What is NMEA 2000?
NMEA 2000 is a plug-and-play communications standard used for connecting marine sensors and display
devices within ships and boats, and is considered the successor to the NMEA
®
0183 serial data bus standard.

Garmin uses NMEA 2000 micro connectors on devices, sensors, and T-connectors that are compatible with
other NMEA 2000 micro connectors, cables, and NMEA 2000 compatible devices.
