NMEA 2000 Buss Adapter Cable
and Micro-C T-shaped Connector
These instructions will help you connect a Lowrance or LEI product to an
installed NMEA 2000 network with Micro-C connectors. To do so, you
will need an adapter cable of one of the following types:
To NMEA
2000 net-
work port
With either adapter cable connect the Micro-C plug (shown left in these
figures) to an available network port on your boat's NMEA 2000 buss.
Adding a Network Port
On a manufacturer's NMEA 2000 buss, network ports are T-shaped Mi-
cro-C connectors. Connectors found in the middle of the buss (near your
dash, for instance) will have one or more of these T-shaped connectors
with the network cable plugged into both sides. Connectors at the end of
the buss will have the network cable plugged into one side, and a small
terminator plugged into the other, as shown in the following figure.

All of the ports on your boat's network will probably be filled, but if you
want to add something to it, just order a Micro-C T-shaped connector
from LEI (ordering information appears on the back page of this booklet).
This T-shaped connector adds a port to your NMEA 2000 buss.
