SeaTalk NG mugurējais kabelis, 9 metri

A SeaTalk NG backbone cable is the main component of a vessel's data communication network. It forms the backbone of the network, to which all Raymarine instruments and devices compatible with SeaTalk NG are connected via T-connectors and drop cables. It carries both data and power between all connected equipment.

This SeaTalk NG backbone cable (reference A06068) is 9 meters long. This length is designed for installations requiring coverage of significant distances, such as between the helm console and the chart table, or for mast wiring on medium to large boats.

The Raymarine A06068 backbone cable is designed to form the main line of your SeaTalk NG network. It enables connection and communication between various Raymarine navigation devices such as multifunction displays, autopilots, sensors, and AIS receivers by carrying data and electrical power along its entire length.

The backbone cable forms the main continuous line of the SeaTalk NG network, carrying both data and power. Spur cables are shorter and connect each device individually to the backbone via a T-connector. The backbone cable is the 'main route,' while spur cables are the 'access paths' to the devices.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed to withstand the demanding conditions of a marine environment. Its connectors are watertight, and its construction is robust to ensure maximum reliability and durability aboard your boat.

This cable uses Raymarine’s proprietary SeaTalk NG connectors. These are 5-pin bayonet-style connectors designed for secure, watertight, and easy-to-install connections that minimize wiring errors.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG backbone cable can carry both data and power for devices connected to the network. Power is typically injected into the network via a dedicated SeaTalk NG power cable, connected to a T-connector on the backbone.

SeaTalk NG backbone cables, including this model, are typically blue. This color helps distinguish them from spur cables (often black) and makes identification easier during installation and network troubleshooting.

SeaTalk NG backbone cables are designed to be robust while providing sufficient flexibility for practical installation aboard a vessel. However, their diameter is larger than that of spur cables due to the conductors required for the backbone, making them slightly less supple than spur cables.

Raymarine's SeaTalk NG network is based on the NMEA 2000 protocol. While this cable uses proprietary Raymarine connectors, it can be connected to other brands' NMEA 2000 networks using a SeaTalk NG to NMEA 2000 adapter cable (sold separately) or by using NMEA 2000-compatible T-connectors with the appropriate adapters.

No, the SeaTalk NG backbone cable is not directly compatible with older SeaTalk 1 systems. SeaTalk NG is a next-generation protocol based on NMEA 2000, whereas SeaTalk 1 is an older protocol. To connect SeaTalk 1 devices to a SeaTalk NG network, a SeaTalk 1 to SeaTalk NG converter is required (sold separately).

This backbone cable allows connection of all Raymarine devices compatible with SeaTalk NG. This includes:

Multifunction displays (MFD)AutopilotsWind transducersDepth soundersGPS unitsAIS receiversAnd other navigation instruments using the SeaTalk NG protocol.

Yes, this backbone cable is compatible with Raymarine wind sensors that use the SeaTalk NG interface. The wind sensor will connect to the backbone network via a SeaTalk NG T-connector and a SeaTalk NG spur cable.

Yes, Raymarine autopilot systems compatible with SeaTalk NG can be connected to the network via this backbone cable. The autopilot computer and control unit will connect to the backbone network using SeaTalk NG spur cables and T-connectors.

To install this cable, it must be connected to the ends of other SeaTalk NG backbone cables or to SeaTalk NG T-connectors. The backbone cable forms a continuous line, and devices are connected to this line via T-connectors and drop cables. Ensure the network is properly terminated at each end with SeaTalk NG terminators (sold separately).

Yes, this backbone cable is designed to be the backbone of the network. You will need SeaTalk NG T-connectors (not included) to connect devices (via spur cables) and to link other backbone segments. SeaTalk NG terminations (not included) are also required at the ends of the network.

Yes, an SeaTalk NG network, like any NMEA 2000 network, requires terminations at both physical ends of the backbone. These terminations (sold separately) are essential for proper network operation and to prevent signal reflections. This 9-meter cable is a backbone segment, not a termination in itself.

This backbone cable must be positioned to create the main line of the network, linking key areas of your boat where electronic devices are located. For example, it can run from the helm console to the chart table, or from the electrical panel to the various mounting points of instruments, minimizing intermediate connections for better reliability.

Yes, this 9-meter cable can be extended by connecting it to other SeaTalk NG backbone cables of different lengths using SeaTalk NG T-connectors or straight connectors (sold separately). It is important to respect the maximum recommended lengths for the NMEA 2000 backbone to ensure signal integrity.

The backbone cable carries the electrical power. To power the network, a dedicated SeaTalk NG power cable (sold separately) must be connected to the backbone via a SeaTalk NG T-connector. This power cable is then connected to the boat's 12V power source. It is recommended to have only one power source on the backbone.
