• An NMEA 2000 network needs to have a terminator at each end of
the backbone. A terminator can be one of the following:
• a power cable with built in terminator
• a terminated blanking plug
• a wind transducer (terminator is in the mast head
unit as opposed to mast cable).
• CertainSimradproductshavetwoMicro-CorSimNetconnectors,
which can be made to be an in line component of the backbone.

network topology is not officially NMEA 2000 compliant.
• NMEA2000 devices can be connected to the SimNet Network
providing they:
• are NMEA2000 certified, or state full compatibility
• meet the CE, FCC regulations with a SimNet adapter
cable

Planning and installing a network backbone
Plan the backbone carefully.
The NMEA 2000 backbone needs to run between the locations of all
products you want to install, typically in a bow to stern layout, and
be no further than 6 m from a device to be connected.
Choose from the following components to make up your NMEA
2000 backbone:
• Micro-Ccables:Availablelengthsfrom0.4m(1.3ft)to25m(82.5ft)
• Micro-Cpowercableswithorwithouttermination
• T-connector.Useatlocationswhereyouwanttoconnectadevice
by drop cable
• Wind transducer. If using a wind sensor, plan to connect this to one
end of the backbone as this has a terminator built in
• Micro-CmaleandMicro-CfemaletoSimNetadaptorcablesfor
