[CA] [CA11] Power when interfacing seatalkng to NMEA2000

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Rom,

The last extract which you posted addresses how the listed adapters may be used to interface the product as a spur to a backbone which has been constructed from SeaTalkng networking component. It does not address how two backbones which have been constructed from SeaTalkng and third party NMEA networking components may be interfaced to one another.

Q1. On a related matter, an MFD will not provide power to a back bone, is this correct?
A1. Correct.

Q2. So if the backbone is very small (i.e simply a 5-way connector with 1 spur going to MFD, 1 spur going to i70s, 2 terminators on the extremities) you still need to apply power ( in the example used, power applied to the last remaining spur node available on the 5-way connector)?
A2. Within such a small backbone, the SeaTalkng Power Cable may be plugged into any of the 5-Way Connector's spur (white) sockets.
