Ancor NMEA 2000 Dual Device Starter Kit

The Ancor NMEA 2000 Dual Device Starter Kit is an essential package for boat owners looking to establish or expand their vessel's data network using the NMEA 2000 (National Marine Electronics Association) protocol. Utilized widely throughout the marine industry, NMEA 2000 is a standardized communication method that allows different marine electronic devices to connect and communicate with each other. Ancor is a trusted brand when it comes to marine electronics, and this starter kit serves as the perfect foundation for a reliable and expandable network.

This kit contains high-quality components required to set up a basic NMEA 2000 network capable of connecting two marine electronic devices. Included in the package are:

• A 1-meter power cable with tee (item# 270000), which is the backbone of the system providing power to the network.
• Male and female terminators (1 of each) – item# 270105 and 270106, which are critical for preventing signal reflections that can disrupt network communication.
• One dual tee connector (item# 270103), allowing the integration of two devices into the network.
• Two 2-meter drop cables (item# 270302), providing the connections between individual devices and the main network backbone.

Additionally, it's important for consumers to note that this product contains di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For further information about this warning, please visit P65Warnings.ca.gov.
