Detailed description
The FURUNO MD-550 8-port multiswitch is a data distributor designed for managing and routing NMEA 0183 signals aboard vessels. It ensures optimal distribution of incoming signals to multiple outputs without quality degradation, acting as a central hub for communication between navigation instruments, sensors, and displays.
Versatile data distribution
This multiswitch features 2 inputs and 8 configurable outputs, allowing either a single signal to be distributed to 8 destinations or two independent signals to 4 destinations each. It handles input formats IEC 61162-1 or NMEA 0183 (versions 1.5/2.0) and provides outputs in IEC 61162-1 (RS-422) format. The FURUNO MD-550 is compatible with transmission rates ranging from 4800 bps to 38400 bps. It also supports distribution of AD-10 format signals, offering four outputs from a single input.
Technical specifications and installation
The device operates on 12–24 VDC power, consuming 0.25–0.15 A. It has a standard compass-safe distance of 1.45 m and 0.95 m for autopilot control. Its compact design (weight not specified in provided documentation) enables simplified installation in technical spaces or behind the dashboard. LED indicators (PWR, IN1, IN2) display power and input data status. Designed without a power switch, it integrates directly into the vessel’s electrical circuit for continuous use.
