Kabel SeaTalk NG, grana, 1 metar

This cable, called a spur cable, is used to connect an individual device, such as an instrument display, a sensor, or a GPS antenna, to the main backbone of your Raymarine SeaTalk NG network.

This SeaTalk NG branch cable, part number A06039, measures exactly 1 meter in length.

The SeaTalk NG network is based on the NMEA 2000 protocol, so the data is compatible. However, the physical connectors are proprietary to Raymarine. To connect this cable to a device or an NMEA 2000 network with standard connectors (DeviceNet), you will need a specific adapter cable.

This branch cable must be connected to a free port on a T-connector (T-piece) or a 5-way junction block that is itself installed on the backbone of your SeaTalk NG network. The other end connects directly to your instrument or sensor.

The difference lies in their function and color:

Spur cables (white connectors), like this one, connect an individual device to the backbone.Backbone cables (blue connectors) form the backbone of the network, linking the various connection points (T-pieces) together.This color distinction is designed by Raymarine to prevent wiring errors.

Yes, the A06039 branch cable provides both data transfer and electrical power to the connected device, directly from the SeaTalk NG backbone.

You can connect equipment from other brands certified for NMEA 2000 to a SeaTalk NG network. However, you will need an adapter cable to convert from the proprietary SeaTalk NG connector to the standard NMEA 2000 (DeviceNet) connector of the other device.

No, cutting or modifying SeaTalk NG cables is strongly discouraged. This would compromise waterproofing, shielding, and connection reliability, potentially causing malfunctions across your entire navigation network.

No, this cable is not directly compatible with SeaTalk1 or SeaTalk2 networks. To integrate devices from these older generations into a SeaTalk NG network, you must use a specific Raymarine conversion gateway.

Yes, the connectors feature a quarter-turn locking ring that ensures a highly secure connection, resistant to vibration and shock, which is essential for the reliability of electronic systems aboard a boat.

No, no specific tools are required. The installation is designed to be straightforward (plug-and-play). The connectors screw in and lock by hand thanks to their quarter-turn ring.

You can connect any Raymarine device equipped with a SeaTalk NG port. This includes, for example:

Instrument displays (i50, i60, i70s) GPS antennas Wind sensors, depth sounders, speed loggers Autopilots Multifunction displays

The manufacturer reference for this 1-meter SeaTalk NG branch cable is A06039.

No, this is not its purpose. This drop cable (white connectors) is designed to connect a device to the backbone. To join two backbone segments, you must use a backbone cable (blue connectors).

The color-coding system (white for spur, blue for backbone) is designed to prevent this. Using a spur cable to extend the backbone can cause communication and power issues on your network. It is imperative to respect the network architecture by using each cable for its designated function.

SeaTalk NG (Next Generation) is Raymarine's proprietary network protocol. It is based on the NMEA 2000 standard but uses a specific, more robust and watertight connector designed for the marine environment.

No, it is not recommended to connect multiple branch cables in series. If you need a length greater than 1 meter, it is better to use a single branch cable of the appropriate length, such as the 3-meter model (A06040), to ensure signal integrity and network reliability.

The connectors are white to clearly identify this cable as a spur cable. In the Raymarine SeaTalk NG system, backbone cables have blue connectors, making it easy to differentiate components and prevent assembly errors.

Yes, absolutely. Raymarine's SeaTalk NG connectivity system, including this cable, has been specifically developed to provide superior robustness and waterproofing, perfectly suited to the demanding conditions of the marine environment.

The weight of this cable is 0.1 kg.
