Interfacing a SeaTalkng backbone to a third party backbone

Interfacing a SeaTalkng backbone to a third party backbone

For simplicity, it is generally recommended that the NMEA 2000 backbone be constructed from components of a single manufacturer. Spur adapters may then be used to adapt products to be mated to the backbone. Should the backbone be constructed from Raymarine SeaTalkng networking components, then Raymarine offers the following spur adapters to mate third party products as spurs to SeaTalkng spur sockets.
- A06045 / 15.7in (0.4m) SeaTalkng Spur to DeviceNet (F)
- A06075 / 39.4in (1.0m) SeaTalkng Spur to DeviceNet (F)
- A06078 / 3.9in (0.1m) SeaTalkng Spur to DeviceNet (M)
- A06076 / 39.4in (1.0m) SeaTalkng Spur to DeviceNet (M)
- A06046 / 59.1in (1.5m) SeaTalkng Spur to DeviceNet (M)
- A06043 / 3.25ft (1m) SeaTalkng Spur to Stripped End Cable ... to be spliced to third party cable featuring a proprietary plug
- A06044 / 9.75ft (3m) SeaTalkng Spur to Stripped End Cable ... to be spliced to third party cable featuring a proprietary plug

Should one desire to mate a SeaTalkng backbone to an existing third party backbone, then the backbone cables may simply be spliced together. Raymarine's SeaTalkng Backbone Cables have been constructed of leads matching those specified within the NMEA 2000 standard ... click here to view a related FAQ. Should one desire to mate a SeaTalkng backbone to an existing third party backbone which has been constructed of cables terminating in DeviceNet plugs and sockets, then it would be recommended that a field installable DeviceNet (M) or DeviceNet (F) connector (ex. Maretron Micro/Mid Field Attachable Connectors, etc.) be used to replace one of the backbone plugs of a SeaTalkng Backbone Cable.
