Cablu magistrală/derivare NMEA 2000 (6m)

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

This cable uses standard NMEA 2000 micro-connectors. They are compatible with other NMEA 2000-certified micro-connectors, cables, and devices.

This cable is an essential component for establishing and extending marine NMEA 2000 communication networks. It can be used as a backbone cable to extend the network's main bus, or as a drop cable to connect individual devices (sensors, multifunction displays, marine instruments) to the network via a T-connector.

Yes, a cable up to 6 meters (20 feet) long can be used as either a backbone cable or a drop cable. This 6-meter cable is therefore versatile.

The part number for this cable is 010-11076-01.

Yes, as part of Garmin’s NMEA 2000 network, this cable is specifically designed for marine environments, ensuring reliable connectivity for marine sensors and devices.

To connect this cable to your NMEA 2000 network, you must use a T-connector. The drop cables and network power cables must connect to the top of a T-connector, never to the sides. The backbone cables connect to the sides of the T-connectors.

NMEA 2000 drop cables are limited to a maximum length of 6 meters (20 feet). This 6-meter cable complies with this limit.

You must install terminators at both ends of the NMEA 2000 backbone. Correct termination is essential to ensure signal integrity across the entire backbone length.

The NMEA 2000 network must be powered by a 12 Vdc DC power source via a dedicated NMEA 2000 power cable. It is recommended to connect it through the ignition or another external switch to avoid draining the boat’s battery. The power cable must connect to the top of a T-connector.

Yes, the linear construction of the backbone is extremely important. A poorly constructed backbone can prevent the network from functioning correctly or lead to unexpected performance issues. All T-connectors must be connected to each other on their sides, either directly or via a backbone cable.

No, every NMEA 2000 device must be connected to the backbone using a T-connector. The top port of a T-connector is used only to connect a device or power to the network.

Using a cable longer than 6 meters (20 feet) as a drop cable does not comply with NMEA 2000 specifications and may cause network malfunctions. Cables longer than 6 meters are reserved solely for backbone extension.

It is not recommended to connect a NMEA 2000 network to power at more than one location without using a power isolator between the two connections. Some NMEA 2000 devices may also supply power to the network, which may require an isolator.

It is recommended to start by creating a detailed diagram of your network. This diagram should include all devices to be connected, their approximate location, distances between devices and the backbone, the total length of the backbone, and the electrical load (LEN) of each device. This allows proper application of NMEA 2000 network construction principles.

Yes, NMEA 2000 is a plug-and-play communication standard. This cable is designed to integrate seamlessly with the Garmin ecosystem and other NMEA 2000 certified devices, provided they use standard NMEA 2000 micro-connectors.

This cable uses the NMEA 2000 communication standard, which is a plug-and-play standard for connecting marine sensors and display devices aboard vessels.

No, this cable is designed for the NMEA 2000 standard. NMEA 2000 is considered the successor to the NMEA 0183 serial data bus and uses a different communication protocol with specific connectors.

This cable can be used to connect a wide range of NMEA 2000 certified marine devices, such as sensors (wind, depth, speed), multifunction displays (MFD), chartplotters, marine instruments, GPS or satellite antennas, and other network-compatible equipment.

No, some NMEA 2000 devices or sensors may be powered by the network, while others may require a separate power connection. It is important to consult the installation instructions for each device to ensure it is powered appropriately.
