Raymarine SeaTalk NG Elbow Spur Cable

Overview

The Raymarine SeaTalk NG Elbow Spur Cable is a short network cable for connecting Raymarine SeaTalk NG devices to a SeaTalk NG backbone where rear clearance is limited. It is offered in two verified layouts: a 400 mm elbow-to-elbow cable and a 1 m elbow-to-straight cable.

The right-angle connector layout helps reduce strain behind instruments, displays, autopilot controllers, and other SeaTalk NG equipment mounted in shallow consoles, instrument pods, bulkheads, or helm panels. Instead of forcing a straight plug into a tight space, the elbow connection lets the cable turn close to the device and route more cleanly behind the panel.

Key features

• SeaTalk NG spur cable for linking an individual Raymarine network device to the SeaTalk NG backbone.
• Right-angle connector configuration supports cleaner cable routing where space behind the instrument is shallow.
• Useful for helm stations, cockpit instrument pods, bulkhead-mounted displays, and other areas with limited rear access.
• Available in 400 mm and 1 m lengths to match short in-panel runs or a slightly longer route to the nearest backbone connection point.
• Works as part of a SeaTalk NG installation with the appropriate backbone connection hardware, such as a T-piece or 5-way connector.

Variants

This Raymarine SeaTalk NG elbow spur cable is offered in two configurations. The connector layout and cable length change between variants, while both versions serve the same basic role as spur cables in a SeaTalk NG network.

The 400 mm option keeps both ends low-profile with elbow connectors. The 1 m option uses an elbow connector at one end and a straight connector at the other, giving more reach when the device and backbone connection are not immediately next to each other.

• A06042: Elbow to elbow connector configuration, 400 mm cable length. This version suits tight installations where both connection points benefit from a right-angle cable exit.
• A06081: Elbow to straight connector configuration, 1 m cable length. This version keeps one end low-profile at the device while allowing a standard straight connection at the other end.

Installation and setup

Use this cable as a spur, not as the main backbone run. In a typical SeaTalk NG layout, the spur connects the instrument or device to the backbone through the correct SeaTalk NG connection point. The short length helps keep the network tidy behind the dash and reduces excess cable that would otherwise need to be coiled or tied back.

Check the rear clearance of the device before choosing the configuration. An elbow connector is most helpful where a straight plug would press against a panel, pod wall, or nearby wiring. Route the cable so it is not pulled tight and so the connector is not carrying the weight of the harness.

Compatibility and fit

This cable is intended for Raymarine SeaTalk NG network installations. It is a practical match for boat owners, installers, and refit projects that need a short spur connection behind marine electronics at the helm, in the cockpit, or at an instrument station.
