Victron VE.Can to NMEA 2000 Micro-C Male Cable

The Victron VE.Can to NMEA 2000 Micro-C Male Cable links Victron equipment with a VE.Can port to an NMEA 2000 network.

It bridges two network formats that are electrically compatible but physically different. VE.Can and NMEA 2000 use the same underlying CAN bus, so the cable is an adapter rather than a converter, and no translation electronics are involved.

Male Micro-C is the connector at the NMEA 2000 end, and the network's spare drop connector has to be female to accept it. Checking the free connector on the backbone before ordering avoids the common outcome of two male ends and nothing to join them.

Network termination still has to be correct after the connection is made. An NMEA 2000 backbone needs a terminator at each end to work at all, and adding a device without checking that is a common cause of a network that stops communicating. Explore more electrical system accessories.

• An adapter, not a converter: both are CAN bus
• Male Micro-C needs a female drop on the backbone
• Two male ends and nothing to join them is common
• Termination must still be correct afterward
