Plan and install an NMEA 2000 network
An NMEA 2000 network consists of a powered backbone from
which drop cables connect to NMEA 2000 devices. The backbone
needs to run within 6 m (20 ft) of the locations of all products to be
connected, typically in a bow to stern layout.
The following guidelines apply:
•
The total length of the backbone should not exceed 100 meters
(328 ft)
•
A single drop cable has a maximum length of 6 meters (20 ft).
The total length of all drop cables combined should not exceed
78 meters (256 ft)
•
The backbone needs to have a terminator at each end of the
backbone. The terminator can be a terminator plug or a unit with
built-in terminator

Powering the network
The network requires its own 12 V DC power supply, protected by a
3 amp fuse.
For smaller systems: connect power at any location in the backbone.
For larger systems: connect power at a central point in the
backbone to balance the voltage drop of the network. Make the
installation such that the load/current draw on each side of the
power node is equal.

Note:
1 LEN (Load Equivalency Number) equals 50 mA current
draw.
