{"product_id":"capuchon-de-protection-nmea-2000","title":"NMEA 2000® protection cap","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n    Designed to protect marine communication infrastructures, the Garmin NMEA 2000® cap (reference 010-10817-01) is an essential accessory for any NMEA 2000 network. Made from high-quality UV-resistant plastic, it provides a physical barrier against marine elements. This cap is specifically designed for NMEA 2000 connectors, ensuring a precise fit and optimal protection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProtection and Durability of the NMEA 2000 Network\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    The primary role of this cap is to protect unused or exposed NMEA 2000 connectors from moisture, dirt, and extreme weather conditions. This preventive protection is crucial to reduce the risk of corrosion and damage, factors that can compromise the reliability of the entire network. Properly protected marine equipment can see its lifespan extended by up to 30% according to estimates. Its discreet and lightweight design adds only a negligible weight of a few grams to the installation.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegration and Positioning in the Garmin Ecosystem\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n    Unlike active components such as chartplotters (e.g., Garmin GPSMAP series) or sensors (e.g., transducers or GPS antennas), the Garmin NMEA 2000® cap is a passive element whose value lies in preserving the integrity of the system. It complements the installation of any Garmin device using the NMEA 2000 standard by ensuring robust connections. While products such as NMEA 2000 starter kits provide the backbone of the network, accessories like this cap guarantee its operational longevity against the marine environment—a function as fundamental as network terminations or shielded cables for communication stability.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56008748597588,"sku":"010-10817-01","price":3.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/3274\/4788\/files\/01_e82d48c0-f3d8-4a1e-8618-5f4a09fcd936.jpg?v=1780434580","url":"https:\/\/skysat.fr\/en-gb\/products\/nmea-2000-protection-cap","provider":"Skysat","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
