Overview

The Garmin 010-11076-03CASE is a 1 ft (0.3 m) NMEA 2000 backbone/drop cable packaged as a case of 10 for building and extending an NMEA 2000 network on board. It works as a short backbone jumper between adjacent T-connectors, or as a short drop from a T-connector to a device mounted close by.

The 0.3 m length is useful when space is tight behind a helm, inside a network cabinet, or anywhere you want to avoid coiling extra cable that can get snagged during service. The connectors are NMEA 2000 micro style, so it mates with Garmin NMEA 2000 components and other networks that use micro connectors.

Key features

• 1 ft (0.3 m) cable length for close spacing between T-connectors or a nearby device connection
• Backbone/drop cable format for NMEA 2000 network builds and expansions
• NMEA 2000 micro connectors for compatibility with Garmin NMEA 2000 components and other micro-connector networks
• Supports standard NMEA 2000 cable-length rules for drop runs (up to 6 m); this cable stays well within that limit
• Case pack quantity of 10 for rigging multiple stations or keeping matching spares on board

What’s included

• 10 x NMEA 2000 backbone/drop cables, 1 ft (0.3 m) each

Installation and setup

Use this cable wherever you need a clean, short connection in the network: between two T-connectors to extend the backbone a small distance, or from the top of a T-connector to a device that sits close to the backbone. Route the cable so the connector ends are not supporting weight, then secure the run so it cannot vibrate against sharp edges or hot surfaces.

As with any NMEA 2000 installation, the backbone must remain linear and be terminated at both ends. Make sure the network is powered correctly through a dedicated NMEA 2000 power connection and that the power source is 12 Vdc as required for NMEA 2000 networks.

Compatibility and fit

This cable uses NMEA 2000 micro connectors. If your existing backbone uses NMEA 2000 mini connectors, you will need an appropriate adapter between the mini backbone and micro-connector components before this cable can be used in that section of the network.

Use on board

This case pack is a practical fit for installers and DIY owners wiring several T-connector drops at a helm, adding multiple sensors in one area, or building a tidy backbone run with minimal slack inside a console or equipment locker.
