NMEA 2000-es gerinc-/elágazó kábel (6 m)

This Garmin cable is an essential component for setting up or extending an NMEA 2000 communication network aboard your boat. It is designed to connect marine sensors and display screens, ensuring reliable communication and "plug-and-play" operation compliant with the NMEA 2000 standard.

This Garmin NMEA 2000 cable is 6 meters long (approximately 20 feet).

A backbone cable is used to extend the main communication path of the NMEA 2000 network, forming the "backbone" of the system. A drop cable, on the other hand, is used to connect an individual NMEA 2000 device to the main bus (the backbone).

This cable uses micro NMEA 2000 connectors. These connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of certified NMEA 2000 devices, sensors, and accessories.

Yes, this cable is designed to comply with the NMEA 2000 communication standard, which is a robust and proven standard for marine electronic networks. It ensures reliable integration of sensors and displays in the nautical environment.

The main function of this cable is to extend the NMEA 2000 network as a backbone cable, or to connect individual devices to the main network as a drop cable. It ensures signal integrity and communication between different marine equipment.

An NMEA 2000 network must be powered by a 12 Vdc direct current source. NMEA 2000 devices must operate within a voltage range of 9 to 16 Vdc.

Yes, NMEA 2000 is a "plug-and-play" communication standard designed to easily and reliably connect marine sensors and displays.

This cable can be used in two ways:

As a backbone cable: It connects to the sides of two T-connectors to extend the main backbone of the network. As a drop cable: It plugs into the top of a T-connector to link an individual NMEA 2000 device to the network. The backbone must always be built in a linear fashion and terminated at both ends for correct operation.

To build a functional NMEA 2000 network, you will need several accessories in addition to this cable, including:

T-connectors to link devices and the power supply to the backbone.
A dedicated NMEA 2000 power cable.
Terminators (male and female) at each end of the backbone.
These components are essential to ensure proper operation and signal integrity of the network.

This cable is supplied in a fixed length of 6 meters. For custom lengths, Garmin offers field-installable connectors that can be used with unterminated cables or to shorten other Garmin NMEA 2000 backbone or drop cables.

The NMEA 2000 network power supply must be connected to a 12 Vdc source via a dedicated NMEA 2000 power cable. This power cable must connect to the top of a T-connector, not the side. It is strongly recommended to connect it through a switch (e.g., the ignition switch or an auxiliary switch) to prevent draining the boat's battery when the system is not in use.

Yes, terminating resistors are mandatory. An NMEA 2000 network must have a 120-ohm terminator at each end of the backbone to ensure signal integrity across the entire network and guarantee its proper operation.

The maximum length for an NMEA 2000 drop cable is 6 meters (20 feet). This 6-meter cable can therefore be used as a drop cable.

The maximum length of a single NMEA 2000 backbone cable is 100 meters (328 feet). This 6-meter cable can be used as a backbone segment, but longer cables are available for extensive backbone extensions.

For a correct NMEA 2000 backbone construction, all T-connectors must be connected to each other on their sides, either directly or via a backbone cable. The backbone must always be linear and terminated at both ends. Devices and power supply connect only to the top of the T-connectors.

It is recommended to power the NMEA 2000 network at only one point. If you must have two power connections, you must use a power isolator between the two connections to prevent overload or ground loop issues.

Yes, the NMEA 2000 standard is designed to be interoperable. This cable is compatible with other micro NMEA 2000 connectors and certified NMEA 2000 devices, regardless of brand, as long as they comply with the standard.

This cable is compatible with a wide range of Garmin devices certified for NMEA 2000, including AIS transponders, autopilots, marine instruments, sensors, and multifunction displays (MFDs) that use the NMEA 2000 network.

No, NMEA 2000 is a distinct communication standard and considered the successor to NMEA 0183. This cable is not directly compatible with NMEA 0183 systems. Specific gateways or converters are required to enable communication between NMEA 0183 devices and a NMEA 2000 network.
