T-razdjelnik SeaTalk NG

The A06028 T-connector is an essential component for building or extending a Raymarine SeaTalk NG navigation network. It serves as a junction point to add a device, such as a multifunction display or a sensor, to the main backbone of your network.

The connector has a color code for easy installation:

Two blue ports: They are reserved for connecting the backbone cables to ensure network continuity. One white port: It is used to connect the spur cable leading to the device you want to link to the network.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG network is electrically compatible with the NMEA 2000 standard. However, the connectors are physically different. To connect a device from another brand with a standard NMEA 2000 plug (Micro-C), you will need a Raymarine SeaTalk NG to NMEA 2000 adapter cable.

SeaTalk NG is Raymarine's proprietary wiring system based on the NMEA 2000 protocol. It uses specific connectors with a color code and a bayonet locking system to simplify installation and improve reliability in a marine environment. The transmitted data is in NMEA 2000 format.

Yes, the bayonet locking system ensures a robust mechanical connection and perfect watertightness. This protects the electrical contacts from moisture, spray, and corrosion, which is essential for long-term installation in a marine environment.

No, no specific tools are required. Installation is done by hand using the connection and locking system via simple collar tightening.

Yes, this is even the principle behind building a SeaTalk NG backbone. You can chain T-connectors to create as many connection points as needed for your various navigation instruments.

No, this connector is not directly compatible with the SeaTalk1 (or SeaTalkHS) network. To integrate SeaTalk1 devices into a SeaTalk NG network, you must use a specific Raymarine conversion gateway.

The dorsale, or "backbone" in English, is the main line of cables running through the boat, distributing data and power across the entire network. T-connectors are plugged into this backbone to allow individual devices to be connected via branch cables.

The manufacturer reference for this Raymarine SeaTalk NG T-connector is A06028.

No, the T-connector itself does not require a termination plug. However, the entire SeaTalk NG network must have a termination plug (terminator) at each of its two ends to function correctly.

You can connect any device compatible with SeaTalk NG or NMEA 2000 (via an adapter), such as:

A multifunction display (MFD)A GPS antennaAn autopilotA wind, speed, or depth sensorA VHF radio

Yes, the SeaTalk NG network carries both data and 12V DC power. This connector can therefore power connected devices via the splitter cable, within the network's capacity limits.

The weight of this T-connector is approximately 22 g.

No, not directly. The white port is in SeaTalk NG format. To connect a spur cable with a standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C connector, you must use a SeaTalk NG to NMEA 2000 adapter cable.

This is an official Raymarine product, designed specifically for its SeaTalk NG ecosystem.

No, the electrical orientation does not matter. You can install it in the direction that best suits your setup and cable routing, as long as the blue connections are on the backbone and the white ones on the branch.

Yes, as a general rule, every device (display, sensor, etc.) you wish to add to the backbone of your SeaTalk NG network requires its own T-connector to connect.

No, this connector is designed to add a drop line. To extend a backbone, you must use a SeaTalk NG backbone cable of the desired length and a junction connector (I-connector) if needed, or simply a longer cable.

The packaging for product A06028 contains only the SeaTalk NG T-connector. Backbone cables, branch cables, and end caps are sold separately.
