Cablu magistrală SeaTalk NG 0.4m

The length of this SeaTalk NG backbone cable is 0.4 meters, i.e., 40 centimeters.

A SeaTalk NG backbone cable is a key component for building or extending your boat's navigation network. It is used to:

Supply power to connected devices.Transfer NMEA 2000 communication data between instruments, sensors, and multifunction displays.Serve as the backbone of the SeaTalk NG network, linking connection blocks or T-connectors.

This SeaTalk NG backbone cable is fitted with female connectors at each end, designed to plug into the male ports of connection blocks or T-connectors on the SeaTalk NG network.

SeaTalk NG backbone cables are identifiable by their distinctive blue color. This color makes them easy to distinguish from spur cables, which are typically white.

The main difference lies in their function within the network:

A backbone cable (like this one) forms the main backbone of the network, carrying power and data over longer distances and supporting the total network load. It connects the T-connector blocks together. A spur cable is shorter and is used to connect an individual device (an instrument, a sensor, an display) to the backbone network via a T-connector.

Yes, this cable is designed to withstand harsh marine environments. Raymarine SeaTalk NG connectors are robust and provide a secure, watertight connection, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection due to vibration or moisture.

This cable weighs approximately 0.03 to 0.05 kilograms.

Yes, this is a Raymarine SeaTalk NG backbone cable, identified by the part number A06033.

Yes, although the cable uses Raymarine's proprietary SeaTalk NG connectors, the underlying communication protocol is based on the NMEA 2000 standard. This means it transmits data in the NMEA 2000 format.

No, not directly. This cable uses Raymarine SeaTalk NG-specific connectors. To connect devices from other brands using standard NMEA 2000 connectors (DeviceNet), you will need a SeaTalk NG to NMEA 2000 (or DeviceNet) adapter.

No, this cable is designed for the SeaTalk NG system, which is based on the NMEA 2000 protocol. It is not directly compatible with older SeaTalk 1 or SeaTalk 2 systems. Specific converters are required to enable communication between these different networks.

This cable can be used to connect all instruments, sensors, multifunction displays (MFD) and other Raymarine devices compatible with the SeaTalk NG network. It is part of the network infrastructure.

No, if all components are standard SeaTalk NG network elements (connection blocks, T-connectors, other backbone cables), this cable connects directly without an adapter thanks to its female connectors.

No, SeaTalk NG connectors are physically different from standard NMEA 2000 (DeviceNet) connectors. To interface a SeaTalk NG network with a NMEA 2000 DeviceNet network, a specific adapter cable (e.g., a SeaTalk NG to NMEA 2000 adapter) is required.

This cable is used to connect SeaTalk NG T-connectors or junction blocks together, forming the main "backbone" of the network. It is placed between two connection points to extend or structure the network.

No, the backbone cable itself does not require a separate power supply. It is part of the SeaTalk NG network, which is powered by a single power source connected to a specific T-connector on the backbone. The cable then carries this power throughout the network.

Yes, you can use multiple backbone cables of different lengths, including this 0.4m cable, to build and extend your SeaTalk NG network backbone. They connect to each other via the T-connector blocks.

No, there is no specific installation direction for this cable. Both ends are fitted with identical female connectors, allowing bidirectional connection between T-connector blocks on the network.

The NMEA 2000 protocol allows all devices connected to the network to communicate with each other, exchange navigation data (GPS, depth sounder, wind, radar, etc.) and share status information. SeaTalk NG is Raymarine's implementation of this protocol, using proprietary connectors.

No, this cable is a backbone cable. It is designed to be part of the network's backbone. To connect a Raymarine instrument to the network, you will need a spur cable that links the instrument to a T-connector on the backbone.
