STNG BackBone Extender

The STNG BackBone Extender is a good option for joining two STNG BackBone cables. If, during a refit, an existing cable is too short and a segment of STNG BackBone cable needs to be added, the STNG BackBone Extender is a quick and secure solution. Important! The white spur cable must not be extended, the maximum length for a spur cable run is 6m, and STNG Spur cable and BackBone cable have different pin layouts. The Raymarine STNG BackBone (blue/black) cable, as the name suggests, is the “backbone” cable. The BackBone cable runs from the beginning to the end of the STNG network on a boat, and it makes sense to construct the network using cables of different lengths so that interruptions can be made and T-connectors or 5-Way connectors can be added where different STNG instruments need to be connected. The BackBone is the main cable of the STNG network, and STNG terminators, connectors and 12V power supply must be added to start, extend or terminate the network. STNG blue and white cables cannot be connected incorrectly; in addition to colour coding, STNG cables also have different pin layouts. Before using the product, familiarise yourself with the operating principles of the STNG (NMEA2000) network. Important! The blue and white nuts on the STNG connector sockets should only be turned a quarter of a turn. Corresponding markings are indicated on the product.
