Detailed description

The B&G 000-14397-001 mast cable is an essential component designed specifically for the wired wind sensor systems of the WS300 and WS700 series. At 35 meters long, it ensures reliable data transmission without interference between the anemometer-windvane sensor at the masthead and its NMEA 2000 interface installed below deck. Its robust design is optimized to withstand marine environmental stresses.

Design and technical specifications

This cable is equipped with factory-molded NMEA 2000 Micro-C male and female connectors. This feature guarantees a perfectly watertight and secure connection, eliminating risks of poor contact or corrosion often associated with hand-wired installations. The high-quality thermoplastic jacket protects internal conductors from vibration, chafe, UV exposure, and salt inside the mast. Weighing approximately 1.54 kg, it is designed to minimize weight aloft.

Positioning and installation

At 35 meters (115 feet), this cable is B&G’s solution for large sailboats or those where the NMEA 2000 interface is distant from the mast base. It serves as a direct alternative to the standard 20-meter cable supplied with WS310 sensors, offering flexibility for complex cable runs or masts over 20 meters. Installation is plug-and-play, connecting directly to the sensor (WS310, WS700) and the corresponding interface, ensuring seamless integration within the B&G ecosystem.

Expert opinion

« The essential connection for B&G sensors on tall masts »

Transmitting wind data from the masthead requires absolute reliability, and the 35-meter B&G WS300/700 mast cable is the backbone of this architecture. Designed specifically for sailboats with tall rigs or complex routing to the interface below deck, this cable ensures a latency-free connection between the high-precision wired wind sensors of the WS310 or WS700 series and the vessel’s NMEA 2000 network.

In the field, its marine-grade thermoplastic construction makes all the difference. It delivers exceptional resistance to harsh environments, continuous rigging vibrations, and mechanical stresses from mast stepping and unstepping operations. This mast cable features factory-molded Micro-C connectors, ensuring perfect waterproofing and a highly secure plug-and-play integration. By maintaining total signal and 12V DC power integrity over its 35-meter length, it guarantees that onboard computers and displays receive wind angle and speed data with surgical precision—critical for performance optimization and autopilot responsiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

Which wind sensors is this cable compatible with?

This cable is specifically designed for use with B&G wired wind sensors from the WS310 and WS700 series.

What types of connectors are installed on this cable?

The cable is fitted with male and female Micro-C connectors. They are factory-molded to ensure a reliable and watertight connection.

Can I cut this cable if it is too long for my installation?

No, you must absolutely not cut this cable. The connectors are factory-molded to ensure a perfectly watertight and reliable connection. Cutting the cable would negate these benefits and could cause failures.

Is this cable compatible with the B&G WS320 wireless wind sensor?

No, this cable is not compatible with the WS320. The WS320 is a wireless model that does not require a mast cable. This product is intended for wired sensors WS310 and WS700.

Where do the two ends of this cable connect?

One end of the cable connects to the wind sensor (WS310 or WS700) at the masthead. The other end plugs into the NMEA 2000 interface dedicated to the sensor, which is typically installed inside the boat.

Is the cable jacket marine-environment resistant?

Yes, the cable has a thermoplastic jacket designed to provide durable resistance to demanding marine conditions, including vibrations, UV exposure, and mechanical stresses from mast movement.

Does this cable connect directly to a multifunction display?

No, this cable does not connect directly to a multifunction display. It is used to link the wind transducer to its specific NMEA 2000 interface (connection box). This interface then transmits the data to your boat's NMEA 2000 network.

Is the installation of the connectors complicated?

No, installation is very simple. The connectors are pre-molded and the system is designed for plug-and-play connection. Simply screw the connectors together to obtain a secure and watertight connection without requiring manual wiring.

Is there another length available for this mast cable?

Yes, this 35-metre cable is the long-length alternative to the standard 20-metre cable, which is also available in the B&G range for WS310/WS700 sensors.

Can I use this cable with a sensor from another brand than B&G?

This cable is specifically designed and tested for B&G WS310 and WS700 sensors and their interface. Use with equipment from other brands is not guaranteed and not recommended.

How is the connection's watertightness ensured?

Watertightness is ensured by the Micro-C connectors, which are factory-molded directly onto the cable. This one-piece design eliminates potential water entry points that could occur with manually assembled connectors.

What exactly is this cable for?

This mast cable is an essential component for transmitting wind data. It connects the wired wind sensor (vane anemometer) located at the masthead to its interface to power the sensor and send wind information (speed and angle) to the boat's navigation system.

Is the cable NMEA 2000 type?

Yes, this is an NMEA 2000 cable using standard Micro-C connectors. However, it is dedicated to the connection between the B&G wind sensor and its specific interface, and not for building a general NMEA 2000 backbone.

Are specific tools required to screw the connectors?

No, no specific tools are required to connect the plugs. Micro-C connectors are designed to be hand-tightened, ensuring a solid and watertight connection.

Does the product name mention WS300/700, is it compatible with the WS310?

Yes, absolutely. The WS300 series includes the WS310 model. This cable is therefore fully compatible with the B&G wired wind sensor WS310, as well as with the WS700 series sensors.
