All the required NMEA 2000 network parts can be supplied by Actisense via Lambda Marine. If you want to find out more about NMEA 2000, please click here. Additional cable lengths can be used between any of the connectors to extend the length of the network, whilst ensuring that the NMEA 2000 rules for cable lengths are adhered to, see below Table 1 - NMEA 2000 Cable Length Rules. The black couplers connect to the corresponding Ancor tees creating a simplified, color coded network. An NMEA 2000 network consists of a single network cable (the backbone) running the length of a boat, with drop cables branching off the main backbone to connect to individual devices (see diagram above). This image gives you all of the key NMEA 2000 networking rules that, if followed, will ensure your NMEA 2000 network works correctly.ĭigital Yacht uses NMEA2000 Micro connectors on cables and connectors which are universal and compatible with other manufacturer’s NMEA2000 products. Ancors NMEA 2000 Approved Drop Cables offer connection between an NMEA 2000 device and tee connector. Please note that all Digital Yacht “Drop Cables” can also be used as Backbone cables and are easily connected together to make any length of backbone cable required. Cable and Connector Network Basics 1.1 Network Topology The NMEA 2000 cable system uses a trunk (sometimes referred to as the backbone) and drop line. The maximum single drop cable length is 6m and the total length of all drop cables must be less than 76m. Digital Yacht can supply NMEA 2000 cables and connectors, to expand your NMEA 2000, to whatever size you need up to the maximum 50 NMEA 2000 device limit. This is a 3m (9ft) NMEA 2000 drop cable made of metal connectors for maximum reliability.ĭigital Yacht can supply NMEA 2000 cables and connectors, to expand your NMEA 2000, to whatever size you need – up to the maximum 50 NMEA 2000 device limit.
