NMEA2000 / SimNet |
For larger systems introduce power at central point in the backbone to "balance" the voltage
drop of the network. Use SimNet cable without termination (yellow cap) (24005910)

Integrating SimNet and other NMEA 2000 networks
Increasingly there are vessels that will have other NMEA 2000 based networks provided by
diff erent manufacturers. If networks from diff erent manufacturers are required to share data, it
is important to plan how both networks are going to interface to each other.
All NMEA 2000 compliant networks follow the same NMEA 2000 rules:
• a continuous backbone with devices connecting by a drop cable no more than 6 m (20 ft)
• two terminators, one at each end of the network
• a single 12 V DC power supply
