Any open spur port on a T-piece that is not connected to a device or spur cable must be capped with a blanking plug to prevent moisture ingress, salt contamination, and corrosion of the connector contacts. The A06032 is the OEM Raymarine blanking plug for SeaTalkNG spur ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlanking plugs are a standard requirement in any SeaTalkNG installation: if you install a T-piece with the intention of connecting an additional device later, cap the unused spur port with an A06032 until the device is added.

Open SeaTalkNG connector ports in the marine environment will corrode and can introduce moisture into the connector housing. Corrosion on the connector contacts can cause intermittent network faults that are difficult to diagnose. Blanking plugs are inexpensive insurance against a common source of network problems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow many blanking plugs do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e One per unused spur port across your installation. If you are installing T-pieces with spare capacity for future devices, order one A06032 per unused spur port at the time of the network build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the A06032 fit backbone ports?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The A06032 is designed for the white spur port only. The two blue backbone ports on a T-piece use terminator plugs (at the ends of the backbone) or backbone cable — they are not capped with blanking plugs mid-network.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the A06032 included in backbone kits?\u003c\/strong\u003e Blanking plugs are not always included in backbone starter kits.

Order a small quantity alongside any T-piece or backbone kit purchase, particularly for phased installations where some T-pieces are being installed now with spare capacity for devices being added later. A few blanking plugs included in the initial order prevents an avoidable follow-up order before the installation is complete.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Issues:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermittent network faults and device dropouts on an otherwise correctly wired SeaTalkNG system are frequently traced back to corroded connector contacts on an uncapped spur port. If a customer reports unexplained network instability after a period of service, inspecting all T-piece spur ports for missing or damaged blanking plugs is an early diagnostic step. Blanking plugs can also be inadvertently removed during maintenance and not replaced — a visual check of all T-pieces is worthwhile any time the network is accessed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51122049646628,"sku":"152-A06032","price":32.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/4cd61ff4-9cb7-406d-82c1-86d8b9410ca6.png?v=1788487069","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/raymarine-a06032-blanking-plug-152-a06032","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
