NMEA 2000 is the modern network standard for marine electronics. Devices such as chartplotters, instruments, sensors, autopilots, and engine interfaces can exchange data with each other via a single shared network.

An NMEA 2000 network is built around a central backbone. You connect devices via T-connectors and short drop cables, with proper power supply and terminators at the ends of the network.

For new installations and expansions, NMEA 2000 is often the most logical basis. It keeps your system clear, expandable, and suitable for using data on multiple displays and instruments.
