It comes with a 1.0 m (3.2 ft) Micro-C (female) to SimNet lead, a 2 m (6.6 ft) SimNet cable, and a 2 m (6.6 ft) SimNet power cable with an integrated terminator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is commonly used during refits when the boat has SimNet cabling behind the dash but new sensors, displays, or backbone parts are Micro-C. Once connected, the SimNet segment and the Micro-C backbone can share the same NMEA 2000 data so typical instrument and navigation PGNs can move across the network as expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects a SimNet segment to a NMEA 2000 Micro-C backbone using a Micro-C (female) to SimNet cable (1.0 m \/ 3.2 ft).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a SimNet 7 Prong Multi-Joiner for expanding SimNet connections in one accessible point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimNet cable included (2 m \/ 6.6 ft) for building out the SimNet side without sourcing separate backbone cabling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimNet power cable with built-in terminator included (2 m \/ 6.6 ft) to power and terminate one end of the SimNet segment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate SimNet termination plug included for proper end-of-line termination on the remaining end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimNet cable, 2 m (6.6 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimNet termination plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimNet power cable with terminator, 2 m (6.6 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicro-C (female) to SimNet cable, 1.0 m (3.2 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimNet 7 Prong Multi-Joiner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is meant for boats that already have SimNet devices and want to connect that SimNet cabling into a NMEA 2000 backbone that uses Micro-C connectors. Because the Micro-C end of the adapter lead is female, it is worth checking what connector gender you have available at the tie-in point to avoid surprises when routing cables behind the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the SimNet side like a short backbone: place the Multi-Joiner where it stays accessible, run the SimNet cable where it will not chafe, and keep connectors in a dry location behind the dash or inside a console. Use the two terminators so the SimNet segment is terminated at both ends, then connect the Micro-C to SimNet lead where the SimNet segment meets your Micro-C backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn most boats, failures come from connector strain and damp storage rather than the cable itself. Leave a small service loop, support the cable near the joiner, and keep the joiner and plugs out of low spots that collect water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit makes sense when you are updating an older Simrad SimNet install and want to add or reorganize a Micro-C NMEA 2000 backbone without pulling every SimNet run out of the boat. It also works well when a boat already has a Micro-C backbone and you need a SimNet branch for legacy SimNet equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simrad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269098893493,"sku":"QBP491309","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1298468_qbp491309.jpg?v=1771541862","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp491309","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
