NMEA 2000 cables and connectors - Bulk micro cable - 50 m (gray)

This Raymarine NMEA 2000 micro cable is supplied in bulk on a 50-meter length. It is designed to be cut and adapted to your installation's specific requirements.

The Raymarine NMEA 2000 micro cable, part number CG1-50, is grey in color.

This is a micro NMEA 2000 cable. Micro cables are commonly used for medium to small NMEA 2000 networks, offering good flexibility for installation.

A bulk NMEA 2000 cable, such as the CG1-50, is ideal for custom installations. It allows installers to cut the cable to the exact length required for each segment of the network, optimizing layout and reducing excess cable. This ensures a clean and efficient installation.

Yes, NMEA 2000 cables are specifically designed to meet the reliability and safety requirements for marine environments. They are made with materials resistant to saltwater, UV rays, and temperature variations to ensure optimal durability on board.

This NMEA 2000 cable is manufactured by Raymarine, a recognized brand in marine electronics.

Yes, NMEA 2000 cables, including the micro type, are shielded. This shielding is essential to protect signal integrity and minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable data transmission across the network.

The NMEA 2000 micro cable CG1-50 is compatible with NMEA 2000 micro connectors (M12 5-pin). These connectors are required to terminate the cable and integrate it into the network.

Yes, the NMEA 2000 standard is designed for interoperability. This cable is compatible with all certified NMEA 2000 devices and networks, regardless of the manufacturer’s brand, as long as they use micro-type connections.

No, this cable is specifically a 'micro' type cable. It is not directly compatible with the connectors or wiring requirements of 'mini' or 'standard' NMEA 2000 networks without specific adapters, which are generally not recommended to maintain network integrity.

Yes, the CG1-50 cable is perfectly suited for extending or modifying an existing NMEA 2000 network, provided the network uses micro NMEA 2000 components. It allows adding new devices or relocating equipment by creating custom cable lengths.

Yes, as a Raymarine product, this cable is fully compatible with Raymarine devices that use the NMEA 2000 standard and micro-type connections.

Yes, as a NMEA 2000 compliant cable, it is designed for reliable data transmission between marine devices. Its shielding and construction meet signal integrity requirements for optimal network performance.

Yes, this cable is sold loose precisely to allow users to cut it to the exact length required for each connection. This provides great flexibility for customized and optimized installation.

To create connections with this bulk cable, you will need:

Micro NMEA 2000 connectors (male and/or female) to crimp or screw. Wire strippers and crimping tools (if using crimp connectors) or a screwdriver (if using screw connectors) suitable for the cable diameter. A continuity tester to verify connections once assembled.

The maximum total length of a micro-type NMEA 2000 network is generally 100 meters. However, each drop cable segment connecting a device to the backbone must not exceed a certain length (typically 6 meters) to maintain signal integrity. Always consult the NMEA 2000 installation guidelines when designing your network.

To ensure waterproofing, it is crucial to use high-quality marine-grade micro NMEA 2000 connectors designed for this purpose. These connectors typically include O-rings or other sealing mechanisms. Correct installation and proper tightening of the connectors are essential to prevent water ingress.

Yes, the NMEA 2000 micro cable is designed to provide good flexibility, making routing and installation easier in the often cramped spaces aboard a vessel. Its flexibility helps create clean curves and passages.

Yes, for a proper and reliable installation, specific tools are recommended. This includes a precision wire stripper to avoid damaging the conductors, and if you are using crimp connectors, a suitable crimping tool. For screw-type connectors, a small screwdriver is usually sufficient.
