SimNet cable to Micro-C 0.5 m

This adapter cable is designed to connect a device with a SimNet interface to a standard NMEA 2000 network, which uses Micro-C connectors. It enables the integration of existing SimNet products into a NMEA 2000 backbone.

The cable is equipped with a SimNet connector at one end and a male Micro-C connector at the other. This configuration ensures a direct connection between the two types of networks.

This cable is 0.5 meters (approximately 1.6 feet) long. Its compact size is ideal for installations where space is limited and to reduce wiring clutter.

Yes, this cable is designed by Simrad (Navico) to provide durable performance and reliability in marine environments. It is made from robust plastic to withstand typical offshore conditions.

NMEA 2000 and SimNet cables are typically designed to be flexible enough for easy installation in confined spaces while maintaining their robustness for marine use.

The weight of this cable is approximately 0.05 kg (50 grams), which is typical for an adapter cable of this length and type, designed for lightness and ease of installation.

This cable is a passive component. It acts as a physical adapter for data connection between a SimNet device and an NMEA 2000 backbone, without active signal processing.

This cable is compatible with all SimNet devices manufactured by Navico (Simrad, B&G, Lowrance) that use the SimNet communication protocol and require a connection to a standard NMEA 2000 network.

This cable is specifically designed for Navico SimNet devices. While NMEA 2000 is an open standard, the SimNet end is proprietary. It allows connecting SimNet devices to any NMEA 2000 backbone using Micro-C connectors, regardless of the brand of other NMEA 2000 components.

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

No, this cable is a SimNet to NMEA 2000 Micro-C adapter. It is not designed to directly connect two SimNet devices together. For this, specific SimNet cables (SimNet to SimNet) would be required.

No, this cable is specifically designed for NMEA 2000 "Micro-C" type connectors. "Mini-C" connectors are larger and used for NMEA 2000 backbones with higher power or longer lengths. This cable is not directly compatible with Mini-C connectors without an additional adapter.

Yes, the Navico SimNet Device to Micro-C 0.5m cable is designed for "Plug and Play" functionality. This means installation is straightforward and typically does not require complex manual configuration once the physical connections are made.

For installation, simply connect the SimNet end of the cable to your SimNet device and the Micro-C male end to a free port on your NMEA 2000 backbone or to an NMEA 2000 T-connector. Ensure the NMEA 2000 network is properly powered and terminated.

No, the installation of this cable is designed to be straightforward and typically does not require special tools. The connectors screw on by hand to ensure a secure connection.

To extend the connection, it is recommended to use standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C extension cables or SimNet-compatible ones, connected to this cable via a T-connector or a coupler, rather than attempting to modify the cable itself. This ensures the integrity and reliability of the network.

SimNet and Micro-C connectors are designed to fit in only one correct orientation, thanks to keyed connectors. It is not possible to plug them in the wrong way, which simplifies installation and prevents connection errors.

The manufacturer’s warranty typically covers material and manufacturing defects in the cable under normal use conditions. This includes premature failures due to design or manufacturing flaws. Damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or modifications is generally not covered.

Upon purchase, the packaging includes the Navico SimNet Device to Micro-C 0.5m adapter cable (reference 24005729) itself. No other accessories or components are included, as this is a standalone wiring accessory.

The cable is usually packaged to protect it during transport. It is often coiled and placed in a plastic bag or a small cardboard box, ensuring it arrives in perfect condition, ready for installation.
