[CA] Connecting to ev1, mfd, transponder

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Ahelbig,

Q. Am I correct in saying I can use a male devicenet adapter cable and then use a nmea spur cable to connect to the remaining port on the nmea backbone.
Could you confirm the part number for me please.
A. Should you elect to go with a NMEA 2000 backbone which has been constructed from third party NMEA 2000 networking components, you will need to ensure that the backbone which has been constructed has sufficient spur socket's (T's) to permit each device having a SeaTalkng communications socket to be interfaced to the third party backbone. Depending upon whether the T's feature a DeviceNet (F) (most common) or DeviceNet (M) socket a SeaTalkng to DeviceNet Adapter Cable having the correct gender of DeviceNet plug will need to be purchased.
