The extra length also gives you slack to work with during installation, which makes a cleaner, stress-free connection at the device port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Issues:\u003c\/strong\u003e Customers sometimes order the 3M spur when the 1M would fit cleanly — excess spur cable has to be coiled or secured, which can look untidy in a finished installation. Measure the actual routing distance before ordering. Also confirm the device uses a SeaTalkNG spur port (white 5-pin connector) rather than a backbone port — connecting a spur cable to a backbone port will not work. If the device powers up but doesn’t appear on the network, check that both ends of the spur are fully clicked into their locking sockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Products \u0026amp; Accessories\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421976612\"\u003eRaymarine A06039 SeaTalkNG Spur Cable – 1M\u003c\/a\u003e — Shorter spur option for devices close to the backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421616164\"\u003eRaymarine A06028 SeaTalkNG T-Piece Connector\u003c\/a\u003e — Backbone junction providing the spur socket this cable connects to\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095422173220\"\u003eRaymarine A06064 SeaTalkNG 5-Way Connector Block\u003c\/a\u003e — Multi-drop junction for high-device-density areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421681700\"\u003eRaymarine A06031 SeaTalkNG Backbone Terminator\u003c\/a\u003e — Required at both ends of every backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421845540\"\u003eRaymarine A06035 SeaTalkNG Backbone Cable – 3M\u003c\/a\u003e — Backbone trunk cable (not a spur cable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421943844\"\u003eRaymarine A06036 SeaTalkNG Backbone Cable – 5M\u003c\/a\u003e — Longer backbone trunk cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421911076\"\u003eRaymarine E22158 SeaTalkNG Backbone Kit\u003c\/a\u003e — Complete backbone hardware kit; spur cables ordered separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095422435364\"\u003eRaymarine T70134 SeaTalkNG Starter Kit\u003c\/a\u003e — Entry-level network kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095422337060\"\u003eRaymarine A06076 SeaTalkNG to DeviceNet Adaptor Cable – 1M\u003c\/a\u003e — Connect NMEA 2000 DeviceNet devices to the SeaTalkNG backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095422369828\"\u003eRaymarine A06082 NMEA 2000 to SeaTalkNG Adaptor\u003c\/a\u003e — Alternative DeviceNet adaptor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I join two spur cables together to make a longer run?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — spur cables should not be chained or extended.
