NMEA 2000 Cables and Connectors - Bulk Micro Cable - 10 m (gray)

The Raymarine CG1-10 micro NMEA 2000 cable is a 10-metre grey data cable sold in bulk. It is specifically designed for NMEA 2000 networks, allowing users to cut and terminate cable segments to custom lengths for extending or repairing their onboard network.

This Raymarine CG1-10 micro NMEA 2000 cable is supplied in a 10-meter length. As a bulk cable, it can be cut to the desired length to precisely fit your installation requirements.

The Raymarine CG1-10 NMEA 2000 micro cable is grey.

A bulk NMEA 2000 cable is used to create custom-length NMEA 2000 network segments. It is ideal for:

Extending an existing network.Repairing damaged cables.New installations requiring specific lengths for clean and optimized integration.Avoiding excess cable and potential signal loss associated with pre-assembled standard lengths.

Choosing bulk cable like the CG1-10 offers great installation flexibility. It allows you to:

Precisely customize the length of each cable segment.Avoid clutter by eliminating unnecessary lengths.Optimize cable routing aboard your vessel for a cleaner, more efficient installation.Save money by purchasing only the required cable quantity.

Yes, the Raymarine CG1-10 micro cable is designed to be fully compatible with standard micro NMEA 2000 connectors. You will need to purchase the required male or female connectors separately to terminate the cable according to your needs.

Yes, the NMEA 2000 standard is designed for interoperability. This Raymarine cable is a component compliant with the NMEA 2000 standard and can therefore be used to connect NMEA 2000 equipment from any brand, provided they also use micro NMEA 2000 type connectors.

NMEA 2000 cables come in three main sizes, distinguished by their diameter and current-carrying capacity:

Micro: This is the CG1-10 cable type. It is the thinnest, ideal for drop cables and small networks or shorter backbone segments. It is designed for lower currents.Mid (or Standard): Thicker than micro, used for longer backbones and can handle higher currents.Mini: The thickest of the three, used for very long backbones and systems requiring higher power supply across the network.Each size uses connectors specific to its diameter.

Yes, NMEA 2000 cables, including micro cables, carry both data and electrical power to connected devices. The CG1-10 micro cable can therefore be used for NMEA 2000 network segments that require both data transmission and power supply to devices, within the current limits specified for micro-type cables.

To properly terminate this bulk NMEA 2000 micro cable, you will typically need the following tools:

A cable stripper suited to the NMEA 2000 micro cable diameter. A crimping tool specific to NMEA 2000 connectors (if using crimp connectors). A cutter or side-cutting pliers to cut the cable to the desired length. NMEA 2000 micro connectors (male or female) suitable for your installation.

To ensure a reliable and stable connection with this NMEA 2000 cable, it is essential to:

Use high-quality, certified micro NMEA 2000 connectors.Follow the termination instructions provided with the connectors strictly.Ensure a firm and correct crimp if using crimp-style connectors.Protect all connections from moisture and corrosion with appropriate caps or sleeves.Follow maximum length and NMEA 2000 network design best practices to avoid signal loss.

Yes, as a product intended for marine electronics, the Raymarine CG1-10 cable is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the marine environment. It is made with durable materials to provide good resistance to saltwater, UV rays, temperature variations, and vibrations, ensuring a long lifespan and increased reliability on board.

Yes, that is the main advantage of a bulk cable. You can cut the Raymarine CG1-10 NMEA 2000 micro cable to any required length for your installation, provided you do not exceed the maximum recommended lengths for NMEA 2000 backbone or drop segments to maintain signal integrity.

Yes, it is mandatory to use NMEA 2000 micro connectors for this cable. NMEA 2000 connectors are size-specific (micro, mid, mini) and are not interchangeable between different cable sizes.

Absolutely. The Raymarine CG1-10 bulkhead micro cable is perfectly suited for extending an existing NMEA 2000 network. You can use it to add new backbone segments or new drop lines to connect additional devices, terminating it with the appropriate connectors.

No, the Raymarine CG1-10 cable is specifically designed for NMEA 2000 networks. NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 are different communication protocols with incompatible wiring requirements and connectors. This cable cannot be used directly with NMEA 0183 equipment.

NMEA 2000 networks typically operate on a 12 V DC power supply. The Raymarine CG1-10 micro cable is designed to carry this voltage as well as data to power NMEA 2000 devices connected to the network.

Yes, NMEA 2000 cables, including the Raymarine micro cable CG1-10, are typically shielded. This shielding is essential to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrical noise, ensuring reliable and stable data transmission in the often complex electrical environment of a vessel.

NMEA 2000 networks are widely used for navigation and monitoring applications aboard vessels. NMEA 2000-certified products, including approved cables and connectors, are tested to meet critical safety standards. This cable, as a component of an NMEA 2000 network, is designed to provide high reliability in these applications, provided it is installed correctly according to network standards.

Yes, there are maximum length recommendations for NMEA 2000 network segments to ensure signal and power integrity. For micro-type cables, the maximum length of a drop cable is generally 6 meters, and the total backbone length depends on the load and cable type, but for a network using mostly micro, it is often limited to about 100 meters. It is always recommended to consult the NMEA 2000 installation guidelines when designing your network.
