SeaTalk NG backline cable, 1 meter long

A SeaTalk NG backbone cable is an essential component of Raymarine’s SeaTalk NG marine communication network. It forms the backbone of the network, connecting the various T-connectors and enabling NMEA 2000 data transmission between all devices connected aboard your boat, such as multifunction displays, autopilots, instruments, and sensors.

This specific SeaTalk NG backbone cable (reference A06034) is 1 meter (100 cm) long. This is a common and versatile length, ideal for medium-distance connections within your network.

Yes, Raymarine's SeaTalk NG system is electrically compatible with the NMEA2000 standard. This means this cable can carry NMEA2000 data. However, it uses proprietary Raymarine connectors (blue) that require specific adapters (sold separately) to connect directly to NMEA2000 equipment using standard Micro-C connectors.

SeaTalk NG backbone cables, like this one, are easily identifiable by their blue connectors at each end. Spur cables, which connect individual devices to the backbone network, use white connectors.

Raymarine's SeaTalk NG connectors are designed to provide more secure locking and increased robustness. This proprietary design is particularly beneficial in marine environments where vibrations and movements can potentially loosen standard system connections.

This backbone cable is designed to connect two SeaTalk NG T-connectors together, extending the backbone of your network. Simply plug one end of the cable into one of the blue ports of a T-connector and the other end into a blue port of another T-connector. Ensure the connections are fully seated to guarantee reliable data transmission.

No, this cable is a backbone cable. It is designed to form the backbone of the network by linking T-connectors. To connect an individual device (such as a multifunction display or a sensor) to the network, you will need a SeaTalk NG spur cable, which is identifiable by its white connectors.

Yes, as a Raymarine product designed for marine applications, this SeaTalk NG backbone cable is manufactured with materials resistant to corrosion, salt water, UV, and vibrations, ensuring optimal durability and reliability in the marine environment.

Yes, Raymarine offers a full range of SeaTalk NG backbone cables to suit various configurations. Lengths typically range from 400 mm (part number A06033) to 20 m (part number A06037), providing high flexibility for network installation.

To build a functional SeaTalk NG network, in addition to backbone cables like this one, you will generally need the following components:

SeaTalk NG T-connectors for each device and for backbone connection points.

A SeaTalk NG power cable to supply power to the network.

SeaTalk NG terminators for each end of the backbone.

SeaTalk NG spur cables to connect each device to the network.

Yes, SeaTalk NG and NMEA2000 Micro-C components can be mixed on the same network as they are electrically compatible. However, you will need specific adapters (e.g., a SeaTalk NG to NMEA2000 Micro-C adapter) to interconnect the different connector types.

No, the SeaTalk NG system is a different network architecture from the older SeaTalk 1. This backbone cable is not directly compatible with SeaTalk 1 equipment or wiring. Gateways or specific converters (for example, a SeaTalk to SeaTalk NG converter) are required to integrate SeaTalk 1 devices into a SeaTalk NG network.

The part number (SKU) of this 1-meter SeaTalk NG backbone cable is A06034.

Yes, absolutely. This 1-meter backbone cable is ideal for extending an existing SeaTalk NG network. It allows you to add length to your backbone to reach new installation points or to reorganize the layout of your onboard equipment.

No, SeaTalk NG cables are designed for simple installation and generally require no special tools. The connectors are "plug-and-play" type and lock into place manually for a secure connection.

The backbone is the main line of the SeaTalk NG network that carries both data and power. All devices and spur cables connect to this backbone via T-connectors. It ensures that information can flow freely and reliably between all system components.

SeaTalk NG backbone cables should not be cut or modified. These cables are manufactured with specific lengths and connectors to ensure network integrity and reliable data transmission. For different lengths, use Raymarine pre-assembled cables instead.

This backbone cable is a Raymarine product, a recognized marine electronics manufacturer.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG backbone cable carries both NMEA 2000 data and the electrical power required for the operation of devices connected to the network. Power is typically injected into the network via a dedicated SeaTalk NG power cable, connected to a T-connector on the backbone.

This Raymarine SeaTalk NG backbone cable may be manufactured in China or Hungary, depending on production batches.
