Detailed description

The Navico 10-meter NMEA2000 backbone cable is an essential component for building or extending the backbone of your marine communication network. Designed specifically for long-range applications, it allows you to connect distant electronic devices on larger vessels without signal degradation.

Low-loss design for maximum reliability

The main feature of this cable is its 18 AWG gauge, which provides a larger conductor cross-section than standard cables. This "low-loss" specification is critical to minimize voltage drop across the network length, a critical factor when many devices are connected and powered via the NMEA2000 bus. Using this cable ensures that devices at the end of the network receive stable power and data signals, preventing intermittent failures and communication losses.

Network integration and compatibility

This 10-meter cable is ideal for installations requiring significant distance coverage in a single run, for example between the helm station and the chart table or mast. By using a single cable length, you reduce the number of connectors, which are potential failure points. Equipped with standard NMEA2000 Micro-C connectors, it is fully compatible with Navico equipment (B&G, Simrad, Lowrance) as well as all other NMEA2000-certified devices from brands like Garmin or Raymarine, ensuring perfect interoperability within your navigation system.

Expert opinion

Pol CONIN

Digital Manager

« Professional-grade backbone for a no-compromise NMEA 2000 backbone »

This Navico 10m backbone cable isn’t just a cable—it’s an insurance policy for the stability of your NMEA 2000 network. Its 18 AWG gauge is a critical technical detail that sets it apart. On an extended network, voltage drop is the number one enemy, causing random malfunctions that are hard to diagnose. By specifying this "low-loss" cable for long backbone runs, you ensure stable power delivery to all instruments, even the farthest ones. Using a single continuous length like this is a professional installation practice, as it eliminates intermediate connection points—statistically the primary sources of failures and water intrusion. It’s a strategic choice for any serious and long-term installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the exact length of this cable?

This NMEA 2000 backbone cable measures precisely 10 meters in length.

Is this cable compatible with Garmin or Raymarine equipment?

Yes, this cable is fully compatible with all NMEA2000-certified devices, including those from brands like Garmin or Raymarine. It uses standard Micro-C connectors.

Why is this cable described as "low-loss"?

It is described as "low-loss" because it uses an 18 AWG conductor, thicker than standard cables. This minimizes voltage drop over long distances, ensuring stable power supply and data signal for all devices connected to the network.

Can I use this cable to directly connect a transducer or a display?

No, this cable is a backbone cable designed to build or extend the backbone of your network. To connect a device, you must use a T-connector on the backbone, then a drop cable between the T-connector and the device.

What types of connectors are present on this cable?

This cable is fitted with standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C connectors at each end, ensuring a secure and watertight connection with other network components.

Is this cable compatible with Simrad, Lowrance and B&G devices?

Yes, absolutely. Navico is the parent company of Simrad, Lowrance and B&G, so this cable is designed for perfect compatibility with all their NMEA 2000 equipment.

Is it possible to cut this cable to adjust it to a specific length?

Cutting and splicing a NMEA 2000 cable is strongly discouraged. This could compromise signal integrity, waterproofing, and overall reliability of your navigation network.

What is the purpose of a "backbone" cable in an NMEA2000 network?

The backbone cable, or 'backbone,' is the communication and power backbone of the NMEA2000 network. All devices (displays, transducers, GPS antennas, etc.) connect to this main cable via T-connectors.

Can I use this cable to replace a cable from another brand on my existing network?

Yes, provided your existing network is a NMEA 2000 network using Micro-C connectors, you can use this Navico cable to replace or extend a backbone section without any compatibility issues.

Is this cable suitable for a marine environment?

Yes, this cable is specifically designed for marine environments. The connectors and the cable itself are robust and designed to withstand vibration, moisture, and spray.

Do I need specific tools to install this cable?

No, no specific tools are required. Micro-C connectors are hand-tightened for a simple, quick, and secure connection.

Can this cable carry both data and power?

Yes, in accordance with the NMEA2000 standard, this cable carries both digital data between devices and the 12 V power supply required for most sensors and small displays on the network.

Can I connect multiple 10m cables together for a longer length?

Yes, you can connect multiple backbone cables end-to-end to extend your network length. Using this low-loss cable is recommended for long backbones to maintain signal quality.

Is this cable compatible with an older NMEA 0183 network?

No, this cable is not compatible with an NMEA 0183 network. The protocols, connectors, and wiring are completely different. To connect NMEA 0183 devices to an NMEA 2000 network, a specific adapter or gateway is required.

What is included in the packaging?

The packaging contains a single Navico-branded NMEA 2000 backbone cable, 10 meters long.

What is the advantage of using a single 10m cable instead of two 5m cables?

Using a single 10-metre cable reduces the number of connection points on your backbone. Fewer connections mean fewer failure risks, signal losses, or sealing issues, which improves the overall reliability of your installation.

Can this cable be used with a Raymarine SeaTalkNG network?

To connect this cable to a Raymarine SeaTalkNG network, you will need a specific adapter cable (SeaTalkNG to NMEA2000 Micro-C). Although the protocols are compatible, the connectors are physically different.

Which brand is this cable from?

This cable is an official Navico product, a brand recognized for its high-quality marine electronic equipment.

Is there a warranty on this product?

This product is covered by Navico's standard manufacturer warranty. This typically covers manufacturing and material defects under normal conditions of use.

Is this cable flexible enough for installation in confined spaces?

Yes, although it is robust, the NMEA 2000 cable is designed to be sufficiently flexible to be routed through bulkheads and technical conduits on a boat.
