The NMEA 2000
®
protocol allows several types of harness. The
one shown in this document is the smaller type used in pleasure
boats and small vessels. The larger harness is used in shipboard
applications. Any manufacturer may use their own harness but to
adhere to the standard they must have an adaptor harness that
allows easy connection to the approved harness. All SEASTAR
SOLUTIONS CAN Bus harness meet the NMEA 2000
®
standard and
will work with any other suppliers’ harness that meet the NMEA
2000
®
standard.
While the NMEA 2000
®
standard allows separate wires and
terminals all CAN Bus harness use the connectors shown in this
manual. They are easy to install and result in a high quality, rugged,
waterproof installation. The harness should never be cut and spliced.
