Figure 1 – Mounting the USB100 2.5 Connecting the USB100 The Maretron USB100 provides a connection to an NMEA 2000® interface through a connector that can be found on the end of the device (see Figure 2).
® The NMEA 2000® connector is a five pin male connector (see Figure 3). You connect the USB100 to an NMEA 2000® network using a Maretron NMEA 2000® cable (or compatible cable) by connecting the female end of the cable to the USB100 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to the NMEA 2000® network in the same manner.
