2.1.2 Network Connection
Drop cable connection
A drop cable is connected to a backbone cable with T-type connectors*. The back-
bone cable is of the “light” type. Attach a terminator at the ends of the backbone
cable. Only two termination resistors are required on an NMEA 2000
®
network.
More than two will degrade performance.
* Recommended type: LTWSS-050505-FMF-TS001 (LTW Technology, Inc.), or
equivalent
Backbone cable connection
Use this connection method to connect the GP330B at the final node in the back-
bone cable. Use T-type connectors to connect equipment to the backbone cable.
