This document provides installation instructions for an NMEA 2000 Network Expansion Cable and terminators. This product is intended for use with NMEA 2000-ready (blue connector) Lowrance or LEI products.
This document provides installation instructions for the LEI NMEA 2000 Network Expansion Cable, which is a 25-foot cable with Y-adapters at both ends. The package includes two 120-ohm terminators intended for use with NMEA 2000-ready Lowrance or LEI products.
The guide explains how to configure NMEA 2000 networks by managing terminators to prevent exposed power sources. It details how to expand a network by moving a 60-ohm terminator or replacing it with two 120-ohm terminators, and illustrates various setups including connecting multiple GPS units, sonar-GPS combo units, and temperature sensors.
| Cable Length | 25-foot (7.62 meters) |
|---|---|
| Terminator Resistance | 120-ohm |
| Connector Type | Blue connector |
| Connector Configuration | One female and three male |
No, you should never add terminators to an operational NMEA 2000 network because it is already terminated.
Ensure that all plugs on the NMEA 2000 network are attached to something to avoid leaving an exposed power source.
No, sonar readings cannot be shared because the sonar signal from a transducer is far too powerful for the network.
