Digital Yacht NMEA 2000 Starter Cable Kit

Nearly every new marine electronics product has an NMEA 2000 interface today, but it's still something of a black box to many boat owners, and even fairly technical users can struggle to figure out exactly what's needed to make products work correctly together. Digital Yacht's large range of AIS products is often the first add-on that gets a boat owner thinking about NMEA 2000 in the first place. That first encounter is exactly where this kit is meant to help.

That's why this Starter Cable Kit exists: a cost-effective, sensibly put-together answer to the question Digital Yacht gets asked constantly, which is simply what a boat owner needs to make an NMEA 2000 device actually work. It's ideal for smaller boats that only need a modest network. It can also serve as the starting point for a larger system built up over time as more devices get added.

Rather than requiring a new NMEA 2000 owner to research and source a backbone cable, terminators, a power tap, and a tee connector separately, this kit bundles the core components into one purchase. That bundling removes the single biggest hurdle most people hit when adding their first NMEA 2000 device, which is simply knowing what to buy in the first place. Everything included is matched hardware, so there's no compatibility guesswork once it arrives. See what else we carry in marine networking.

• Bundles the core components for a first NMEA 2000 network
• Ideal for smaller boats, expandable later
• Removes the guesswork of sourcing parts separately
• Cost-effective starting point
