There are many instruments available for boats that can assist you on the water, but these devices must be connected in some way. You do this using ship cables. In the Mediawinkel.eu range you will find several types of connections and cables for these devices, so that you can always connect what you need to ensure your boat trip runs smoothly. Below you can read more about ship cables, what requirements they must meet and what types of cables you will find in the Mediawinkel.eu range.

What requirements must a ship's cable meet?

A ship's cable is not an ordinary cable. Although this type of cable is similar in function to a regular cable, a marine cable must meet a number of requirements before it can be used on a boat. The main purpose of these requirements is to increase safety on the boat. For example, it is important that the cable is water-resistant and that water cannot penetrate the cable. Ship cables therefore need a protective layer to prevent water from penetrating. Water can have dangerous consequences for a cable. This can lead to a short circuit, which can damage an instrument. In addition, you run the risk of a boat fire, something you absolutely want to prevent.

In addition, good insulation is important for a cable. Not only to prevent water, but also because a cable must be able to withstand other conditions on the boat. This includes cold or very warm temperatures and other weather conditions. Reliable guidance that provides good protection is essential. A ship's cable must also be resistant to vibrations and electrical signals.

Finally, there are a number of elements that should be kept in mind when selecting a suitable ship's cable (or ship's cables), although these elements are not necessarily mandatory. In addition to the level of security, you can keep an eye on elements such as the diameter, the number of cores, the degree of shielding, the color and the price. This way you will always find the ship cables you need.

Types of marine cables

In the Mediawinkel.eu range you will find many types of marine cables, each with their own function. What can you find in the Mediawinkel.eu webshop?

USB cable or PC interface: use this cable to establish a link between the network and the existing PC or laptop.
Gateway: if you have a chartplotter or multifunction display that can display data from other electrical instruments, you must use a cable that converts the collected data into the 'language' that the chartplotter or MFD speaks. A gateway does this for you.
Connectors: you probably know the English verb 'connect', which literally means making a connection. Connectors are ship cables that establish a connection between two instruments or within an instrument itself.
Extension cable: sometimes a cable is not sufficient in terms of length, after which you have to switch to an extension cable to ensure that a device can be connected to power. Brands such as Lowrance, specialized in all kinds of marine technology, have special extension cables for ships in their range. You can also buy these at Mediawinkel.eu.
Buffers: certain signals, for example NMEA signals, need to be buffered before they can be received properly. Signals can differ in terms of voltage level, whereby each signal must be received at the correct voltage level. This improves the quality of the data. You can connect up to six NMEA consumers to a buffer.
Multiplexer: protection that is connected to this provides protection against so-called ground loops, which can cause devices to function less well or suffer damage.
Power cables: usually two-core cables that provide power for a device. Specially made for ships and resistant to many conditions at sea.
Backbone or drop cable: extend the functionalities of a device by making a connection.
Adapter: for making connections between two pieces that normally do not fit together.
Transducer converter: for making a connection between analog and digital devices. For example, between analog transducers and a network.
Loose cables: for making a simple connection between two instruments.

You can also purchase several types of marine cables in the form of a kit at Mediawinkel.eu. Here you will find several types of cables, so that you have multiple connection options in one go.
