Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a termination resistor on an NMEA 2000 network?
Termination resistors are placed at each end of the NMEA 2000® network backbone to absorb signal reflections, preventing data corruption and ensuring reliable communication across all connected devices.
Where should termination resistors be placed on an NMEA 2000 network?
Termination resistors must be placed at both ends of the NMEA 2000® network trunk cable (backbone).
Are Maretron termination resistors waterproof?
Yes, the Maretron Micro Termination Resistor features a waterproof design and is capable of functioning reliably even when submerged.
What type of connector does the Maretron Micro Termination Resistor use?
The Maretron Micro Termination Resistor utilizes a secure screw terminal connector for positive connections.
Can I use this termination resistor on a different type of marine network?
No, this termination resistor is specifically designed and optimized for NMEA 2000® networks only.
