Cablu SeaTalk NG către SeaTalk2

This adapter cable is designed to connect Raymarine equipment using the proprietary SeaTalk2 protocol to a SeaTalkng network. It allows older, but still functional, devices to be integrated into a modern SeaTalkng network architecture, ensuring compatibility and extending the lifespan of your existing equipment.

The A06048 cable is specifically designed to connect Raymarine products equipped with a SeaTalk2 interface. This typically includes older Raymarine navigation instruments, multifunction displays, or autopilots that use this proprietary protocol.

The A06048 cable integrates into your SeaTalkng network by connecting to an available spur port. This is typically done using a SeaTalkng T-connector or a 5-way splitter. The other end of the cable connects directly to the SeaTalk2 port of your Raymarine device.

Yes, it is mandatory to use terminators at both ends of the backbone of your SeaTalkng network to ensure correct data transmission and proper system operation. The A06048 cable itself is a spur and does not require terminators at its ends, but the backbone to which it connects does.

These terms refer to Raymarine’s proprietary communication protocols for interconnecting marine electronics:

SeaTalk (or SeaTalk(1)): Raymarine’s oldest protocol, commonly used for first-generation instruments and autopilots.
SeaTalk2: An evolution of SeaTalk(1), offering increased data capacity and improved communication speeds, used for mid-generation instruments and autopilots.
SeaTalkng (Next Generation): Raymarine’s current protocol, based on the NMEA2000 standard, providing a more robust network architecture with a backbone and drop lines, and better interoperability.
Cable A06048 is specifically designed to connect SeaTalk2 devices to a SeaTalkng network.

SeaTalkng cables and connectors use color coding to simplify installation and prevent wiring errors:

The backbone cables are blue. Spur cables, such as the A06048 cable, are white. Power cables are identifiable by a red stripe.

No, the Raymarine A06048 cable is specifically designed to adapt devices using the proprietary SeaTalk2 protocol to a SeaTalkng network. To connect NMEA2000 devices to a SeaTalkng network, specific NMEA2000 to SeaTalkng adapter cables are required, but the A06048 is not designed for this function.
