Navico NMEA 2000 Cable - 6M

Enhance Your Marine Electronics Network with Reliable Connectivity

Imagine cruising through choppy waters with your GPS, fishfinder, and autopilot all talking seamlessly—no glitches, no dropped signals. That's the power of a high-quality NMEA 2000 cable like this 6-meter option from Navico. Designed for the demanding marine environment, it ensures your onboard systems stay interconnected, delivering real-time data for safer, smarter boating.

Unlike flimsy alternatives that fray or corrode after a season, this cable stands up to saltwater spray, UV exposure, and constant vibration. It's the backbone extender you need for mid-sized vessels where devices are spread out, bridging the gap without signal loss.

Why This 6-Meter Length is a Game-Changer for Boaters

The sweet spot for many setups: long enough to route around consoles, bulkheads, and engine compartments without excess slack that invites damage. At 6 meters (about 20 feet), it reaches from helm stations to transducers or stern-mounted sensors effortlessly. Perfect for repowering older boats or expanding networks on center consoles, fishing skiffs, or yachts under 40 feet.

• Optimal Reach: Connects devices up to 6m apart, ideal for T-connectors in backbone setups.
• Low Power Draw: Micro-C connectors maintain efficient power distribution across the bus.
• Future-Proof: Supports data rates up to 250 kbps for high-bandwidth sharing like AIS, sonar overlays, and engine monitoring.

Seamless Compatibility Across Marine Brands

Navico engineered this cable to play nice with NMEA 2000-certified gear from Simrad, Lowrance, B&G, and beyond. Plug it into Furuno plotters, Garmin autopilots, or Raymarine radars—universal Micro-C fittings ensure drop-in compatibility. No adapters needed, saving you time and frustration during installs.

It's certified to the NMEA standard, so expect plug-and-play with chartplotters, VHF radios, and digital switching systems. Boaters upgrading from NMEA 0183 love how it simplifies multi-vendor networks, turning disparate devices into a unified ecosystem.

Installation Tips for Flawless Performance

Getting it right the first time prevents headaches later. Start by planning your backbone: run this cable along the hull's interior, securing with cable ties every 30cm to dampen vibes. Use T-connectors for branches, keeping stubs under 3m to avoid reflections.

1. Prep the Route: Drill minimal holes; use existing conduits where possible.
2. Terminations: Add 120-ohm terminators at both ends of the backbone.
3. Power Insertion: Place a 12V drop within 10m of devices for stable voltage.
4. Test It: Power up and use diagnostic tools to verify bus health—no shorts or opens.

Pro tip: In humid climates, seal connections with dielectric grease to fend off corrosion. This cable's rugged jacket shrugs off abrasion, but thoughtful routing extends its lifespan to a decade or more.

Built for the Long Haul in Harsh Conditions

Crafted with tinned copper conductors for superior corrosion resistance and a flexible PVC sheath that won't crack in freezing temps. It handles bends down to 5cm radius, making tight helm installs a breeze. Weighing under 200g, it won't strain your wiring looms.

Anglers report zero interference during high-speed trolling, while offshore sailors praise its role in reliable EPIRB integration. It's not just wire—it's peace of mind on the water.
