N2K cable - Medium duty 20m (65.6ft)

This cable is designed to create or extend the backbone of a NMEA 2000 network. It ensures stable and reliable connections between different marine electronic devices compatible with NMEA 2000, minimizing signal loss over longer distances.

The length of this Navico N2K cable is 20 meters, which corresponds to approximately 65.6 feet or 66.6 feet.

This cable is easily identifiable by its orange locking collars, which are a distinctive feature of Navico NMEA 2000 Micro-C medium duty cables.

This cable uses 18-gauge wire. The thicker gauge is designed to reduce signal loss over long distances.

An 18-gauge cable is considered a low-loss cable. It is recommended for NMEA 2000 backbone networks as it helps maintain signal integrity over longer distances, ensuring a more robust and reliable network.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed for marine environments. Its "medium duty" rating indicates robustness suitable for common stresses encountered on a boat, ensuring a stable and durable connection.

The "medium duty" designation for this NMEA 2000 Micro-C cable indicates it uses a thicker wire gauge (18-gauge) compared to standard Micro-C cables (often 22-gauge). This results in better backbone network performance, reducing signal loss over longer lengths and providing increased robustness.

The SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) reference for this cable is 000-14379-001.

The barcode (EAN/UPC) for this product is 9420024171363.

The weight of this cable is approximately 2.3 kilograms.

Yes, this cable is considered an essential accessory for NMEA 2000 networks, particularly for setting up or extending the network backbone, ensuring reliable communication between devices.

This Navico N2K cable is manufactured in China.

This cable is compatible with all marine electronic devices using the NMEA 2000 protocol and equipped with Micro-C connectors. This includes a wide range of chartplotters, fishfinders, radars, autopilots, and sensors.

Yes, since it complies with the NMEA 2000 standard and uses standard Micro-C connectors, this cable is compatible with NMEA 2000 equipment from most manufacturers, not just Navico.

This cable is fitted with Micro-C male-to-female type connectors, compliant with the NMEA 2000 standard. These connectors are standardized to ensure broad compatibility.

No, this cable is specifically designed for NMEA 2000 networks. NMEA 0183 protocols and connectors are different and not directly compatible with this NMEA 2000 cable.

This cable is intended for the NMEA 2000 backbone and for connecting NMEA 2000 devices. Transducers typically have their own dedicated cables that connect directly to a fishfinder or a specific interface, not directly to the NMEA 2000 backbone using this type of cable.

Yes, this 20-meter, 18-gauge cable is specifically recommended for NMEA 2000 backbone networks. Its design minimizes signal loss over this length, which is critical for network reliability.

The orange locking collars enable quick and easy identification of the cable within a complex installation. They also ensure a secure and watertight connection, preventing accidental disconnections at sea.

Yes, it is possible to extend the length of your NMEA 2000 network by connecting this cable to other NMEA 2000-compatible Micro-C cables, using T-connectors or extension cables if necessary, while respecting the maximum network length specifications.
