Simrad NMEA 2000 Micro-C Medium Duty Cable, 2 m, Low-Loss 18 Gauge

Overview

The Simrad 000-14376-001 is a 2 m (6.5 ft) NMEA 2000 Micro-C medium duty network cable for extending a backbone run between network components. It uses low-loss 18-gauge conductors, which helps keep signal strength up when you need a longer span than a short jumper.

Use it to link Micro-C tees, power insertion points, and terminators when you are stretching the backbone from the helm to a console, flybridge, or aft station. It is also a straightforward way to avoid stacking joiners and extra connection points in wet or high-vibration areas.

Key features

• 2 m (6.5 ft) length for backbone extensions between NMEA 2000 Micro-C network components
• Low-loss 18-gauge cable specified for network backbone runs
• Micro-C connector ends to match standard NMEA 2000 tees, terminators, and power nodes
• Medium duty construction suited to typical onboard routing through cable chases and consoles
• Helps keep a backbone layout clean by reducing the need for additional couplers

Compatibility and fit

This cable is for NMEA 2000 networks that use Micro-C connectors. It is not a substitute for a device drop cable that runs from a tee to an individual instrument, and it is not used for NMEA 0183 wiring.

If your boat has a mix of connector styles, confirm that every component on the run you are extending is Micro-C on both sides, or plan for the correct adapter at the transition point.

Installation and setup

Route the cable so it stays supported and protected from chafe, and avoid tight bends near the connectors. Keep it clear of high-current power runs where possible, and leave a small service loop so network tees and devices can be moved for troubleshooting.

Hand-tighten the locking collars fully so the connection stays seated in a wet environment, and place the run where you can still access it if you need to add a tee or isolate a segment later.

Use cases on board

This length is commonly used when a backbone needs to span between helm electronics and another station, or when you are adding NMEA 2000 devices farther away from the existing network cluster. It suits boats that are expanding a network to carry engine data, heading, AIS, autopilot, or sensor information across multiple displays.

Maintenance and care

Periodically check that the connectors remain snug and free of salt buildup, especially in exposed consoles and under-deck lockers. If you ever disconnect the network, keep the connector ends clean and protected until everything is reassembled.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
