DeviceNet Male to SeaTalkng Adapter (120mm)

Designed for system integration, the Raymarine DeviceNet Male to STNG adapter (reference A06078) ensures connectivity between NMEA2000 equipment and the proprietary SeaTalkng network. With a length of 120 mm, this adapter cable allows connecting a device with a DeviceNet male connector (NMEA2000 standard) to a female spur port on a SeaTalkng backbone. This solution is essential for installations requiring interoperability between different marine electronic devices.

Integration and SeaTalkng compatibility

Raymarine’s SeaTalkng system is an interconnection bus that uses a main backbone and spur cables to connect products. The A06078 adapter fits into this architecture by providing a direct gateway for NMEA2000 products. While other adapters or converters (such as those for SeaTalk(1) to SeaTalkng) handle older protocols, this adapter specifically focuses on the physical connector conversion between the NMEA2000 standard (often called DeviceNet) and the SeaTalkng connector. It differs from standard SeaTalkng spur cables in the range, which only connect native Raymarine products.

Network architecture and technical specifications

Using this adapter simplifies the extension of a SeaTalkng network by integrating NMEA2000 sensors or displays without requiring complex protocol converters. SeaTalkng cables and connectors are color-coded for ease of installation: backbones are blue, spurs are white. This adapter is a spur-type cable, designed to be connected to a SeaTalkng T-connector or junction block. Its 120 mm length is suited for short, direct connections, reducing clutter and wiring complexity near connection points. It is critical to ensure the SeaTalkng network is properly terminated at both ends of the backbone to guarantee reliable data transmission—a fundamental rule for any network based on CAN bus, including NMEA2000 and SeaTalkng.
