You can cut the cable and the splice it back on after passing trhough the hole. Exist sure to get out a pigtail on the plug finish so you accept something to work with and preserve the ground sheath connectedness.

This is our first NMEA 2000 network and we are getting smarter by the hour most information technology. Mary already spliced the musical instrument wire where it exits the mast, and the kit came with a field installable connector for the instrument, just this whole network matter is nightmareish compared to the former single purpose instruments.

Bill, how are you going to Miami? I estimate there are four ways, the canal or Florida Bay or Hawk Channel or the Gulf Stream. I have only washed Hawk Aqueduct, once each fashion. Only swell sailing.

Wazzat? Termination resisors is non something we take learned nonetheless. I was not planning on messing with the array of T connectors which say in Garmin diagams that they take Termination resisors at the united nations opened ends.if you don't do the termination resistors correctly it will bring down the network

Mary tinned, twisted and soldered the 5 wires, taped the joints and foil wrapped the two pairs, then taped the whole mess, Bless her nimble fiddling fingers.Splicing many cables requires barrel-connecting minor gauge wire. I wonder what Maine Canvass and the rest of you do when wires are too pocket-sized for the red butts. I wound upward buying modest-guage butt connectors from Centrolineal. They expect like little buttons and are crimped with pliers. They don't have heat-shrink but they practise have dielectric grease in them. I wonder how long these connectors would last in a marine environment tucked away in a pedastal.

Or
You could just use a new Nmea2000 connector.
I've washed both and both piece of work.

Those sound similar the connectors that AT&T used on phone lines for many, many years. Since the wire and contacts are sealed within, with dielectric grease, I would think they would be fine.
Splicing many cables requires butt-connecting modest approximate wire. I wonder what Maine Sail and the residual of you do when wires are likewise small for the red butts. I wound upwards buying small-guage butt connectors from Allied. They expect like niggling buttons and are crimped with pliers. They don't have heat-shrink only they practice have dielectric grease in them. I wonder how long these connectors would last in a marine surroundings tucked away in a pedastal.

Hoping that is true, but still waiting on Garmin to verify. Crummy to spend $one,000 on a unit and i connector keeping us from the install. Won't be using information technology on upcoming prowl.:cry:You tin cut and splice. Each wire properly soldered and compress wrapped and shrink wrap the outside core.
Or
You could just employ a new Nmea2000 connector.I've done both and both work.

i suspect she wont do that as far equally i can tell she is very devoted and with devotion comes over looking ones spiral ups with in reason lol.....you two seem to exist a really cool couple....but if she needs some sense of humour in her blog then it will exist your turn to overlook the screw ups lol ....Mary has already started a blog for all you lot snow leap sailors. Promise she doesn't wave my scrw ups all over the net.

Boats were laid upward for the winter, masts taken down and rigging preserved in boiled linseed oil.
Manufacturers of everything electric that was mast mounted presumed that this demasting was the norm and, because one was non expected to unlace the wiring right through the gunkhole every time the mast was unstepped, there would always exist a joint box or plug/socket somewhere near the mast heel.
Imagine a yard taking a mast down where in that location was no means of disconnecting all the cables.
So, unless the manual describes how, one may reasonably presume that the equipment manufacturer anticipated that people will brand a removable (and waterproof) connexion in every cable. Usually this is best fabricated below deck in the headlining and through a waterproof deck gland.
Normally cables with individual wires simply crave a connector block or plug/socket. Co-centric cables (to antennas) need co ax plugs.

Tommays. The terminal resistors are in the specially designed end plug you (duh) stop the wire with. You but need the terminating plug at an end that does non take anything connected to it. The purpose is to keep the signal voltage pulses from echoing back along the wire. The wires are just wires and tin be splices normally

I love this forum. We had Morgans before and their forum had fallen apart years earlier we bought our commencement.

Just make up a female/male extension cable (cable and two connectors).
That way you don't have to cutting off the connector (no warrenty problems), It stays inside the mast.
Simply a thought.

Donalex - yearly mast removal is the norm up hither too merely just about no-one seems to have the connections made sensibly. I've seen everything from flight twisted wire (yearly twisted and taped, then just yanked apart at removal) , to concluding strips, to mil-spec Amphenol connectors.
Dorsum to the OP - yes it is possible to cut and then splice the NMEA 2000 cable. Well made, soldered Western-wedlock splices and so taped or tubed will piece of work. For some it might be simpler to make crimped connections:
The first is a butt-splice, the 2d is a closed-finish splice, which I like a bit better considering yous kickoff twist the wires together, it's only one crimp, and information technology'south easy to weatherproof by squirting 3M 5200 into the single open end. leave slack in case the splice always has to be repaired or remade.
Regardless of splice type, it's best to locate the splice somewhere where you can always get to it. Never bury any interconnection in inaccessible places.
