Overview

The Garmin 010-11078-01CASE is a case pack of five NMEA 2000 multi-port T-connectors that let you connect up to four NMEA 2000 device drops at one backbone location. It is a clean way to build out a bus behind the helm or in a rigging locker without stacking several standard tees in a row.

By putting the connection points into one rigid block, the backbone run has fewer joints to work loose, and the cable bundle is easier to support so the connectors are not carrying the load.

Key features

• 4-port multi-port T-connector format for bringing up to four device drop connections to a single backbone point
• Helps reduce extra joints in long or crowded backbones compared with chaining multiple tees
• Rigid body makes it easier to secure the network and manage strain on cables in areas with vibration
• Data interface: NMEA 2000
• Case pack quantity: 5 connectors

Installation and setup

Install the connector inline on the NMEA 2000 backbone where you have several devices in the same area. Once the backbone is reconnected through the tee, plug each device drop cable into an open port and secure the cabling so the connectors are not hanging by their leads.

Keep your network layout within normal NMEA 2000 practices, including correct termination at the ends of the backbone and a single, properly fused power connection at the appropriate point in the system.

Compatibility and fit

This connector is for NMEA 2000 network cabling and is used when you need several drops near the same mounting location. It fits typical marine electronics networks that include chartplotters, instruments, autopilot components, VHF/AIS, sensors, and other NMEA 2000 equipment. It suits refits where multiple drops land behind one console and installers stocking parts for repeat builds.
