kit including a backbone, terminators, a power cable, and connectors.

Using cable A06046 allows direct and simplified integration of Raymarine equipment (with SeaTalkng spur connection) into a standard NMEA 2000 network. It eliminates the need for complex backbone adapters and ensures reliable data transmission between the two systems, optimizing the interoperability of your marine electronics.
