SeaTalk NG paigalduskomplekt (2xA06031, 1xA06037, 2xA06036, 4xA06028, 1xA06049)

The SeaTalk NG Raymarine A25062 installation kit is a complete solution designed to set up or extend a marine instrument network. It provides the essential components to create a reliable SeaTalk NG "backbone", enabling communication and power distribution between compatible Raymarine devices.

Yes, Raymarine’s SeaTalk NG system is based on the NMEA 2000 protocol and is electrically compatible. However, the physical connectors differ. To connect a standard NMEA 2000 device (with Micro-C connector) to a SeaTalk NG network, a specific Raymarine adapter cable is required (not included in this kit).

This kit provides the fundamental components to build the "backbone" and power supply of a SeaTalk NG network. For a complete system, you will also need:

Raymarine devices compatible with SeaTalk NG (displays, sensors, autopilots, etc.)Spur cables to connect each device to the "backbone" via T-connectors. These additional items are not included in the A25062 kit.

A wide range of modern Raymarine devices are designed to connect to a SeaTalk NG network, including:

Multifunction displays (MFD)AutopilotsWind, speed, and depth sensorsGPS modulesFishfindersData instruments (i70, i50, i60)Always check the SeaTalk NG compatibility on the technical datasheet of each Raymarine device.

Yes, it is possible to connect older-generation SeaTalk devices to a SeaTalk NG network, but this requires a SeaTalk to SeaTalk NG converter (e.g., the Raymarine A06061). This converter acts as a bridge, translating data between the two protocols. The converter is not included in this installation kit.

The SeaTalk NG backbone must be built as a continuous line. You will use the 1-meter (A06036) and 5-meter (A06049) backbone cables to form this line. T-connectors (A06031) will be inserted along this line to allow devices to be connected. End caps (A06028) must be placed at both physical ends of the backbone to ensure proper termination.

Yes, this kit is fully suitable for extending an existing SeaTalk NG network. The additional backbone cables and T-connectors will allow you to lengthen your backbone or add new connection points for additional devices. Remember to maintain proper termination at both ends of the extended network.

Installing SeaTalk NG components is generally "plug-and-play" and does not require specific tools for cable and connector connections. Connections are hand-tightened. However, you may need basic tools for physically installing cables and devices on your boat (drill, screwdriver, cable ties, etc.) and for connecting the power cable.

No, SeaTalk NG backbone cables are pre-assembled with molded connectors. They must not be cut or modified. If you require specific lengths, use cables of the appropriate length available from Raymarine or combine standard lengths provided in the kit to achieve the desired distance.

The kit provides components for the Raymarine SeaTalk NG network. While SeaTalk NG is electrically compatible with NMEA 2000, the connectors are proprietary to Raymarine. To connect other brands' NMEA 2000 products (with standard Micro-C connectors) to the SeaTalk NG network created with this kit, you will need NMEA 2000 to SeaTalk NG adapter cables sold separately.

The A25062 kit can be used both as a starter kit for a new small SeaTalk NG network, or as an expansion kit to add "backbone" sections and connection points to an existing network. Its versatility makes it a practical choice for various configurations.

The supplied power cable (A06037) is designed to power the 'backbone'. It is crucial to ensure that your 12V DC power source can provide the total current required by all devices connected to the network. Each device has a specific current consumption; these consumptions must be summed to correctly size the power supply and circuit protection (fuse).

No, this SeaTalk NG A25062 installation kit contains the parts to build the main network "backbone". The spur cables (also called "spur cables") that connect each individual device (such as a display or sensor) to the T-connectors on the "backbone" are not included and must be purchased separately based on your installation requirements.

SeaTalk NG is a modern network protocol based on NMEA 2000, offering higher communication speeds and greater capacity for complex systems. SeaTalk 1 is an older, slower protocol, typically used for simpler systems and older instruments. While both are Raymarine protocols, they are not directly compatible and require a converter to interact (e.g., the SeaTalk to SeaTalk NG converter A06061).
