Overview

The Raymarine A06028 is a SeaTalkNG T-piece connector for adding one white spur connection to a blue SeaTalkNG backbone run. It has one white spur connection point and two blue backbone connections, so it can sit in-line on the backbone while linking a compatible display, instrument, sensor, or network power cable.

This is the connector used when a SeaTalkNG network needs one more device drop without changing the basic backbone layout. Multiple T-pieces can be daisy-chained as the network grows, and the lockable, keyed connectors help keep each connection aligned and fully seated when the boat is running in vibration.

Key features

• Creates one white SeaTalkNG spur connection point for a display, instrument, sensor, or network power cable
• Two blue backbone connections let the backbone continue through to the next section of the network
• Matches the Raymarine SeaTalkNG color-coded layout, with white for spur and blue for backbone
• Locking collars and keyed connector alignment help reduce installation errors and help keep connections from backing off
• Supports backbone expansion by allowing multiple T-pieces to be daisy-chained where more spur points are needed

Compatibility and fit

This connector is meant for Raymarine SeaTalkNG cabling and components. It is the right part when the network layout calls for a single extra spur takeoff at a specific point on the backbone, rather than a larger connector block.

On board, that usually means adding another instrument at the helm, bringing a sensor into the network, or placing a network power connection in the correct spot along the backbone. It is a good match for owners and installers building or expanding a SeaTalkNG system on cruising boats, fishing boats, and sailboats where a clean backbone branch matters.

Installation and setup

The white connection is used for the spur side, and the two blue connections stay in the backbone path. The keyed design helps with orientation during install, and the collars rotate to lock once the plug is fully seated.

Because this part becomes a fixed junction in the backbone, it is best placed where the cable run already passes and where future service access still makes sense behind a helm, at a nav station, or in another protected rigging area. It keeps the network layout straightforward when devices are added one connection at a time.
