NMEA2000 Micro-C Male Termination Certified

The FURUNO-certified NMEA2000 Micro-C male termination is an essential component for the integrity and proper operation of any NMEA 2000 network. Designed to be installed at the ends of the main backbone, it provides the required 120 Ω terminal resistance to prevent signal reflections and ensure stable communication between all connected devices.

Design and Technical Specifications

This component features a 5-pin Micro-C male connector compliant with NMEA 2000 standards. Its robust construction includes a marine-grade molded housing and corrosion-resistant contacts. It is engineered to withstand demanding marine environments, including humidity, vibrations, and UV exposure. NMEA 2000 connectors typically offer IP67 to IP68 ingress protection ratings, ensuring effective sealing. The termination supports a nominal current of 4A and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Network Integration and Performance

The termination is compatible with all NMEA 2000-certified networks and devices, including systems from brands such as Garmin, Simrad, Lowrance, Raymarine (via SeaTalkNG Micro-C compatible), B&G, and Yamaha Command Link. Its role is critical in maintaining optimal signal flow, minimizing data errors, and ensuring reliable communication. Incorrect or missing termination at either end of the backbone can lead to intermittent data loss or complete network failure. Its compact design allows for simple and direct installation into a T-connector or backbone fitting without requiring additional cables or adapters, facilitating integration even in confined spaces.
