Maretron NBE100-01 NMEA2000 Network Bus Extender

Maximise your network

The Maretron NBE100-01 NMEA2000 Network Bus Extender allows you to go beyond the maximum NMEA 2000 network design rules and extend an NMEA 2000 network to two, three, four and even five times larger than normal. The NBE100 also solves problems associated with network errors and other electrical issues caused by exceeding NMEA 2000 rules and it simplifies the design of large networks.

NMEA 2000 network rules allow a maximum of 50 products connected on a single network, a maximum trunk length of 200 meters, and a maximum drop length of 78 meters. If you have a network that exceeds any of these specifications, you can simply extend the network trunk by inserting the NBE100, along with the additional termination resistors and powertaps. This will split the network into multiple electrical segments allowing 50 products per segment. The NBE100 will transparently route NMEA 2000 messages between multiple network segments, making them work as a single logical NMEA 2000 network. Lastly, the NBE100 can be used to build redundant networks or isolate certain network segments so that if one segment is compromised, the other segments continue to operate.

Maretron NBE100-01 NMEA2000 Network Bus Extender Features:

• Segments a single large NMEA 2000 network into smaller multiple electrical segments
  
• Allows you to exceed the 50 product limitation on a NMEA 2000 network
  
• Allows you to exceed the 200 meter trunk length limitation on a NMEA 2000 network
  
• Allows you to exceed the 78 meter drop lengths limitation on a NMEA 2000 networks
  
• Allows all NMEA 2000 devices to operate as if they were still on a single NMEA 2000 network
  
• Optically isolates network segments, increasing signal integrity and network reliability
