NMEA 2000 Backbone Cable

Backbone cables connect tee connectors to one another or to a power tee.
Backbone cables are used when the power tee and device are at different locations or when multiple devices are at different locations along the network backbone.

Ancor backbone cables have yellow couplers and are made from heavier 18 gauge wire than Ancor drop cables to help reduce voltage drop along the typically longer network backbone.

The yellow couplers connect to the corresponding Ancor tees creating a simplified, color coded network installation.
Backbone cables are available in four lengths from 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) to 10 meters (32.8 feet) to cover a wide variety of applications.
• Color coded for easy installation and component identification
• Large 18 AWG power conductors to reduce voltage drop and provide better reliability for critical backbone cables
• NMEA 2000 Approved, 100% universal and compatible with other manufacturers' products
