Raymarine SeaTalk NG 5-Way Connector, 3 Spur Ports, 2 Backbone Ports

Overview

The Raymarine A06064 is a SeaTalk NG 5-way connector used to bring up to three white spur connections into one point on a Raymarine marine electronics backbone. It has two blue backbone ports and three white spur ports, so it can sit inline on the backbone while displays, instruments, sensors, or other compatible SeaTalk NG devices connect through spur cables.

This connector is a practical way to keep a helm, nav station, or electronics locker tidy when several devices need to join the network near the same location. The blue backbone ports can pass the network through to another part of the boat, or accept terminators when the connector is being used at the end of a completed backbone.

Key features

• Five SeaTalk NG connection points in one block: two blue backbone ports and three white spur ports.
• Creates up to three spur drops for compatible SeaTalk NG devices without adding several separate T-connectors in the same area.
• Works as part of the SeaTalk NG backbone layout, with the blue ports used for backbone cable pass-through or network termination.
• Helps organize cable runs behind a helm, under a console, or inside an electronics locker where several instruments connect close together.
• Supports clean service access because related spur connections can be grouped in one visible junction point.
• Unused sockets should be capped or terminated as required so the network remains protected and correctly completed.

Installation and setup

Place the connector where the connected devices can reach it with the correct SeaTalk NG spur cable lengths while keeping the backbone run logical and easy to inspect. The blue ports are for the backbone side of the network, and the white ports are for spur connections to individual devices.

When it is used at the end of a SeaTalk NG backbone, the unused blue backbone port can accept a terminator to complete the circuit. Any open sockets should be closed with the proper caps or plugs rather than left exposed in a damp locker or behind a splash-prone helm.

Compatibility and fit

This connector belongs in Raymarine SeaTalk NG networks and is commonly used with compatible Raymarine displays, instruments, sensors, and autopilot components that connect to the backbone through spur cables. It is most useful when several nearby devices need a shared connection point rather than being spread across separate backbone T-pieces.

Use cases on board

It suits refits and new electronics installs where the network needs to grow without turning the helm wiring into a loose chain of connectors. On cruising boats, fishing boats, and sailboats, it is especially useful around the chartplotter, instrument displays, pilot controller, or data converter area where multiple SeaTalk NG devices are often grouped together.
