Like all SeaTalkNG spur cables, it uses the white 5-pin spur connector at both ends and carries both network data and 12 V DC power from the backbone to the connected device in a single cable run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e A06041\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raymarine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaTalkNG Spur Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 m (16.4 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaTalkNG spur (5-pin, white) — backbone spur end and device end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaTalkNG \/ NMEA 2000-compatible network\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152-A06041\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting any Raymarine SeaTalkNG-compatible instrument, sensor, or display to the backbone where the device is located 3–5 m from the nearest T-piece or 5-way block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutopilot course computers, instrument displays, wind sensors, depth transducers, AIS receivers, and other SeaTalkNG devices in remote mounting locations such as a mast base, stern, or engine room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallations with complex routing paths — through lockers, under sole boards, or around structural members — where the actual cable run is significantly longer than the straight-line distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVessels using the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421911076\"\u003eE22158 SeaTalkNG Backbone Kit\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095422435364\"\u003eT70134 SeaTalkNG Starter Kit\u003c\/a\u003e where individual device spur cables are specified separately per device location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacing a damaged or undersized spur cable on an existing SeaTalkNG installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpur vs. Backbone — What’s the Difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ebackbone\u003c\/strong\u003e is the main trunk cable running the length of the vessel, using blue locking connectors. \u003cstrong\u003eSpur cables\u003c\/strong\u003e branch off the backbone at T-pieces or 5-way blocks and connect to individual devices using the white 5-pin spur connector.

It’s also the smart pick when you’re not certain of the exact routing path during planning; the additional length gives you the flexibility to route cleanly without coming up short.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Issues:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most common mistake with the 5M spur is over-ordering when a shorter cable would actually fit — excess spur cable has to be carefully secured or coiled, which adds clutter to an otherwise clean installation. Always measure the actual routing path (not just the straight-line distance) before selecting a length. As with all spur cables, do not attempt to extend or join two spur cables in series — if 5M isn’t enough, the right solution is to move a T-piece closer to the device or redesign the backbone layout. If the device is not appearing on the network after connection, verify both spur connectors are fully clicked and locked at the T-piece socket and the device port.\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 — Shortest spur option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095422009380\"\u003eRaymarine A06040 SeaTalkNG Spur Cable – 3M\u003c\/a\u003e — Mid-length spur option\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 to make a 10M run?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — spur cables must not be chained or extended end-to-end.
