[CA] [CA11] Connecting I70S and P70S

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum jgol,

Q. Please let me know if proposed connection on attached picture is acceptable:
A. Unlike SeaTalk and the original SeaTalkng standard, NMEA 2000 networking standards do support daisy chains. In adherence with the NMEA 2000 standard, products such as the i70S, p70S, and p70RS which were introduced to replace the i70, p70, and p70R, these new products feature a single SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 socket.

Indeed, the proposed connection method appears to be correct. That said, should the two items shown be located within close proximity to one another, then the T-Piece shown would typically be replaced with a 5-Way Connector and the two devices would then be connected to the spur sockets of the 5-Way Connector via appropriate lengths of SeaTalkng Spur Cable. The maximum distance which a device may be located from a spur socket is 6m.
