Micro-C to SimNet Adapter Cable - 4 m

The NAVICO Micro-C Device to SimNet 4m cable is an adapter designed to connect an NMEA 2000® device with a female Micro-C connector to an existing SimNet backbone. It enables the integration of new NMEA 2000® equipment into SimNet-based systems.

The primary function of this cable is to bridge two marine network standards: NMEA 2000® (via a Micro-C connector) and SimNet. It enables communication and data sharing between a NMEA 2000® device and a SimNet backbone network.

This adapter cable is 4 meters long, which is approximately 13 feet.

The cable is fitted with a Micro-C female connector at one end, designed to plug into a NMEA 2000® device, and a SimNet connector at the other end for connection to the SimNet backbone.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed for the marine environment. NMEA 2000® and SimNet network cables and connectors are robust and resistant to typical marine conditions such as moisture and vibrations.

The weight of this adapter cable is approximately 0.193 kg.

Yes, this cable can be used to extend a SimNet network by integrating new NMEA 2000® devices. It allows adding sensors, displays, or other modern equipment to an existing SimNet system.

This cable is compatible with all NMEA 2000® certified devices that use a Micro-C male connector for their network connection. It is designed for next-generation NMEA 2000® products.

No, this cable is specifically designed to connect a NMEA 2000® device (with Micro-C connector) to a SimNet backbone. To connect a SimNet device to a NMEA 2000® network, a different adapter would be required (e.g., a SimNet Device to Micro-C cable).

Yes, as long as the NMEA 2000® devices comply with the NMEA 2000® standard and use a standard Micro-C connector, and the backbone is a SimNet network, this cable should be compatible. The NMEA 2000® and SimNet standards are designed for interoperability.

Micro-C and Mini-C connectors are two sizes of connectors used in NMEA 2000® networks. The Micro-C is the most common size for devices and drop cables, while the Mini-C is larger and typically used for longer backbone cables or connections requiring higher current. This cable uses the Micro-C connector.

No, this cable is not compatible with NMEA 0183 networks. It is designed exclusively for NMEA 2000® and SimNet networks, which use different communication standards from NMEA 0183.

This cable is compatible with Navico devices (Simrad, Lowrance, B&G, etc.) that use the NMEA 2000® standard with a Micro-C connector and must be integrated into a SimNet backbone network. Verify the connector type of your specific Navico device.

No, this cable is not designed to connect two SimNet networks together. It is used to connect a NMEA 2000® device to a SimNet network. To connect SimNet segments, standard SimNet cables are required.

Installation is straightforward: connect the Micro-C female end to the NMEA 2000® male port of your device. Then, connect the SimNet end to a free SimNet port on your SimNet backbone. Ensure all connections are tight to maintain waterproof integrity.

No, installing this cable generally does not require specific tools. NMEA 2000® Micro-C and SimNet connectors are designed to be plugged in and tightened by hand.

Always power down your marine electronics system before connecting or disconnecting network components to prevent short-circuit risks or equipment damage.

No, this cable does not require a separate power supply. It transmits both power and data directly from the SimNet backbone network to the connected NMEA 2000® device, or vice versa, depending on the network's operation.

NMEA 2000® Micro-C and SimNet connectors are designed to be watertight when properly screwed in. Ensure the O-rings are in place and the locking rings are hand-tightened to guarantee optimal sealing in a marine environment.

Yes, there is a specific orientation. The end with the Micro-C female connector is intended to connect to a NMEA 2000® device (which will have a Micro-C male connector). The other end, with the SimNet connector, connects to the SimNet backbone. This is not a bidirectional cable in terms of connector type.
