Cablu magistrală/derivație NMEA 2000 (2 m)

This cable is a fundamental component for Garmin NMEA 2000 marine network architecture. It is designed to extend the main backbone or to connect individual devices to the network (drop cable).

This specific cable (reference 010-11076-00) has a length of 2 meters (6.5 feet).

This cable uses male-female micro-connectors. These connectors are compatible with all NMEA 2000-certified equipment using micro-connectors.

Yes, a NMEA 2000 cable with a length of 6 meters (20 feet) or less, such as this 2-meter model, can be used interchangeably as a backbone cable to extend the main network or as a drop cable to connect a device to a T-connector.

NMEA 2000 is a plug-and-play communication standard used to connect marine sensors and display devices on board vessels. It is considered the successor to the NMEA 0183 serial data bus.

The Garmin reference for this cable is 010-11076-00.

Yes, the Garmin NMEA 2000 accessory range also includes cables of 0.3 m, 4 m, 6 m, 10 m, and 30 m (on reel). Note that cables longer than 6 meters (20 feet) can only be used as backbone cables.

This cable is compatible with all NMEA 2000-certified equipment using micro-connectors, as well as other NMEA 2000-compatible micro-connectors, cables, and devices.

No, NMEA 2000 is the successor to the NMEA 0183 standard. This cable is specifically designed for NMEA 2000 networks and is not directly compatible with NMEA 0183 systems without an appropriate protocol converter.

Yes, Garmin uses NMEA 2000 micro-connectors which are compatible with other NMEA 2000-certified micro-connectors, cables, and devices.

An NMEA 2000 network must be connected to a 12 V DC power source. NMEA 2000 devices must operate within a 9 to 16 V DC range, with a nominal voltage of 12 V DC.

To connect a device to the NMEA 2000 backbone using this cable as a drop cable, it must plug into the top of a T-connector. If you use this cable to extend the main backbone, it must connect to the sides of two T-connectors to maintain a linear network structure.

Yes, a cable up to 6 meters (20 feet) long, such as this 2-meter model, can be used as a backbone cable to extend the main NMEA 2000 network.

Drop cables are limited to a maximum length of 6 meters (20 feet).

The maximum length of a single NMEA 2000 backbone cable is 100 meters (328 feet).

Yes, you must install terminators at both ends of the NMEA 2000 backbone. Proper termination is required to ensure signal integrity across the entire backbone and guarantee the network functions correctly.

The dedicated NMEA 2000 power cable must connect to the top of a T-connector, not the side. It can be connected to a T-connector located at either end of the backbone or in the middle, depending on the backbone length and the power requirements of network devices.

No, you must connect the NMEA 2000 network to the power supply via the ignition switch or another external switch. A direct connection to the battery could drain it when the system is not in use, as some NMEA 2000 devices remain powered at all times if power is present.

A T-connector is a three-way connector with one male micro-connector and two female micro-connectors. It is used to connect a NMEA 2000 device to the main backbone of the network, or to connect the power cable.

The resistance value of the Garmin NMEA 2000 cable is 0.053 ohms per meter. This value is used to calculate voltage drop in the NMEA 2000 network and thus properly plan power distribution.
