NMEA 2000 backbone/tap cable - Right-angle plug (33cm)

This Garmin NMEA 2000 cable features a right-angle connector and a 0.3-meter (1-foot) length. The right-angle connector is particularly useful for integrating equipment in setups where space behind the connectors is limited, preventing excessive strain on device ports.

This NMEA 2000 backbone/drop cable has a length of 0.3 meters (33 cm or 1 foot). It is designed for short connections or minimal network extensions.

Yes, this Garmin 010-11089-01 cable can be used as a drop cable. A drop cable connects a NMEA 2000 device to the backbone of the network.

Yes, this 0.3-metre cable can also be used as a backbone cable to extend the main NMEA 2000 network. It connects alongside two T-connectors to maintain a linear backbone construction.

The angled plug of this cable is designed for installations where space behind device connectors is limited. It allows for a more flexible connection and reduces strain on the ports, making integration easier in confined environments aboard your vessel.

This cable is compatible with NMEA 2000 micro-connectors. Garmin uses NMEA 2000 micro-connectors on its devices, sensors, and T-connectors, which are compatible with other NMEA 2000 micro-connectors and cables.

NMEA 2000 is a plug-and-play communication standard used to connect marine sensors and displays aboard vessels. It is considered the successor to the NMEA 0183 serial data bus standard and enables reliable interconnection of various equipment.

Yes, this cable is designed to be compatible with NMEA 2000-certified devices from other manufacturers, in addition to Garmin equipment. The NMEA 2000 standard ensures interoperability between compliant products.

A drop cable must always be connected to the top of a T-connector or to the side of an inline terminator. It must never be connected to the sides of a T-connector, as these are reserved for the backbone.

NMEA 2000 drop cables are limited to a maximum length of 6 meters (20 feet). This 0.3-meter cable complies well within this limit.

The maximum length of a single NMEA 2000 backbone cable is 100 meters (328 feet). However, a cable up to 6 meters (20 feet) can be used as a backbone or drop cable. A cable longer than 6 meters (20 feet) can only be used as a backbone cable.

Yes, it is essential to install terminators (120-ohm resistors) at both ends of the NMEA 2000 backbone. Correct termination is critical to ensure signal integrity across the entire backbone and proper network operation.

Garmin uses NMEA 2000 micro-connectors on its devices, sensors, and T-connectors. These connectors are compatible with other NMEA 2000 micro-connectors and cables compliant with the standard.

A T-connector is a three-way connector, featuring one male micro-connector and two female micro-connectors. It is used to connect a NMEA 2000 device or power cable to the network backbone.

No, this cable is a passive component and does not supply power to the NMEA 2000 network. Power (12 Vdc) is supplied to the network via a dedicated NMEA 2000 power cable connected to a T-connector.

Yes, this cable is designed to integrate into a NMEA 2000 ecosystem and is compatible with Garmin-certified NMEA 2000 devices and those from other manufacturers. The NMEA 2000 standard ensures interoperability.

The dedicated NMEA 2000 power cable must be connected to the top port of a T-connector, not the side port. It must be wired to a 12 Vdc power source via the ignition switch or another external switch to prevent draining the boat’s battery.

For a correct NMEA 2000 backbone construction, all T-connectors must be connected to each other on the sides, either directly or via a backbone cable. The top of a T-connector is solely intended for connecting a device or the power supply, and the backbone cannot pass through the top of a T-connector. Terminators must be installed at both ends.

A backbone cable is used to extend the main communication path of the NMEA 2000 network, connecting devices located in different areas of the boat. A drop cable, on the other hand, connects an individual NMEA 2000 device directly to the network backbone. This cable (0.3 m) can be used for both functions.
