Koos - I don't know where wire as small as 28awg wire is used. The X5 connections all terminate back the the X5 course computer that has its own terminal srtip. The Compass has the smallest wires, but runs directly from the compass in one length with no splices back to the course computer terminal strip. I have used these Euro style terminal strips for other NMEA and power connections for instruments - you can get at Radio Shack

Koos - I guess that is ok if you stick with the proprietary Raymarine Seatalk NG instruments. For most applications on our boats, NMEA 0183 is sufficient for data rates. It is point to point rather than a bus, but there are enough I/O ports on the various instruments that permit interfacing everything I have. If a higher speed bus is needed, I would opt for something compatible with NMEA 2000 as a standard. On Rhapsody I successfully integrate the following manufacturers equipment using NMEA 0183: - TackTick Wireless to everything else (Via T122 TackTick to NMEA interface - on TackTick side it generates compass info, speed through water, wind direction & speed, depth and water temp. All is sent to NMEA and stuff on NEA side is sent to TackTick)
- Lowrance GPS (backup)
- Garmin GPS (Primary)
- Standard Horizon DSC Radio
- Raymarine X5 Autopilot (Primary)
- Autohelm ST1000+ Autopilot (Backup)
- Toshiba Netbook computer (backup chart plotter and data recorder)
