One end is a Micro-C male plug for a standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C port, and the other end is a SimNet connector for the wind sensor side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35 m (115 ft) length for long mast runs on sailboats with deck-stepped or keel-stepped rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 2000 wind vane cable built for connecting a masthead wind unit into the boat network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro-C male end for NMEA 2000 Micro-C connections and a SimNet connector on the wind unit end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful when the wind sensor is SimNet-based but the rest of the boat network is Micro-C NMEA 2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is meant for a SimNet masthead wind sensor connection and a NMEA 2000 backbone that uses Micro-C connectors. The Micro-C end mates with a Micro-C female port (commonly found on a T-connector or network extension). The SimNet end mates with the SimNet port on the wind unit side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a network cable, not a general-purpose power lead or Ethernet cable, so it should be used only within the NMEA 2000\/SimNet instrument network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore you pull the cable, measure the route and plan where you want service loops at the mast base and behind the instrument network. When running inside the spar, secure it to avoid slap and chafe, and protect the connectors while pulling through tight exits or conduit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce connected, confirm the NMEA 2000 backbone is correctly powered and terminated, then check your display or instrument system for wind data on the network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is a good match for cruisers and racers who need reliable wind data at the helm and below decks, especially when updating the boat to a Micro-C NMEA 2000 backbone while keeping a SimNet masthead wind setup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269723910325,"sku":"QBP019977","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299854_qbp019977.jpg?v=1771545413","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp019977","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
