Seatalk NG 0.4m cable

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

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

This cable measures exactly 0.4 metres (40 centimetres). 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 directly connect an instrument, display, or sensor 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 can be tightened 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 plug it in either direction between your device and your T-connector or split block.

It is strongly advised against cutting or modifying a SeaTalk NG cable. This would compromise its waterproofing, void its reliability, and could alter the network's impedance, leading to data loss. Use appropriate cable glands sized for the connectors instead.

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 is a spur cable designed only to connect a single instrument to the network (white connectors). To link two 5-way blocks together, you must use a backbone cable with blue connectors (e.g., A06033).

This cable physically carries data on the SeaTalk NG network. To integrate older SeaTalk 1 generation 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 approximately 100 grams (0.1 kg), which makes 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, specifically designed to be plugged into white connectors on SeaTalk NG T-blocks or power 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 want to extend the main backbone line between two NMEA 2000 backbones, you need a backbone cable (blue). If you want to connect a device (display, sensor) to the main backbone, you need a drop cable (white).

Although the backbone cable carries the 12 V power supply throughout the network, it does not 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). To connect them to your SeaTalk NG backbone, you cannot use this cable directly. You will need a SeaTalk NG to DeviceNet adapter cable (female or male).
