Never used NMEA 2000 system ..... but realise its based on thick ethernt technology, backbone, terminators, Tees & drops..
I’m adding an instrument to my boat. Boat install is standard NMEA 2000 backbone, so install will be via addition of an NMEA Tee. This uses 5 pin round branch connector.
The instrument I ‘m adding uses Deutch DT06-04S connectors. (rectangular 4 pin) – pic attached
I asked manufacturer, they just said this needs a field wiring of harness to fit NMEA
Option 1 …. Can you buy a Deutsch DT06-4S to NMEA round adapter ?
Option 2 … Can I get a simple NMEA drop lead (as short as possible) to which I will attach a female DT06-04S
There is a 3rd option which I don't really want to do, that is I buy a 'field wirable NMEA plug' and use that.
