Seatalk NG 0.4m cable

This cable is a spur cable for Raymarine's SeaTalk NG network. It is used to connect individual instruments, sensors, or displays to the backbone.

The connectors on this spur cable are white. At Raymarine, the white color code indicates spur cables (spurs) connecting devices to the SeaTalk NG backbone.

This cable measures exactly 0.4 meters (40 centimeters). It is the shortest length available in the range, ideal for close connections without cluttering the space with unnecessary cable loops.

Yes, this is a spur cable with white connectors, designed specifically to connect an instrument, display, or sensor directly to the backbone.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG protocol is based on the NMEA 2000 standard for data transfer. However, since the physical connectors are specific to Raymarine, a SeaTalk NG to DeviceNet adapter cable will be required to directly connect devices from other brands.

No tools are required. SeaTalk NG connectors feature a rotating locking ring that tightens easily by hand, ensuring a secure and watertight connection.

No, the SeaTalk NG branch cable is reversible. Both ends have identical female connectors, so you can connect it in either direction between your device and the T-connector or distribution block.

It is strongly advised against cutting or modifying a SeaTalk NG cable. This would destroy its waterproofing, void its reliability, and could alter the network's impedance, leading to data loss. Instead, use through-hull fittings sized for the connectors.

Yes, Raymarine's SeaTalk NG connection system is designed for the marine environment. Once properly connected and the locking ring tightened, the connection is fully watertight and protected against spray and moisture.

No. This cable is a spur cable designed solely to connect an instrument to the network (white connectors). To connect two 5-way blocks together, you must use a backbone cable with blue connectors (e.g., A06033).

This cable physically carries SeaTalk NG network data. To integrate older SeaTalk 1 devices on this network, you will need a specific SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk NG converter kit.

If the distance between your two connection points exceeds 0.4m, you must choose a longer backbone cable. Raymarine offers these cables in several lengths, including 1m, 3m, 5m, 9m, and 20m.

This cable is very light, weighing about 100 grams (0.1 kg), making it easy to handle and install behind bulkheads or under decks without requiring heavy-duty fastenings.

Never bend a data cable at a right angle. You must respect a minimum bend radius (10 cm for SeaTalk NG cables) to avoid breaking internal wires or damaging the cable shielding.

No, this cable is only used to extend the backbone. A SeaTalk NG network requires two network terminations (blue caps), placed at each end of the backbone, to function correctly.

Yes, this is a white spur cable. It is specifically designed to be connected to the white connectors on SeaTalk NG tee blocks or distribution blocks.

No, part number A06038 includes only the 0.4m branch cable. T-connectors, junction blocks, and terminations must be purchased separately based on your installation requirements.

If you need to extend the backbone line of your network between two distribution boxes, you require a backbone cable (blue). If you need to connect a device (display, sensor) to the backbone line, you require this branch cable (white).

While the backbone cable carries the 12V power supply throughout the network, it does not serve to inject current from the battery. For this, you must use a dedicated SeaTalk NG power cable (red).

Garmin or B&G equipment uses standard NMEA 2000 connectors (DeviceNet). You cannot connect them directly to your SeaTalk NG backbone. You will need a SeaTalk NG to DeviceNet adapter cable (female or male).
