The Network Backbone Cable is the data communications \"pipeline\" that runs the length of the boat, and capped at each end with a 120-ohm Terminator. The backbone is interspersed with T-Connectors for linking to (and data sharing between) all sensors and display devices. The NMEA 2000® network 12-Volt power cable connects to the boat\'s 12-volt supply to power devices like the EP-10 Fuel Flow Sensor, LMF-400 Multi-Function Gauge, and Point-1 GPS Antenna. Compatible fishfinder/chartplotters are powered separately with their own 12-volt power source wiring.
Ethernet cables are used to share video data between compatible displays.
Starter Kit includes: power cable, 15\' backbone cable, 2 terminating resistors (TR-120M-RD, TR-120F-RD), two T-connector (N2K-T-RD) and one 2\' extension cable (N2KEXT-2RD).
