NMEA 2000 selgrookabel 6 m

This cable serves as the main backbone line for your NMEA 2000 network. It enables bidirectional data transmission and power supply between your marine equipment (displays, sensors, autopilots).

This cable is exactly 6 meters long, making it an ideal solution for connecting distant areas on mid-sized boats, such as the helm console and the engine compartment.

Yes, being manufactured by Navico, this cable is fully compatible and optimized for the ecosystems of Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G brands.

Absolutely. This cable complies with the NMEA 2000 standard (Micro-C), making it universally compatible with any NMEA 2000-certified marine equipment, regardless of the brand of your electronics.

Yes, the Micro-C connectors on this Navico cable are designed to provide perfect watertightness, ensuring a reliable connection even in damp marine environments.

The backbone (backbone) is the main artery of the network running through the boat. A drop cable (drop cable) is typically shorter and connects a specific device to this main artery via a T-connector.

Yes, to connect devices to this backbone, you must absolutely use T-connectors. This 6-meter cable will typically connect two T-connectors together, or a connector and a network terminator.

Cutting or modifying an NMEA 2000 cable is strongly discouraged. This would compromise the waterproofing of the connectors, degrade the shielding, and could cause data loss across your entire navigation network.

Although the connectors are identical, the NMEA 2000 standard limits the maximum length of a drop cable to 6 meters. It is therefore at the absolute limit for this use, but it remains primarily designed to extend the backbone.

Yes, the NMEA 2000 standard specifies that the cable carries both digital data between devices and the 12V power supply required for small sensors and antennas on the network.

No, this product includes only the 6-metre cable. The 120-ohm terminations, essential at both ends of the backbone to prevent network errors, are sold separately or included in starter kits.

Simply screw one end of this cable onto a T-connector in your current network. The other end can accept another T-connector to add new equipment further along the boat.

No, this cable is fitted with Micro-C connectors specific to NMEA 2000. NMEA 0183 uses a different bare-wire cabling system. To bridge the two networks, a dedicated NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 converter is required.

This cable is equipped with standard 5-pin Micro-C connectors (one male and one female), which is the universal format adopted for NMEA 2000 networks on recreational boats.

A 6-meter length is ideal for creating a link between two distant areas of your vessel, for example:

Between the helm console and the engine compartment.Between the cabin and the mast foot.

Generally no. Depth sounders (fishfinders) often use proprietary connectors specific to the brand. This cable is only used to connect devices communicating via the NMEA 2000 network protocol.

You must respect a minimum bend radius when routing the cable through bulkheads. Excessive bending can break internal wires or damage the shielding, which will cause communication errors on the network.

No, installation is done entirely by hand. The sealing rings on Micro-C connectors are designed to be hand-tightened to ensure waterproofing, without using pliers that could damage the plastic threading.

Yes, the jacket of this cable and its connectors are designed to withstand marine conditions, including UV exposure and water spray. It can therefore run outdoors or in damp areas of the boat.

Yes, you can screw two backbone cables together to extend the length of your NMEA 2000 backbone. Just ensure the total length of your NMEA 2000 backbone does not exceed the 100-metre maximum for a Micro-C network.
