Simrad NMEA 2000 Micro-C Medium Duty Cable, 6 m, 18 Gauge

Overview

The Simrad 000-14377-001 is a 6 m (19.7 ft) NMEA 2000 Micro-C medium-duty network cable with male-to-female connectors and low-loss 18-gauge conductors.

Use it to extend a NMEA 2000 backbone between T-connectors, or to reach a device that sits farther from the nearest tee without resorting to splices. On boats where electronics are split between the helm, flybridge, engine space, and mast or transom sensors, the extra length helps keep the network layout clean and serviceable.

Because it uses the Micro-C connector style, it fits NMEA 2000 networks built with Micro-C tees, terminators, and power taps. If your boat uses a different connector family, plan on the correct adapter at the interface point.

Key features

• 6 m (19.7 ft) length for longer backbone sections or maximum-length runs where the layout requires it
• Micro-C male-to-female ends to link directly between tees, inline components, and backbone sections
• Medium-duty, low-loss 18-gauge conductors for runs where voltage drop becomes a concern as the network grows
• Standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C format used across many modern marine electronics networks

Compatibility and fit

This cable is for NMEA 2000 (Micro-C) networks. It is not an Ethernet cable and it does not replace NMEA 0183 wiring. If you are bridging between different connector styles such as SeaTalkNG or older SimNet layouts, use an adapter at the transition rather than forcing threads or pins to mate.

At 6 m, it also lines up with the common per-device drop-length limit used when planning NMEA 2000 layouts, which can matter when a display, engine gateway, or sensor has to be mounted a long way from the backbone.

Installation and routing

Route the cable where it will not be pinched by hatches, chafe on fiberglass edges, or rest against hot engine components. Support it along the run so the connectors are not carrying the cable's weight in rough water.

Micro-C connectors are meant to be hand-tightened. Keep junctions accessible for troubleshooting, and leave a small service loop so you can unplug devices without pulling on the backbone.

Who it suits

This is a practical pick for refits and new builds where the backbone needs to reach a second helm, an engine interface, or a sensor cluster without adding extra junctions. It also makes sense when you want a single continuous run between network tees rather than a chain of short extensions.

Returns may be requested within 30 days of receiving your order. Items must be unused, uninstalled, unaltered, and returned in their original packaging with all tags, packing materials, blank warranty cards, manuals, instructions, accessories, and included items. Certain products, including installed or used electronics, electrical components, lighting, consumables, custom or special-order items, cut-to-length products, safety equipment, and merchandise exposed to water or marine conditions, may not be eligible for return.

To request a return, sign in to your account and select the applicable order and items, and submit your request for review. Eligible unfulfilled items may also be submitted for cancellation within 1 hour of placing the order. Returns or cancellations are not considered approved until you receive confirmation from Apollo Lighting. Please do not ship or drop off merchandise before receiving return approval and instructions.

Customers are responsible for arranging and paying for return shipping unless the return is due to an error by Apollo Lighting or the item is verified as defective, damaged, or incorrect. Missing, damaged, defective, or incorrect items must be reported within 2 business days of delivery, and photos or other documentation may be required for review. If the issue is verified, Apollo Lighting may provide or reimburse return shipping and issue a replacement or refund depending on the circumstances. International customers are responsible for return shipping, duties, taxes, customs charges, brokerage fees, and other costs associated with an international return.

After your return is received and inspected, approved refunds are issued to the original payment method and may take 5-7 business days to appear after processing. Original shipping and handling charges are nonrefundable, and the value of any included free items that are not returned may be deducted from the refund. Apollo Lighting does not charge a standard restocking fee on eligible returns. Returns that are incomplete, damaged, installed, used, altered, improperly packaged, or otherwise do not meet the eligibility requirements may be refused. We recommend using a trackable and appropriately insured shipping service for all customer-arranged returns.

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.
