Kabel SeaTalk NG 5 m

The Raymarine A06041 cable is a 5-metre spur cable designed specifically for the Raymarine SeaTalk NG network ecosystem. It is a fundamental component for connecting your navigation devices to the backbone of your SeaTalk NG network, ensuring stable and fast data communication between various Raymarine devices.

The main function of this cable is to connect the major components of your SeaTalk NG network, forming the "backbone" of the system. It ensures data transmission between multifunction displays, autopilots, sensors, and other connected Raymarine instruments.

The Raymarine A06041 cable is specifically a spur cable. In the SeaTalk NG system, backbone cables are used to create the main backbone of the network, while spur cables connect individual devices to the backbone.

This SeaTalk NG backbone cable is blue. In Raymarine's SeaTalk NG system, a color code is used to simplify installation:

Backbone cables are blue. Spur cables are white. Power cables are red.

Yes, the SeaTalk NG data protocol is based on the NMEA 2000 standard and is compatible with it. This means data can be exchanged between the two systems. However, the physical connectors are proprietary to Raymarine and differ from the standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C connectors.

No, you cannot directly connect NMEA 2000 devices from other brands with this cable. While the data protocol is NMEA 2000-compatible, the physical connectors of SeaTalk NG are proprietary to Raymarine. To integrate non-Raymarine devices into a SeaTalk NG network, a SeaTalk NG to NMEA 2000 adapter cable is required.

No, this cable uses Raymarine’s proprietary connectors for the SeaTalk NG system. These connectors differ from the standard Micro-C connectors commonly used by other brands for NMEA 2000 networks. An adapter is required to connect to devices using standard Micro-C connectors.

No, this cable is specifically designed for the SeaTalk NG network. It is not directly compatible with older Raymarine SeaTalk1 systems. To connect SeaTalk1 devices to a SeaTalk NG network, a SeaTalk1 to SeaTalk NG converter is required.

This cable can be used to connect a wide range of Raymarine devices compatible with SeaTalk NG, such as:

Multifunction displays (MFD)AutopilotsSensors (wind, depth, speed, temperature)Navigation instrumentsThis is a spur cable that allows these components to be connected to the backbone of the network.

This cable is a SeaTalk NG spur cable. It connects to T-connectors or backbone junction blocks. Installation is plug-and-play thanks to coded connectors, ensuring a secure and watertight connection. Plan the cable routing carefully to avoid interference and physical damage.

It is not recommended to cut SeaTalk NG cables to adjust their length. These cables are designed with specific impedance and precise terminations to ensure network integrity and optimal performance. Cutting the cable could compromise its shielding, waterproofing, and the reliability of data transmission. It is preferable to use standard-length cables suited to your needs.

No, SeaTalk NG backbone cables do not have a specific installation direction. The connectors are identical at each end, allowing bidirectional connection within the network backbone. The key is to ensure all connections are properly seated and secured.

SeaTalk NG cable connectors are designed to be watertight. To ensure optimal sealing, it is crucial to firmly tighten the locking rings of the connectors after they have been connected. No additional sealing compound is generally required for standard connections, provided they are properly assembled.

Yes, Raymarine SeaTalk NG cables, such as the A06041, are designed with effective shielding to protect the signal from electromagnetic interference (EMI). This shielding is critical for maintaining the integrity and reliability of data transmission in the often complex electrical environment of a boat.

Yes, Raymarine SeaTalk NG cables are specifically designed for the marine environment. They are made with materials resistant to corrosion, UV, salt water, and temperature variations, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance aboard your boat.

SeaTalk NG cables are designed to be sufficiently flexible to facilitate installation and routing through conduits or confined spaces on boats. However, it is important to avoid tight bends that could damage the cable or its internal shielding.

Using Raymarine original cables such as the A06041 ensures several essential aspects for the performance of your SeaTalk NG network:

Correct impedance: Maintaining signal integrity.Effective shielding: Protection against electromagnetic interference.Perfect watertightness: Resistance to the marine environment.Guaranteed compatibility: Seamless integration with other Raymarine equipment.This ensures the reliability and performance of your entire navigation system.

The SeaTalk NG system simplifies installation with its plug-and-play approach and intuitive color coding. Connectors are designed to fit easily and securely, and the cable colors (blue for the backbone, white for branches, red for power) help quickly identify their function, minimizing connection errors.

No, this cable (A06041) is a spur cable. Although the SeaTalk NG network also carries power for connected devices via the backbone, this specific cable is not the dedicated power cable (which is usually red). It connects a device to the backbone (which distributes both data and power), but it is not the main power entry point for the network.
