NMEA 2000 Cables

and Connectors

Molex Enables the NMEA 2000 Physical Layer

Molex designs, manufactures and supports a complete line of open standard cables,
cable assemblies, connectors, terminators and power products supporting the NMEA 2000
system.
NMEA 2000 is a low-cost data network operating at 250kbits/second and utilizing the Controller
Area Network (CAN) integrated circuit (IC). It allows multiple electronic devices to be connected
together on a common channel for the purpose of easily sharing information. Because it is a
network, and because multiple devices can transmit data, a more comprehensive set of rules is
required to dictate the behavior of the members of the network.
The NMEA2000 cables and connectors are a 5 pin type, and are available in two styles, the Mini-C
for heavy backbones and the Micro-C for light backbones.
