Raymarine SeaTalk NG Power Cable, 12V, NMEA 2000, 2m

Overview

The Raymarine SeaTalk NG Power Cable is a 2 m cable for feeding a SeaTalk NG backbone from a 12 V dc switched power supply. It supplies power to the network backbone and the connected SeaTalk NG devices, which makes it a key part of a Raymarine marine electronics installation on cruising boats, fishing boats, and helm upgrades where instruments, sensors, displays, or autopilot components share the same network.

Only one power cable is used per SeaTalk NG network. When the cable is connected at the midpoint of the backbone, it helps feed both halves of the network independently, which is useful on longer runs where equipment is spread between the helm, cabin, mast area, or equipment space.

Key features

• Feeds a Raymarine SeaTalk NG backbone from a 12 V dc switched power supply.
• 2 m length gives practical reach from the backbone connection point to a nearby breaker panel or distribution point.
• Available in straight and right angle connector styles for different mounting clearances behind panels, displays, and network blocks.
• Used as the single power feed for a SeaTalk NG network, helping keep the backbone layout clean and easier to service.
• Midpoint backbone connection can power each half of the network independently when the installation layout calls for it.
• Wiring uses red positive, black negative, and drain connections for integration with the vessel power and grounding arrangement.

Variants

This product is offered in two connector configurations. Both variants are SeaTalk NG power cables with a 2 m length for connection to a 12 V dc supply; the connector orientation is the difference that affects how the cable exits the network connection point.

The straight version suits installations with clear space behind the connector. The right angle version helps where depth is limited, such as behind a helm panel, instrument pod, or electronics cabinet.

• A06049: Straight connector style. This layout lets the cable exit directly from the connection point, which works well where there is enough clearance behind the network component.
• A06070: Right angle connector style. The elbow connector helps reduce rear clearance needs and can make routing cleaner in tighter helm or console spaces.

Installation and setup

Connect the power cable to a switched 12 V dc supply so the SeaTalk NG network powers up with the vessel electronics circuit rather than staying live unnecessarily. The red wire connects to the positive supply and the black wire connects to the negative supply.

A waterproof fuse holder with a 5 A inline fuse is required on the positive wire, and the fuse holder is not included with the cable. The drain wire connects to the vessel RF common ground point when one is available, or to battery negative when that is the appropriate grounding point for the installation.

Compatibility and fit

This cable is for Raymarine SeaTalk NG backbone power connections. It is most relevant when building, extending, or servicing a SeaTalk NG network that supports compatible Raymarine marine electronics. It is not a general radar signal cable, and it should be selected for network power feed use rather than for data extension or antenna connection.

For a tidy installation, check the available space around the backbone connector before selecting the connector style. The right angle version is helpful where the cable needs to turn immediately after the connection, while the straight version is simpler where the cable can run directly away from the connection point.
