NMEA 2000 Drop Cable
The NMEA 2000 cable is only compatible with GNSS Compass part number GC2-SER. It has part number GC-NMEA2000-CABLE.
The NMEA 2000 cable is used to connect the serial variant GNSS Compass to an NMEA 2000 network and sends messages via the CAN protocol. See NMEA 2000 messages for further details.
Connection to the GNSS Compass is made through a Holin C-Size 18 pin connector. The Holin part number is CCN-L218SM. The connector has a bayonet lock and provides a reliable and rugged connection to the GNSS Compass under demanding conditions. It is rated to IP67 in the mated condition. The opposite end of the cable is a 5 pin male Micro-C connector as per the NMEA 2000 standard. The cable is 6 metres long, dual shielded and UV stable.
