Kabel SeaTalk NG 5m

The Raymarine A06041 cable is a 5-metre spur cable designed specifically for Raymarine’s SeaTalk NG network ecosystem. It is a fundamental component for connecting your navigation devices to the backbone of your SeaTalk NG network, ensuring stable and fast data communication between various Raymarine devices.

The main function of this cable is to connect the major components of your SeaTalk NG network, forming the backbone of the system. It ensures data transmission between multifunction displays, autopilots, sensors, and other connected Raymarine instruments.

The Raymarine A06041 cable is specifically a spur cable. In the SeaTalk NG system, backbone cables are used to create the main backbone of the network, while spur cables connect individual devices to the backbone.

This SeaTalk NG backbone cable is blue. In Raymarine's SeaTalk NG system, a color code is used to simplify installation:

Backbone cables are blue. Spur cables are white. Power cables are red.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG data protocol is based on the NMEA 2000 standard and is compatible with it. This means data can be exchanged between the two systems. However, the physical connectors are proprietary to Raymarine and differ from the standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C connectors.

No, you cannot directly connect NMEA 2000 devices from other brands with this cable. Although the data protocol is NMEA 2000 compliant, the physical connectors on SeaTalk NG are proprietary to Raymarine. To integrate non-Raymarine devices into a SeaTalk NG network, a SeaTalk NG to NMEA 2000 adapter cable is required.

No, this cable uses Raymarine’s proprietary connectors for the SeaTalk NG system. These connectors differ from the standard Micro-C connectors commonly used by other brands for NMEA 2000 networks. An adapter is required to connect to devices using standard Micro-C connectors.

No, this cable is designed specifically for the SeaTalk NG network. It is not directly compatible with older Raymarine SeaTalk1 systems. To connect SeaTalk1 devices to a SeaTalk NG network, a SeaTalk1 to SeaTalk NG converter is required.

This cable can be used to connect a wide range of Raymarine devices compatible with SeaTalk NG, including:

Multifunction displays (MFD)AutopilotsSensors (wind, depth, speed, temperature)Navigation instrumentsThis is a spur cable that allows these components to be connected to the backbone of the network.

This cable is a SeaTalk NG spur cable. It connects to T-connectors or junction blocks on the backbone. Installation is plug-and-play thanks to coded connectors, ensuring a secure and watertight connection. Plan the cable routing to avoid interference and physical damage.

It is not recommended to cut SeaTalk NG cables to adjust their length. These cables are designed with specific impedance and precise terminations to ensure network integrity and optimal performance. Cutting the cable could compromise its shielding, waterproofing, and the reliability of data transmission. It is better to use standard-length cables suited to your needs.

No, SeaTalk NG backbone cables have no specific installation direction. The connectors are identical at each end, allowing bidirectional connection in the network backbone. The key is to ensure that connections are properly seated and secured.

SeaTalk NG cable connectors are designed to be watertight. To ensure optimal watertightness, it is crucial to firmly screw the locking rings of the connectors after they have been connected. No additional sealing paste is generally required for standard connections, provided they are properly assembled.

Yes, genuine Raymarine SeaTalk NG cables, such as the A06041, are designed with effective shielding to protect the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI). This shielding is critical for maintaining data integrity and reliability in the often complex electrical environment of a boat.

Yes, Raymarine SeaTalk NG cables are specifically designed for marine environments. They are manufactured with materials resistant to corrosion, UV, saltwater, and temperature variations, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance aboard your boat.

SeaTalk NG cables are designed to be sufficiently flexible to facilitate installation and routing through conduits or confined spaces on boats. However, avoid tight bends that could damage the cable or its internal shielding.

Using original Raymarine cables like the A06041 ensures several essential aspects for the performance of your SeaTalk NG network:

Correct impedance: Maintains signal integrity.Effective shielding: Protection against electromagnetic interference.Perfect waterproofing: Resistance to the marine environment.Guaranteed compatibility: Seamless integration with other Raymarine equipment.

This ensures the reliability and performance of your entire navigation system.

The SeaTalk NG system simplifies installation thanks to its plug-and-play approach and intuitive color-coding. The connectors are designed to fit together easily and securely, and the cable colors (blue for the backbone, white for branches, red for power) help quickly identify their function, minimizing connection errors.

No, this cable (A06041) is a spur cable. While the SeaTalk NG network also carries power for connected devices via the backbone, this specific cable is not the dedicated power cable (which is typically red). It connects a device to the backbone (which distributes both data and power), but it is not the main power input point for the network.
