Detailed description

The Sleipner S-Link Backbone 4-metre cable (manufacturer reference 6 1320-4M) is a fundamental component for the communication and power distribution architecture of Sleipner systems on board. Designed to ensure reliable interconnection, it operates on a CAN (Controller Area Network) bus and is fully compatible with the S-Link standard, providing intelligent communication and seamless integration of equipment.

Smart Connectivity and Power Supply

This 4-metre cable serves as a common bus for data transfer and electrical power supply to Sleipner devices. It allows low-power units to be powered directly via the S-Link bus. Systems requiring more power are connected via a dedicated T-connector with a separate power supply for the backbone. The S-Link network enables commands and information necessary for the network, providing user feedback to the control panel and advanced diagnostic capabilities.

Robust Design and Simplified Installation

Built to withstand the marine environment, this cable is splash-proof, ensuring durability against moisture and occasional splashes. Its connectors are round, compact, and watertight, featuring a unique keying system and colour coding (blue for backbone cables) to prevent wiring errors and facilitate precise and rapid installation. The S-Link system design prioritises scalability and flexibility, adapting to various vessel configurations. It is compatible with Sleipner thrusters, including retractable and Pro models with DC control systems, as well as other products under the unified Sleipner brand since 2021.

Expert opinion

« The reliable backbone for your S-Link network »

The 4-meter S-Link Backbone cable is the backbone of Sleipner control systems. It is not just a wire, but a critical component for data transmission and power distribution within the S-Link network, based on the S-Link standard. Integrating a robust backbone is essential for the reliability of the entire thruster and accessory system. Its CAN-based design enables intelligent communication between all connected devices, providing precise diagnostics and comprehensive feedback to control interfaces.

In terms of installation, flexibility is a major advantage. The round, colored, waterproof connectors (blue for the backbone) greatly simplify deployment on vessels of all sizes, from small sailboats to larger units equipped with DC, AC, or hydraulic thrusters. The ability to power low-consumption units directly via the bus, while providing T-connections for higher-power devices, simplifies overall wiring. This cable ensures signal integrity and stable power supply, avoiding common communication issues with unsuitable or lower-quality wiring. It is essential for any new Sleipner installation or for expanding an existing system, ensuring durability and scalability.
