A drop cable is designed for situations where a straight cable will not fit; this is a very rare possibility, but it can still happen. The STNG network Power cable is a very important network component. This cable supplies the STNG network with 12V voltage. If there is no power on the network, the network will not work. The STNG network is usually powered from one location, preferably from the centre of the network, according to the LEN equivalent, so that the load on both sides of the power supply is more or less equal. The STNG network power supply is intended only for sensors and instruments that receive power directly from the STNG network. Power must not be taken from the STNG network for plotters, car radios, phone chargers, and other consumers not designed to receive power directly from the STNG (NMEA2000) network. The Power cable is connected (blue\/black) to the Backbone cable using a T-connector or a 5-way connector. The Backbone cable runs through the boat from the beginning to the end of the STNG network, and it is sensible to assemble the network using cables of different lengths so that it is possible to make interruptions and add T-connectors or 5-way connectors in places where different STNG instruments need to be added. The Backbone is the main cable of the STNG network, and to start, extend, or terminate the network, STNG terminators, connectors, and 12V power must be added. STNG blue and white cables cannot be connected incorrectly; in addition to the colour coding, STNG cables also have different pin arrangements. Before using the product, familiarise yourself with the operating principles of the STNG (NMEA2000) network. NB! 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.<\/p>\n
