Simrad 24005729 SimNet to NMEA 2000 Micro-C Adapter Cable – 0.5m / 1.6 ft
Part Number: 24005729 (distributor SKU: 941-24005729)
Brand: Simrad
Type: SimNet to NMEA 2000 Micro-C (male) adapter cable
Length: 0.5m / 1.6 ft
Connectors: SimNet (device end) – Micro-C male (NMEA 2000 backbone end)
Product Overview
The Simrad 24005729 is a short adapter cable that connects a SimNet-equipped Simrad or Navico device to a standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C backbone. SimNet is Simrad’s legacy proprietary network protocol used on older instruments and autopilot components. This adapter cable allows those SimNet devices to participate in a standard Micro-C NMEA 2000 network, bridging the two connector formats with a 0.5m drop cable. The Micro-C male end connects directly into a T-connector or joiner block on the NMEA 2000 backbone.
- SimNet connector on the device end
- Micro-C male NMEA 2000 connector on the backbone end
- Length: 0.5m / 1.6 ft
- Enables SimNet-equipped devices to connect to a standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C backbone
- Pre-terminated — no field assembly required
- Weight: 50 g
Compatible Applications
- Connecting older Simrad SimNet instruments, autopilot components, or accessories to a standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C backbone
- Integrating Simrad SimNet devices into a mixed Simrad / Lowrance / Garmin or multi-brand NMEA 2000 network
- Retrofitting legacy Simrad SimNet equipment into a new NMEA 2000 network build
- Short drop cable application where the SimNet device is located close to the NMEA 2000 backbone
Connector Note: The device end uses the SimNet proprietary connector. Confirm your device has a SimNet port before ordering. The backbone end is Micro-C male, which connects into a standard NMEA 2000 T-connector or 4-way joiner. For a complete NMEA 2000 backbone starter kit, see the Simrad 000-10760-001 NMEA 2000 Backbone Starter Kit.

Installation Notes
- Connect the SimNet end to the device’s SimNet port — align and seat the connector fully
- Connect the Micro-C male end to an available port on a T-connector or 4-way joiner on the NMEA 2000 backbone
- Ensure the backbone is properly terminated at both ends before powering up
- Secure the cable with appropriate strain relief to avoid stress on the connectors
- After power-on, confirm the SimNet device appears on the NMEA 2000 network
Technical FAQ
What is SimNet? SimNet is Simrad’s legacy proprietary networking protocol used on older Simrad instruments and autopilot components. It is electrically similar to NMEA 2000 but uses a different connector format. This adapter cable bridges SimNet devices to a standard Micro-C NMEA 2000 backbone.
Is this compatible with all SimNet devices? The 24005729 is designed for SimNet-equipped Simrad and Navico devices that use the SimNet connector format. Confirm your device has a SimNet port — not all older Simrad devices use SimNet.
What backbone components do I need? The Micro-C male end of this cable connects into a standard NMEA 2000 T-connector on the backbone. See the Simrad 000-10760-001 Backbone Starter Kit for a complete backbone solution.

Parts Desk Insights
The 24005729 is specifically for SimNet-to-Micro-C bridging — it’s needed when a customer has an older Simrad SimNet device they want to keep on a modern NMEA 2000 backbone. The most common confusion is between SimNet and standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C connectors — they look similar but are not interchangeable. Always confirm the device actually has a SimNet port before ordering this adapter. Also check cable routing: 0.5m / 1.6 ft is a very short drop — the backbone T-connector needs to be immediately adjacent to the device for this length to work.
