Raymarine 3M Backbone Cable f/SeaTalk^ng

The Raymarine 3M Backbone Cable for SeaTalk^ng (part number A06035) is a backbone cable assembly designed to form the central network backbone in SeaTalk^ng marine installations. This 3-meter backbone cable runs the length of the vessel and carries both data and power to all connected NG and NMEA 2000 compatible devices through spur cables and T-pieces, making it essential infrastructure for modern marine electronics integration.

In a properly configured SeaTalk^ng system, the backbone cable must be sized and routed to pass every location where devices might be installed—chartplotters, depth transducers, wind instruments, and autopilot controllers. The 3-meter length accommodates mid-size vessels where a single backbone run is practical, and multiple cables can be joined together using Raymarine connector A06030 to extend the network across larger hulls. Proper backbone sizing prevents future installation limitations and ensures reliable power delivery to all networked equipment.

This cable is essential for weekend fishermen upgrading from standalone instruments to an integrated electronic system, as well as serious offshore anglers who depend on redundant, multi-device navigation and fish-finding networks. Boaters planning a complete electronics overhaul—whether adding autopilot capability, upgrading to modern glass cockpit displays, or integrating wireless sensors—need to establish the backbone before branching spur cables. The cable's design ensures compatibility with the full Raymarine NG product line and any NMEA 2000 certified peripheral devices.
