The Maretron Mini/Micro Tee, part number NM-CF-NF, is a specialized connector designed for expanding NMEA 2000 networks. This component facilitates the addition of a drop connection to an existing trunk line. It is suitable for IT professionals and network administrators managing marine electronics systems that utilize Mini and Micro connectors. The tee features Mini connectors for the main trunk line connections and a Micro connector for the drop line, allowing for integration of devices with different connector types. Its keyed connectors help ensure error-free installation, while gold contacts are incorporated for enhanced connection reliability. This product addresses the need for flexible network expansion and device integration within NMEA 2000 infrastructures, particularly where space or connector type variations require a compact and specific interfacing solution.
The primary function of this tee is to tap into an existing trunk line to add a drop connection. This allows for the expansion of an NMEA 2000 network by integrating additional devices.
The tee features Mini connectors for the trunk lines (Mini Male on the left and Micro Female on the right) and a Micro connector for the drop line (Micro Female on the bottom). This configuration supports interfacing between different connector sizes.
Gold contacts are included for greatest reliability in the connection. Keyed connectors are designed to ensure error-free connections during installation, preventing incorrect mating of the components.
This product is specifically designed for NMEA 2000 networks that utilize a combination of Mini and Micro connectors. It is ideal for scenarios where a Micro drop line needs to be added to a Mini trunk line.
