Cablu magistrală NMEA 2000 6 m

This cable serves as the main backbone for your NMEA 2000 network. It enables bidirectional data transmission and power supply between your marine devices (displays, sensors, autopilots).

This cable is exactly 6 meters long, making it an ideal solution for connecting distant areas on mid-sized boats, such as the helm console and the engine compartment.

Yes, being manufactured by Navico, this cable is fully compatible and optimized for the ecosystems of Simrad, Lowrance, and B&G brands.

Absolutely. This cable complies with the NMEA 2000 (Micro-C) standard, making it universally compatible with any certified NMEA 2000 marine equipment, regardless of the brand of your electronics.

Yes, the Micro-C connectors on this Navico cable are designed to provide perfect watertightness, ensuring a reliable connection even in a damp marine environment.

The backbone constitutes the main artery of the network that runs through the boat. A drop cable is typically shorter and is used to connect a specific device to this main artery via a T-connector.

Yes, to connect devices to this backbone, you must use T-connectors. This 6-meter cable will typically connect two T-connectors together, or a connector to a network termination.

It is strongly inadvisable to cut or modify an NMEA 2000 cable. This would destroy the watertight integrity of the connectors, degrade the shielding, and could cause data loss across your entire navigation network.

Although the connectors are identical, the NMEA 2000 standard limits the maximum length of a drop cable to 6 meters. It is therefore at the absolute limit for this use, but it is primarily designed to extend the backbone (trunk) line.

Yes, the NMEA 2000 standard provides that the cable simultaneously carries digital data between devices and the 12V electrical power required to operate small sensors and antennas on the network.

No, this product includes only the 6-meter cable. The 120-ohm termination caps, required at both ends of the backbone to prevent network errors, are sold separately or included in starter kits.

You only need to screw one end of this cable onto a T-connector in your existing network. The other end can accommodate another T-connector to add new equipment further along the boat.

No, this cable is equipped with Micro-C connectors specific to NMEA 2000. NMEA 0183 uses different bare-wire cabling. To connect the two networks, a specific NMEA 0183 to NMEA 2000 converter is required.

This cable is fitted with standard Micro-C 5-pin connectors (one male and one female connector), which is the universal format adopted for NMEA 2000 networks on recreational boats.

A 6-metre length is ideal for creating a link between two distant areas of your vessel, for example:

Between the helm console and the engine compartment.
Between the cabin and the mast step.

Generally no. Depth sounders (fishfinders) often use brand-specific proprietary connectors. This cable is only used to connect devices communicating via the NMEA 2000 network protocol.

A minimum bending radius must be respected when routing the cable through bulkheads. Excessive bending can break internal wires or damage the shielding, leading to communication errors on the network.

No, installation is entirely done by hand. The Micro-C connector clamp rings are designed to be hand-tightened to ensure waterproofing, without using pliers that could damage the plastic thread.

Yes, the sheath of this cable and its connectors are designed to withstand marine conditions, including UV exposure and water spray. It can therefore run outdoors or in damp areas of the boat.

Yes, you can screw two backbone cables together to extend the length of your main NMEA 2000 backbone. Just ensure that the total length of your NMEA 2000 backbone does not exceed the maximum limit of 100 meters for a Micro-C network.
