Extend and Enhance Your Marine Network with Ease

The Maretron NBE100-01 NMEA 2000 Network Bus Extender is an essential solution for expanding and stabilizing marine data networks. Designed for seamless integration, this advanced device enables users to extend the maximum node count, network trunk length, and cumulative drop length of any NMEA 2000® network. By effectively splitting a large network into two smaller yet fully functional segments, the NBE100 eliminates common electrical issues, enhances reliability, and allows for greater flexibility in designing extensive marine communication systems.

Advanced Network Expansion for Large-Scale Marine Applications

Marine networks often face limitations that can impact performance and reliability. With the NBE100, these barriers are removed, allowing for network expansion without compromising signal integrity. By segmenting the network into two electrical sections, the NBE100 increases the maximum number of supported nodes from 50 to 100 while ensuring that all devices function as part of a unified system.

Technical Specifications

• Seamlessly extends NMEA 2000® networks beyond standard limitations
• Enables support for up to 100 nodes by dividing a single network into two segments
• Increases maximum network trunk length beyond 200m
• Expands the allowable cumulative drop length beyond 78m
• Maintains smooth data flow with priority-based message routing
• Provides optical isolation to enhance signal integrity and overall network reliability

Highlights

• Segments an NMEA 2000® network into two independent yet unified electrical segments
• Enables network growth beyond the standard 50-node restriction
• Supports extended trunk lengths and drop lengths for large-scale installations
• Ensures high-priority messages are routed first for reliable data transmission
• Optical isolation enhances network stability and prevents electrical interference

The Maretron NBE100-01 is an indispensable tool for marine professionals looking to build robust and scalable NMEA 2000® networks. Whether extending the reach of an existing system or solving network errors caused by limitations, this bus extender ensures seamless communication and enhanced performance across all connected devices.
