If you have a double T Connector on your network that is not at-

tached to a device, you must cap the unused connector with a 

NMEA 2000 cap. This will protect the pin connectors from corro-

sion. The NMEA 2000 cap looks like a terminator, but has "Cap" 

stamped into the connector housing. 

Adding a Network Node 
You can add a node to any existing connection, anywhere along the net-

work backbone. This connection could be between a T connector and a 

terminator, between two T connectors, between a T connector and a 

backbone extension cable or between two extension cables. Wherever 

you want to add the new node, separate the sockets of the existing con-

nection and install the T connector between them. 

 

If you want to add a node at the end of the backbone (network bus) re-

move the terminator from the last connector, like the figure above. In-

stall the new T connector and attach the terminator to the side of the 

connector. 

Further instructions on creating or expanding a network are illustrated in 

the NMEA 2000 network setup booklet, part number 988-0154-173, which 

came packed with manual.
