How do I make a custom NMEA 2000 cordset cable? Does Maretron offer a field attachable connector?
Estimated Reading Time: 1 MinutesMaretron offers several accessories that allow you to make a custom NMEA 2000 cable.
It may be necessary to make a custom cable for the following reasons:
- Cable runs longer than 10m in length
- Routing raw cables micro/mid through bulkheads, wire trays, and conduits.
- Custom length run that are not clearly defined in the NMEA2000 network design and the installation calls for a make as you go process.
- Making or modifying proprietary cable connections to engines, non-standard NMEA2000 compatible equipment.
