Efficient AIS Antenna Sharing for Marine Navigation

The Simrad NSPL-500 AIS Splitter is designed to enhance marine communication and navigation efficiency. By allowing a single antenna to be shared among AIS, VHF, and FM radio systems, this compact and lightweight device eliminates the need for a second costly antenna. Ideal for both sailboats and powerboats, the NSPL-500 ensures seamless connectivity in busy shipping lanes and crowded ports. Its high-performance design delivers superior signal reception with minimal loss, optimizing both safety and convenience on the water.

High-Performance Design with Low Signal Loss

Engineered for marine applications, the NSPL-500 AIS Splitter provides a reliable, low-loss solution for sharing an antenna between critical communication and navigation systems. It offers no insertion loss on AIS and VHF receive, ensuring uninterrupted transmission quality, while maintaining low insertion loss on AIS and VHF transmit. This guarantees clear and strong signals across all supported channels.

Waterproof and Durable Construction

Built to withstand harsh marine environments, the NSPL-500 meets the IPX7 waterproof standard, ensuring resilience against water exposure. Whether exposed to spray, splashes, or challenging weather conditions, this splitter remains functional and reliable.

Energy-Efficient Operation

The NSPL-500 is designed for low power consumption, making it an excellent choice for boats with limited power resources. Operating at an average power consumption of less than 150 mA at 12V DC, it efficiently supports both 12V and 24V systems, accommodating a voltage range from 9.6V to 31.2V DC.

Plug-and-Play Installation

Installation is made simple with the NSPL-500's plug-and-play connectivity. The integrated FM connector allows for easy integration with SonicHub™ 2 or any compatible stereo FM unit. The included power and accessory cables further streamline the setup process, ensuring a hassle-free experience for boat owners.
