Kabel (antenna RayStar 130) do sieci Seatalk NG – 6 m

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

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

Yes, absolutely. In the SeaTalk NG architecture, this connection cable serves a dual function: it transmits NMEA 2000 data and carries 12V 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 backbone of the main network. This cable is white because it connects a final device to the network.

Yes, this cable is specifically designed for marine environments. It provides optimal sealing at its connectors and is resistant to UV rays and spray, which is essential for equipment often installed outdoors.

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

Yes, this is a genuine 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.

Absolutely. The cable includes specific shielding to protect it against electromagnetic interference (EMI), thus ensuring clear and lossless transmission of GPS data, even near other electronic equipment.

The communication protocol used by the antenna and the cable is indeed based on the NMEA2000 standard. However, the physical connector is in SeaTalk NG proprietary format. To connect it to a standard NMEA2000 network (DeviceNet Micro-C), a specific adapter cable will be required.

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

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

No, the connectors 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 SeaTalk NG T-connector or 5-way connection block. Tighten the clamping rings to ensure waterproofing.

Cutting this cable is strongly discouraged. Severing it would void the factory waterproofing, could create interference, and compromise the reliability of NMEA 2000 data. It is preferable 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, 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 branch cable must absolutely be connected to the central port, which is white. The blue ports on the sides are reserved for backbone cables or terminators.

During installation, ensure:

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 be working, check the following:

Ensure the global SeaTalk NG backbone 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.
