Questions & Answers

Is it possible to connect two separate backbones with this cable, and are the cable ends field replaceable?

Yes, an additional cable or a terminator can be connected. Simply follow the LEN (load Equivalency Number) totaling rules for total length, number of devices, and total LEN (load Equivalency Number).

Is the distinction between backbone and drop cables significant?

The only difference, in my opinion, is in the length. Regardless of how you refer to it, I believe the connectors on the ends are the same. I ordered a 25-foot one to run an NMEA connection between my NMEA 2K chart plotter at the helm and my NMEA 2K VHF radio at the Nav station, so they could share GPS coordinates, AIS targets, and so on.

Is it possible to connect two fish finders with this cord?

It is determined by the type of fish finder used. Some models make use of ethernet, which is a more convenient connection. If you need a NMEA cable, you'll need a NMEA starter kit; if you need a NMEA cable, you'll need a NMEA starter kit; if you need a NMEA cable, you'll need a NMEA starter kit; if you need a NMEA cable, you'll need a NMEA starter kit; if you need a NMEA starter kit, you'll need a NMEA starter and a second NMEA tee connector, as well as a short NMEA drop cable. I recently replaced my Lowrance units, which were connected via ethernet, with Garmin units, which also use ethernet.

Is it possible to use this as a cable extender?

Yes, all you need is the right coupler.

High-quality cable that will last a long time
5/5

The Garmin cables are well-made and simple to set up. I had to cut the cable to fit it through a small hole and replace the fitting at the other end. The wires were of a thick gauge and were simple to work with. I had no problems running my NMEA 2000 system with these cables throughout the season.
