Raymarine SeaTalk, 1 ,2 ,ng wiring crossreference

[Royal]

I thought the AI50 does communicate over NMEA2000 as mentioned on this post https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums...000-54688.html When I looked in the manual it also mentioned NMEA2000 however I will need to reread that when I'm back on the boat.

Thank you for replying it's really helpful as I'm struggling to find information on the AI50 unit

Do you know which colour cables on simnet match the seatalkng so I can splice the two cables together?

the wire colors inside a simnet, device net (nmea 2000) and stng is all the same. blue, white, red, black, shield. I think one color is different in the simnet. so just join the 2 odd colors

I think the only option is to get a simnet cable and stng cable and cut both ends off and splice together yourself. or you could get a male and female nmea2000 end to join the 2 together. but that would be wasting money.

Don’t you just love the plug-and-play simplicity of N2K and yet both major marine manufacturers with which you are dealing have proprietary flavors? According to the manual the AI50 is Simnet/N2K.

Defender sells a Simnet -> N2K cable. They also sell a SeaTalkng->N2K adapter that allows you to connect an N2K cable to a SeaTalkng T or 5-port connector. (Check the gender of all connectors, I didn’t).

Sorry, realized I forgot the adapter link. https://www.defender.com/product.jsp?id=4871658

My fault. You are right SimNet equals to NMEA2000. You only need a cable.
