Kabel (antena RayStar 130) za SeaTalk NG, 6 metara

The Raymarine A06072 cable is a spur cable designed to connect a RayStar 130 GPS antenna to a SeaTalk NG navigation network. It transmits positioning data to your multifunction displays.

This cable is exactly 6 meters long. This generous length provides excellent flexibility to relocate your GPS antenna to a davit, bimini top, or the coachroof of your boat while connecting to the main network.

Yes, exactly. In a SeaTalk NG architecture, this connection cable performs a dual function: it transmits NMEA 2000 data and carries 12 V electrical power from the backbone network directly to the RayStar 130 antenna.

In the Raymarine system, colors have a precise technical meaning:

White cable: Spur cable used to connect an individual device to the network.Blue cable: Backbone cable forming the main network backbone.This cable is white because it links a final device to the network.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed for marine environments. It provides optimal sealing at its connectors and resists UV rays as well as spray, which is essential for equipment often mounted outdoors.

This cable is fitted with a female connector to the proprietary Raymarine SeaTalk NG standard. It is designed to securely and watertightly plug into the corresponding ports on your equipment.

Yes, this is an original Raymarine part (reference A06072). It is ideal for replacing a damaged cable or for a new installation to keep your RayStar 130 antenna in perfect working order.

Yes. The cable features specific shielding to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring clear and lossless transmission of GPS data, even when near other electronic equipment.

The communication protocol used by the antenna and the cable is based on the NMEA 2000 standard. However, the physical connector is in the proprietary SeaTalk NG format. To connect it to a standard NMEA 2000 network (DeviceNet Micro-C), a specific adapter cable will be required.

No, this is not possible. To connect two connection blocks (multi-terminal blocks or T-connectors) together, you must use a blue backbone cable. This white cable is exclusively for connecting a final device.

Although specifically marketed for the RayStar 130 antenna, this cable is a standard SeaTalk NG extension cable. Technically, it can be used to connect any other Raymarine instrument or sensor compatible with SeaTalk NG to the network.

No, the connector and protocol of this cable are exclusively SeaTalk NG. If you want to integrate your antenna into an older SeaTalk 1 network, you will need a SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk NG converter kit.

Yes, provided your multifunction display is connected to a functional SeaTalk NG network. The GPS data transmitted by the antenna via this cable will be read by all displays in the range (Axiom, eS-Series, c-Series, etc.) on the same network.

Installation is straightforward:

Connect one end to the RayStar 130 antenna. Connect the other end to an available white port on a T-connector or a 5-way connection block in your SeaTalk NG network. Tighten the clamping rings to ensure waterproofing.

It is strongly advised against cutting this cable. Trimming it would void the factory waterproofing, potentially introduce interference, and compromise the reliability of NMEA2000 data. It is better to neatly coil any excess cable in a protected location.

In the SeaTalk NG / NMEA 2000 standard, the maximum allowed length for a spur cable is 6 meters. If the antenna is farther away, you must not extend this cable. Instead, you should extend the blue backbone to bring a T-connector closer to the antenna.

The SeaTalk NG network is designed to be Plug-and-Play. Once the cable is connected and the network is powered, your Raymarine multifunction display should automatically detect the RayStar 130 antenna as a GPS data source. No complex configuration is typically required.

On a SeaTalk NG T-connector, you will find ports of different colors. This spur cable must be connected to the central white port. The blue side ports are reserved for backbone cables or terminators.

During installation, ensure you:

Do not pinch or bend the cable at too sharp an angle.Keep it away from high-power supply cables or VHF antenna cables to avoid interference.Secure the cable with cable ties without over-tightening them.

If the antenna does not appear to function, check the following:

Ensure the global SeaTalk NG network is properly powered at 12V.Check that the cable locking rings are securely tightened.Verify the presence of the two blue termination caps at the ends of your backbone.
