It allows up to three devices to tap off the backbone at one location, making it the preferred alternative to chaining multiple T-pieces in areas where several instruments or sensors are mounted close together, such as a helm station or nav desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e A06064\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 5-Way Connector Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackbone Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 (pass-through, blue SeaTalkNG backbone connectors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpur Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 (white SeaTalkNG spur connectors)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Ports:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaTalkNG \/ NMEA 2000-compatible network backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152-A06064\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny SeaTalkNG backbone installation where three or more devices need to connect at a single backbone location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelm stations and nav desks with multiple Raymarine instruments, MFDs, autopilot heads, or sensors in close proximity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallations where chaining multiple \u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421616164\"\u003eT-piece connectors (A06028)\u003c\/a\u003e would create unnecessarily long backbone segments between closely spaced devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProviding a power cable connection point on the backbone while still leaving two or more spur ports free for devices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine room or below-deck junction points where multiple sensors connect to the backbone at one location\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e5-Way Block vs. T-Piece — Which Should You Use?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/11095421616164\"\u003eA06028 T-piece connector\u003c\/a\u003e provides one backbone pass-through and one spur port — ideal for single device drop-offs along the backbone. The A06064 5-way block provides two backbone pass-throughs and three spur ports — the right choice when multiple devices cluster at one location. Using a 5-way block keeps the backbone run shorter and the installation tidier than chaining three separate T-pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two blue backbone ports pass the backbone trunk through the block — connect your incoming and outgoing backbone cables here\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe three white spur ports connect to individual devices via spur cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePort type is labelled on the connector body — do not connect a spur cable to a backbone port or vice versa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCap any unused spur ports with SeaTalkNG blanking caps to maintain weatherproofing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo terminator is needed at this block — terminators belong only at the two open ends of the full backbone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount in an accessible location, protected from direct water spray where possible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest Use Case:\u003c\/strong\u003e The A06064 is the right pick any time three or more devices need to connect at a single point on the backbone. It’s particularly efficient at a helm cluster where an MFD, autopilot head, instrument display, and the backbone power cable all terminate in the same area — one 5-way block handles all of them cleanly instead of requiring three T-pieces daisy-chained together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Issues:\u003c\/strong\u003e The most frequent installation mistake is confusing the backbone ports (blue) with the spur ports (white). Connecting a spur cable to a backbone port — or routing the backbone trunk through a spur port — will cause the network to behave erratically or fail to initialise. Also note that unused spur ports must be capped; an open spur port on a SeaTalkNG network can cause intermittent connectivity issues.
