Can two SeaTalk NG 5-Way connectors be placed in series provided the 5-Way units are connected to one another via backbone cable and properly terminated, etc.?
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum mlpayne,
Linking SeaTalkng 5-Way Connectors in the serial manner described is correct and exactly how SeaTalkng backbone components (ex. 5-Way Connectors, T-Pieces, Inline Coupler, SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter) are designed to be connected to one another.
