Detailed description

Designed for marine NMEA 2000 networks, the 5-metre CZone backbone cable (reference 80-911-0024-00) ensures reliable data and power transmission. This cable is specifically engineered for backbone lines, differing from drop cables by its optimized design to minimize voltage drop. It features large-gauge 18 AWG power conductors, essential for maintaining stable voltage over long distances and ensuring the proper operation of all connected devices.

Design and Compatibility

The CZone backbone cable 80-911-0024-00 is equipped with connectors featuring gold-plated copper alloy pins and sockets, providing superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. Its robust and durable outer PVC jacket delivers resistance suited to marine environments. With NMEA 2000 certification, it offers universal compatibility with NMEA 2000 equipment from other manufacturers, such as Garmin or Raymarine, while being a key component for CZone installations.

Reliability in Marine Environments

Its IP68 rating guarantees total waterproofing, allowing immersion up to 1 metre, which is critical for the reliability of onboard networks. The yellow couplers facilitate identification as a backbone cable, simplifying the installation process. This cable is a fundamental component for establishing a stable and long-lasting NMEA 2000 network, supporting the integration of various CZone modules for simplified electrical management.

« NMEA 2000 backbone cable CZone 5m: the backbone of your network »

The CZone 5-meter NMEA 2000 backbone cable (ref. 80-911-0024-00) is a fundamental component for structuring a high-performance NMEA 2000 network. Its key feature is its low-voltage-drop design, critical for installations where multiple devices draw power via the network. Unlike thinner drop cables, this backbone cable is sized to efficiently carry both power and data on the main line, preventing voltage drops that could impair the performance or stability of connected devices, particularly multifunction displays or CZone management modules. For optimal installation, it is essential to clearly distinguish backbone cables (yellow couplers for CZone) from drop cables, the latter being intended for individual connections to devices. Using a cable of this type is recommended for medium to large vessels requiring significant NMEA 2000 network expansion, where distances between T-connectors can cause signal loss if lower-quality cables are used. It is critical to plan the network topology with total length and number of devices in mind to avoid overload or signal degradation. While NMEA 2000 is a standard, integrating specific cables like those from CZone ensures perfect synergy with the brand’s digital switching modules, providing centralized and simplified electrical management. This cable is not suitable for short direct links between a device and a T-connector, a role reserved for drop cables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the main function of this NMEA 2000 CZone backbone cable?

This 5-meter NMEA 2000 CZone backbone cable is designed to create the backbone of an NMEA 2000 network on board your boat. It ensures reliable data and power transmission between connected devices, minimizing voltage drop over the cable length.

What is the length of this NMEA 2000 CZone backbone cable?

This NMEA 2000 CZone backbone cable is 5 meters long.

What materials are the connectors of this cable made of?

The connectors on this CZone backbone cable are made with pins and sockets in gold-plated copper alloy. This material choice ensures optimal conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance, essential in a marine environment.

What is the composition of the outer jacket of the cable?

The outer jacket of this backbone cable is made of PVC. This robust and durable material provides resistance suited to the demanding conditions of the marine environment.

Why is it important that this be a "backbone" cable rather than a drop cable?

A backbone cable is specifically designed to form the backbone of the NMEA 2000 network, carrying both data and power over longer distances with minimal voltage drop. It uses large-gauge power conductors (18 AWG) to ensure stable voltage. Drop cables, which are shorter, are used to connect individual devices to the backbone and do not have the same power management requirements.

What is the conductor gauge of this cable?

This backbone cable incorporates large-gauge 18 AWG power conductors. This gauge is critical for maintaining stable voltage and minimizing voltage drop over the cable length, ensuring proper operation of all connected NMEA 2000 devices.

What is the color of the couplers and why?

The couplers on this cable are yellow. This color identifies the cable as part of the NMEA 2000 backbone, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Is this cable compatible with other NMEA 2000 equipment besides CZone?

Yes, this cable is NMEA 2000-certified and offers universal compatibility with NMEA 2000 equipment from other manufacturers. You can use it with devices from brands such as Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, Lowrance, and many others, as long as they comply with the NMEA 2000 standard.

Can I use this cable with an NMEA 0183 network?

No, this cable is specifically designed for NMEA 2000 networks and is not compatible with NMEA 0183 systems. The two standards use different protocols and connectors.

Is this cable compatible with Micro-C NMEA 2000 connectors?

Yes, standard NMEA 2000 backbone cables like this one typically use Micro-C connectors, which are the most common format for NMEA 2000 networks on recreational boats. It is therefore compatible with Micro-C connectors.

How to install this cable in an NMEA 2000 network?

This cable must be used as a section of your NMEA 2000 backbone. It connects to other backbone cables, T-connectors, or network terminations. Ensure the network is properly powered and terminated at each end with termination resistors for optimal operation.

Can the cable be submerged in water?

Yes, this cable has an IP68 rating, ensuring complete waterproofing and allowing submersion up to 1 meter deep. This feature is critical for reliable network performance in marine environments.

Are specific tools required to connect this cable?

No, this cable uses standard NMEA 2000 connectors that screw on by hand to T-connectors or other network components. No specific tools are generally required for basic connections.

Can I cut this cable to adjust its length?

It is not recommended to cut pre-assembled NMEA 2000 backbone cables. This would void the certification, compromise waterproofing, and could affect data and power transmission. It is better to use standard-length cables suited to your needs or to use connectors and bulk cables for custom installations by a professional.

Is this cable resistant to marine environmental conditions?

Yes, this cable is designed with a robust and durable outer PVC jacket, providing resistance suitable for demanding marine environments. Its IP68 rating also ensures total waterproofing.

How to identify a backbone cable versus a spur cable?

This CZone backbone cable is identifiable by its yellow couplers. Additionally, backbone cables are generally thicker than spur cables due to their larger-gauge power conductors (18 AWG) required to carry power over the length of the network.

Is this product covered by a warranty?

Yes, this CZone NMEA 2000 backbone cable is covered by the manufacturer’s standard warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and materials, ensuring product quality and reliability.
