[CA] [CA11] Axiom 9 to Seatalkng

[S Guttilla]

I'm installing a Seatalkng starter kit for my network. Just received the starter kit and it has a power cable and a stub cable. The stub cable has white ends with a female connector at both ends. The cable coming from the Axiom 9 comes out of the same connector as the power cord. Do I need an interface cable between the Hub and this cable coming out of the Axiom 9 as I believe the cable coming out o the Axiom 9 is also a female terminated cable (not sure as I am not at the boat as I write this) or should I be connecting the white stub cable to another port on the Axiom 9?

Thanks for your Help.

Q1. I'm installing a Seatalkng starter kit for my network. Just received the starter kit and it has a power cable and a stub cable. The stub cable has white ends with a female connector at both ends.

A1. The SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 communications interface is terminated with the 5-pin DeviceNet (M) plug which you have referenced. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing how this plug may be connected to a spur socket within a NMEA 2000 backbone which has been constructed from SeaTalkng networking components. I would typically recommend that a A06075 / 39.4in (1.0m) SeaTalkng Spur to DeviceNet (F) Adapter Cable be used for this purpose.
