For Axiom 9 plus addition do I need an iTC-5, Seatalk ng adapter or both

[pilot1995]

I'm adding an Axiom 9 (replacing a Raymarine Dragonfly) and adding a Vesper Cortex. I believe I need an iTC-5 converter but do I also need a seatalk ng adapter?
Here is the current Raymarine Equipment I have using Seatalk 1 and Seatalk ng

Your diagram is confusing. It has the same line labelled SeatalkNG and Seatalk 1, and has a picture of a SeatalkNG connector.

I don't think you need a ITC-5 because that's for interfacing your depth and log transducers to SeatalkNG. You have an ST60 Tridata and can leave the depth and log transducers connected to that. What I think you need is a Seatalk 1 to SeatalkNG converter and a SeatalkNG backbone with terminators. Everything on seatalk 1 can stay on Seatalk 1, and then via the converter go on to the SeatalkNG backbone, which will also have the plotter and AIS on. The wind can go on either network as it has both built in. The Seatalk to SeatalkNG is like a mini backbone but by the time you have added the power cable you will only have 1 port spare, so a backbone extender will be needed.

You will need...

That's just my opinion from limited information. I may be wrong. I expect a professional installer will add a comment soon.

To connect ST60 to Axiom+ you need a Raymarine SeaTalk ng to SeaTalk 1 Converter Kit

Raymarine SeaTalk ng to SeaTalk 1 Converter Kit - E22158

You have a similar set up as me. I bought my Axiom+ which was stand along and then added the converter kit. The data set is superior as TWS and TWA can be calculated and displayed on both Axiom and ST Wind. I find that useful.

The AIS Vesper Cortex can be plugged into the Raymarine SeaTalk ng to SeaTalk 1 Converter Kit with a suitable Device Net connector (male or female). They are available in different lengths.

Raymarine SeaTalk ng Spur to Devicenet Female Adaptor Cable 400mm - A06045

The cables are expensive but once purchased job done.

Tip: Mark the connections on your drawing, it helps keep it under control.

Looks correct to me

Sorry, the diagram is confusing, poorly drawn. The label was not for the lines, the label was just a reminder to myself which Seatalk each device used. Thank you all for the information. This will be cost less than the iTC-5 which I was about to order. I really appreciate the answers.
