NMEA 0183 cable
You can extend the NMEA 0183 wires within the
supplied power and data cable.
Data cable extension
Total length (max)
Cable
Up to 5 m
High quality data cable:
• 2 x twisted pair with overall
shield.
• 50 to 75 pF/m capacitance
core to core.
4.10 a6x and a7x to NMEA 0183 DSC
VHF radio connection
To connect an a6x and a7x variant MFDs to an
NMEA 0183 DSC radio a
SeaTalk
ng
to NMEA 0183
converter must be used to convert the
SeaTalk
ng
messages to NMEA 0183 messages.
The MFD and converter must be connected to the
same
SeaTalk
ng
backbone.
