Bluewater 10 m NMEA 2000 Marine Network Drop Cable

The Bluewater marine network drop cable connects a compatible onboard device to an existing NMEA 2000 backbone. It is intended for displays, GPS equipment, sensors, and other networked electronics that need a dependable branch connection from the main trunk. The five-pin connectors are molded for marine use and help maintain a secure data path in areas exposed to spray and movement. This makes the cable useful for both new network installations and replacement of an aging or damaged drop line.

The cable is built to the NMEA 2000 networking standard so it can be integrated into compatible systems from major marine electronics manufacturers. Rugged outer materials are intended to resist saltwater corrosion, UV exposure, and mechanical wear along the cable route. The sealed connectors also help reduce the chance of intermittent communication caused by moisture at the connection point. When routed and supported correctly, the drop line provides a clean way to bring network data from the backbone to an individual device.

• Five-pin molded marine connectors
• Suitable for displays, sensors, GPS equipment, and other compatible devices
• Designed to resist UV exposure, saltwater corrosion, and mechanical wear
• Useful for new installations or replacement network drops

Route the cable away from sharp edges, high-heat areas, and locations where service access would require disturbing other wiring. Verify the existing backbone has proper power and termination before using a new drop cable to troubleshoot a communication problem.
