New equipment and integration of existing

Lazybones,

With the exception of a couple of minor errors, your diagram appears to be correct ...
- a SeaTalkng backbone cable would not be used connect the MFD to the SeaTalkng backbone. Instead, the MFD's SeaTalkng spur socket will be interfaced to a white spur socket of the SeaTalkng backbone via an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable (5m maximum). Should the MFD be located more then 5m from the SeaTalk to SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter shown within your diagram, then an additional spur socket will be added to the backbone by installing a SeaTalkng T-Piece or SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector at the location of the MFD and then connecting the SeaTalkng T-Piece or SeaTalkng 5-Way Connector to the blue SeaTalkng backbone socket of the SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter via an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Backbone Cable.
- a SeaTalkng Termination plug will be installed within the remaining two blue backbone sockets.

Q: I assume this means that those ST50+ instruments not connected directly to the course computer will get their data over the seatalk NG backbone, back through the 2nd converter, allowing those instruments to act as repeaters?

A: Correct.
