Overview

The Simrad 000-14464-001 is a 2 m power cable for the NAC-1 or NAC-2 autopilot computer.

One end plugs into the NAC unit, and the other end provides four color-coded conductors (red, black, yellow, blue) for termination at your boat's DC wiring.

It is a straightforward way to replace a damaged lead or clean up an install when the NAC is mounted inside a console or locker and you want a proper plug at the computer end.

Key features

• 2 m cable length for NAC-1 and NAC-2 power connections
• NAC-1/NAC-2 connector on the equipment end to match the autopilot computer power port
• Four conductors with distinct insulation colors (red, black, yellow, blue) for easy identification during termination
• Useful as a replacement harness or for a fresh install when relocating the autopilot computer

Compatibility and fit

Fits Simrad NAC-1 and NAC-2 autopilot computers. The connector end is specific to these NAC units, so it is not intended for generic DC power applications.

Installation and setup

Route the cable with chafe protection and support it so it does not hang on the NAC connector. Leave a small service loop at the computer end, keep the run away from hot engine components and moving steering gear, and seal any deck or bulkhead penetrations.

Terminate the conductors with tinned copper crimp terminals and adhesive-lined heat shrink. Protect the feed with the correct fuse or breaker at the source and follow the wiring color functions shown for your NAC installation.

On-board use notes

This cable makes sense for boats running a NAC-1 or NAC-2 where the autopilot computer is tucked behind the helm or in an equipment space and you want a tidy, serviceable connection back to the DC panel.
