micro-fit connector. Simply connect the cable to the NMEA 2000 network backbone or using a T-piece
connector.
Figure 3: Pin NMEA 2000 male micro-fit connection
The main communication channel of an NMEA 2000 network is an NMEA 2000 backbone to which
NMEA 2000 devices are connected. The NMEA 2000 backbone must be powered from a stable 12V DC
