SeaTalk NG bakrammarakafli Raymarine 5 m

This cable forms the backbone of your SeaTalk NG network. It distributes power and transmits data between all connected devices, such as multifunction displays, autopilots, or sensors.

The backbone cable forms the main line of the NMEA 2000 network and features blue connectors. The spur cable, equipped with white connectors, is used solely to connect a specific instrument to this main line.

No, you cannot plug a device directly into a backbone cable. You must use a T-connector on the backbone, then connect your display using a spur cable.

Yes, the protocol used by SeaTalk NG is identical to NMEA 2000. However, Raymarine connectors are specific, so you will need an adapter cable (DeviceNet to SeaTalk NG) to integrate equipment from other brands.

This cable is fitted with two male connectors at its ends to plug into the female connectors of SeaTalk NG network T-pieces or junction blocks.

Yes, for the network to function properly, each end of the complete backbone line (of which this cable is part) must be terminated with a termination resistor (reference A06031).

No, cutting or modifying this cable is strongly discouraged. Such a modification would destroy its waterproofing, shielding against interference, and prevent a reliable connection with SeaTalk NG connectors.

Yes, you can extend your network by connecting two backbone cables. To do this, you must use a T-connector or a SeaTalk NG connection block between the two cables.

Yes. SeaTalk NG connectors are designed with an O-ring locking system that ensures a waterproof connection (IPx6 rating) and secure fit, suitable for marine environments.

This cable carries power but does not generate it. You must connect a dedicated SeaTalk NG power cable to one of the T-connectors on your backbone network, ideally at the center of the installation to balance the load.

A 5-meter length is generally ideal for connecting areas like the helm and the chart table. For running through a mast (for a wind transducer, for example), a longer backbone cable (such as 9m) or combining multiple cables is often required.

Raymarine uses a color code to simplify installation. Blue indicates this is part of the backbone line. This prevents confusion with spur cables (white) or power cables (red).

No, this cable is specifically designed for the SeaTalk NG (Next Generation) network. To connect older SeaTalk 1 devices, you will need a SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk NG converter.

No, the A06036 backbone cable is bidirectional. You can connect either end to your T-connectors or junction blocks without worrying about a specific direction.

Avoid bending the cable at a right angle. It is important to respect a minimum bend radius to prevent damage to the internal wires and data shielding.

This cable carries all SeaTalk NG network data (NMEA 2000 compatible) along with its 12V power supply. It connects all your instruments: GPS, depth sounder, wind transducer, autopilot, displays, engine data, etc.

Other brands' devices communicate using the same language (NMEA 2000) and can be part of the same network. However, you will need an adapter cable to convert from the SeaTalk NG connector on this cable to the standard Micro-C (DeviceNet) connector used by these devices.

The weight of the 5-meter SeaTalk NG backbone cable (A06036) is negligible for calculating the total load of a boat. It is a very lightweight component of your electronic installation.

Insert the blue connector of the cable into the T-connector socket. Then screw the cable locking ring fully down to lock and seal the connection.

The cable itself does not directly limit the number of devices. It is the number of T-connectors you insert on the backbone and the total electrical consumption of the network (LEN) that will determine the number of possible instruments.
