{"product_id":"qbp544006","title":"Raymarine SeaTalk NG 5-Way Connector, 3 Spur Ports, 2 Backbone Ports","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raymarine A06064 is a SeaTalk NG 5-way connector used to bring up to three white spur connections into one point on a Raymarine marine electronics backbone. It has two blue backbone ports and three white spur ports, so it can sit inline on the backbone while displays, instruments, sensors, or other compatible SeaTalk NG devices connect through spur cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector is a practical way to keep a helm, nav station, or electronics locker tidy when several devices need to join the network near the same location. The blue backbone ports can pass the network through to another part of the boat, or accept terminators when the connector is being used at the end of a completed backbone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive SeaTalk NG connection points in one block: two blue backbone ports and three white spur ports.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates up to three spur drops for compatible SeaTalk NG devices without adding several separate T-connectors in the same area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks as part of the SeaTalk NG backbone layout, with the blue ports used for backbone cable pass-through or network termination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps organize cable runs behind a helm, under a console, or inside an electronics locker where several instruments connect close together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports clean service access because related spur connections can be grouped in one visible junction point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnused sockets should be capped or terminated as required so the network remains protected and correctly completed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlace the connector where the connected devices can reach it with the correct SeaTalk NG spur cable lengths while keeping the backbone run logical and easy to inspect. The blue ports are for the backbone side of the network, and the white ports are for spur connections to individual devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it is used at the end of a SeaTalk NG backbone, the unused blue backbone port can accept a terminator to complete the circuit. Any open sockets should be closed with the proper caps or plugs rather than left exposed in a damp locker or behind a splash-prone helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis connector belongs in Raymarine SeaTalk NG networks and is commonly used with compatible Raymarine displays, instruments, sensors, and autopilot components that connect to the backbone through spur cables. It is most useful when several nearby devices need a shared connection point rather than being spread across separate backbone T-pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits refits and new electronics installs where the network needs to grow without turning the helm wiring into a loose chain of connectors. On cruising boats, fishing boats, and sailboats, it is especially useful around the chartplotter, instrument displays, pilot controller, or data converter area where multiple SeaTalk NG devices are often grouped together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023829758133,"sku":"QBP544006","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1330961_qbp544006.webp?v=1780192016","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp544006","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
