Know before you buy
An NMEA 2000 network requires termination at both ends of the backbone to prevent signal reflections. Without these resistors, data packets can bounce back and cause communication errors or complete system failure.
The LED provides a quick visual diagnostic tool. When illuminated, it confirms that your network is properly powered and terminated, saving you from having to use a multimeter to verify the connection.
Yes, this is a standard 120-ohm resistor designed specifically for NMEA 2000 networks. It is compatible with any marine electronic system that follows the NMEA 2000 standard.
Every NMEA 2000 backbone requires exactly two termination resistors—one at each end of the main trunk cable. Adding more than two resistors can actually degrade signal quality.
This specific model is a female connector. Be sure to check the gender of the open port at the end of your backbone cable to ensure it matches before purchasing.
