STng angled – DeviceNet 1m

The Raymarine STng to DeviceNet 1m right-angle adapter cable (part number A06080) is a marine navigation system interconnect component. It provides a link between a Raymarine SeaTalkng network and NMEA2000-compatible equipment, often referred to as DeviceNet in connector contexts. This solution is essential for integrating sensors, displays, or other NMEA2000 devices—whether original or third-party—into a SeaTalkng infrastructure. Its 1-meter length offers flexibility for direct connections over short distances, while the right-angle connector simplifies installation in confined spaces where a straight connector would be cumbersome.

Connectivity and compatibility

Raymarine’s SeaTalkng system, introduced as an evolution of the SeaTalk and SeaTalk2 buses, is a proprietary interconnect bus based on the NMEA2000 protocol. The A06080 cable acts as a bridge between these two standards, enabling SeaTalkng products to communicate with NMEA2000 devices. While straight adapter cables exist for direct connections, the right-angle version of the A06080 is particularly suited to installations where space is constrained, such as behind dashboards or inside masts and consoles. It is part of Raymarine’s cabling accessory range, complementing blue backbone cables and white spur cables to ensure reliable data transmission across the entire network.

Installation and system integration

Installation of the A06080 cable is simplified by its color coding, with identifiable connectors and cables that reduce the risk of misconnections. It plugs directly into a free SeaTalkng port (typically on a backbone or compatible instrument) and into the DeviceNet port of the NMEA2000 device. This interoperability is critical for users looking to modernize their navigation system while retaining existing components or integrating devices from other manufacturers. The cable requires no specific software configuration, operating transparently once connected, much like other passive components in Raymarine’s SeaTalkng network. It contributes to overall system robustness by providing a durable, standards-compliant cabling solution.
