SeaTalk NG tagavõrkkaabel 3 m

The 3-meter SeaTalk NG backbone cable, part number A06035, is a critical component for building a Raymarine SeaTalk NG network. It serves as the main backbone line of the network, enabling NMEA 2000 data and power transmission between devices.

This specific SeaTalk NG backbone cable is 3 meters long.

The connectors on this backbone cable are blue. At Raymarine, this color indicates it is a backbone cable (backbone), which forms part of the main network backbone. This distinction is important to differentiate backbone cables from drop cables (white), which connect individual devices to the network, and power cables (red).

The SeaTalk NG backbone cable A06035 is used to create the main line of the SeaTalk NG network. It connects T-connectors, 5-way junction blocks, or terminators, ensuring NMEA 2000 data and electrical power flow across the entire network. It is essential for communication between Raymarine instruments and displays.

The main difference lies in their function and color. Backbone cables (blue, like A06035) form the main backbone of the network and carry both data and power over longer distances. Spur cables (white) are shorter and are used to connect an individual device (a display, a sensor) to a T-connector or junction block on the backbone line.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG backbone cable is designed to carry both NMEA 2000 data and the power supply required for the operation of devices connected to the network. Power is typically injected into the network via a dedicated SeaTalk NG power cable, connected to a T-connector on the backbone.

The weight of this 3-meter SeaTalk NG backbone cable (reference A06035) is approximately 0.14 kg.

Yes, Raymarine SeaTalk NG cables and connectors are designed for marine environments and are water-resistant. They typically feature O-rings and locking systems to ensure watertight and reliable connections, even in harsh conditions.

SeaTalk NG cables are designed to be flexible enough for typical onboard installation while remaining robust enough to withstand the marine environment. The flexibility allows for easier routing through bulkheads and conduits.

The country of manufacture for this SeaTalk NG backbone cable by Raymarine (A06035) is China.

This cable connects to other SeaTalk NG components using the blue connectors. It is typically plugged between T-connectors, 5-way junction blocks, or terminators to form the main backbone line of the network. The connectors are female type and mate with the male connectors of other components.

This cable must be positioned along the main "backbone" of the SeaTalk NG network. It connects central points of the network, such as areas where multiple instruments are linked via T-connectors or junction blocks. Its 3-meter length is ideal for intermediate backbone sections or to connect distant components without requiring very long cables.

Installing SeaTalk NG cables is generally straightforward and does not require specific tools. The connectors are designed to be hand-tightened, ensuring a secure and watertight connection. However, it is always recommended to ensure that connections are properly tightened to prevent water ingress or accidental disconnection.

SeaTalk NG pre-assembled cables such as the A06035 should not be cut or modified. These cables are manufactured with molded connectors and precise specifications to ensure signal integrity and waterproofing. For different lengths, it is best to use Raymarine cables of the appropriate length or crimp connectors to create custom cables if you have the necessary expertise.

To ensure a reliable and watertight connection, it is essential to firmly screw the blue connectors of the cable onto the corresponding ports of other components (T-connectors, junction blocks, terminators). SeaTalk NG connectors are designed with integrated O-rings that compress when tightened to form a watertight seal. Always check that no debris is present in the connectors before connecting.

Yes, using terminators is essential for the proper operation of any SeaTalk NG (and NMEA 2000) network. Two network terminators must be installed, one at each physical end of the backbone line, to prevent signal reflection and ensure stable, error-free communication between devices.

Raymarine's SeaTalk NG system is based on the NMEA2000 protocol. This backbone cable is therefore compatible with NMEA2000 data. However, to directly connect NMEA2000 devices from other brands that use standard Micro-C NMEA2000 connectors, you will need a specific Raymarine SeaTalk NG to NMEA2000 adapter cable (e.g., A06045 or A06046 adapter cable).

No, this SeaTalk NG backbone cable is not directly compatible with older SeaTalk¹ or SeaTalk² networks. SeaTalk NG is a different network architecture based on NMEA2000. To integrate SeaTalk¹ or SeaTalk² devices into a SeaTalk NG network, you will need a specific converter, such as the Raymarine SeaTalk¹ to SeaTalk NG interface (part number E22158).

This cable is compatible with all Raymarine devices equipped with a SeaTalk NG port, which includes most modern navigation equipment from the brand: multifunction displays (MFD), autopilots, instruments, sensors, sounder modules, radars, etc., that use the SeaTalk NG network for communication.

This SeaTalk NG backbone cable is designed for NMEA2000 networks (via SeaTalk NG). It cannot be directly connected to an NMEA0183 adapter. If you need to interface an NMEA0183 device with a SeaTalk NG network, you will need an NMEA0183 to NMEA2000 (or SeaTalk NG) converter to handle protocol conversion.
