Raymarine SeaTalk 2 to NMEA 2000 Interface Cable, For E-Series Displays, 1.5m, Twist-Lock Connector, 5-Pin Waterproof Connector

Overview

The Raymarine E55053 is a 1.5 m SeaTalk 2 / NMEA 2000 interface cable for connecting Raymarine E-Series displays to SeaTalk 2 or compatible third-party NMEA 2000 devices. It uses a twist-lock connector at the E-Series display end and a standard 5-pin waterproof SeaTalk 2 style connector at the other end, giving installers a direct cable path for mixed Raymarine and NMEA 2000 network layouts.

This cable is useful when maintaining or updating a helm electronics system that still uses E-Series displays but needs to communicate with SeaTalk 2 equipment or NMEA 2000 devices. The 1.5 m length suits short runs behind a console, inside an electronics locker, or near the helm where excess cable would be difficult to manage.

Key features

• 1.5 m cable length for short network connections at the helm or electronics panel.
• Connects Raymarine E-Series displays to Raymarine SeaTalk 2 or compatible third-party NMEA 2000 devices.
• Twist-lock connector at the E-Series display end helps keep the connection secure in areas exposed to vibration and movement.
• Standard 5-pin waterproof SeaTalk 2 style connector at the opposite end for the network-side connection.
• Suited for service work, electronics upgrades, and mixed-network installations on boats using legacy Raymarine displays.

Compatibility and fit

This interface cable is intended for Raymarine E-Series display installations that require a connection into SeaTalk 2 or NMEA 2000 equipment. Before installation, check the connector style and network layout on the vessel, especially on older systems where SeaTalk, SeaTalk 2, SeaTalk NG, and NMEA 2000 components may all be present.

Installation and setup

Route the cable so the connectors are not under strain and avoid tight bends behind the display or network hardware. The short 1.5 m length works best when the display and the network connection point are close together, such as within the same helm station or electronics compartment.

After connecting the cable, confirm that the E-Series display and connected network devices are powered correctly and communicating as expected. This is a data interface cable, so it should be installed as part of a properly planned marine electronics network rather than used as a general power lead.

Use cases on board

This cable is a practical match for boat owners, installers, and service technicians working with Raymarine E-Series displays during electronics repairs, refits, or partial network upgrades. It is especially relevant on cruising boats, fishing boats, and sailboats where existing Raymarine display hardware remains in service alongside SeaTalk 2 or NMEA 2000 equipment.
